The freelancer math
Paperwork is quietly costing you money.
The admin side of freelancing is where hours and dollars leak out. Here is what the research says, and where Stoatify plugs the holes.

The whole contract lifecycle in one place.
Draft, sign, store, find. One tool instead of a signing service, a cloud drive and a folder of chaos.
Tamper-evident e-signatures
Send a contract, SOW or NDA and collect a signature with a full audit trail and a tamper-evident certificate. Your client signs from a link, no account required. Your first few sends are free, then Pro at $14 / mo unlocks unlimited signing.
Keep the signed copy with the draft
Download the signed PDF and keep it in your vault next to the draft. No more hunting your inbox for the final copy two years later.
Organized by client and category
Choose categories and client tags for contracts, invoices, receipts, W-9s, and 1099s so they are ready to retrieve at tax time.
Find any client doc instantly
Full-text search reads the words inside your scans and PDFs. Pull up that one clause, invoice or receipt in seconds, even years later.
Ready for tax season
Everything is tagged by client and category as it arrives, so pulling every invoice, receipt and 1099 for the year is one filtered view, not a weekend of digging.
Password-protected share links
Send a client a clean, password-protected link to a document or saved collection. Revoke access the moment the project wraps.
E-signature
Send a contract in a minute, get it signed from anywhere.
Drop in your agreement, place the signature and date fields, and send. Your client signs from a link on any device with no account and no friction, and you get a cryptographically sealed, tamper-evident result.
- Tamper-evident signatures with a complete audit trail
- Reusable templates for the contracts you send every week
- Clients sign from a link, no account or app to install
Versioning
Keep the signed copy next to the draft.
When everyone has signed, download the final PDF and keep it in your vault, so the authoritative copy is never the one buried in your inbox.
- Download the sealed PDF and keep it with the draft
- Full version history for every agreement
- Tagged by client and project, so a year of records is one filtered view
Search
Find any clause, rate or date.
Stoatify reads the text inside every scan and PDF, so you can search by what a document actually says. Pull up a rate, a renewal date or a specific invoice in seconds, from two years of records.
- Full-text OCR search across every document
- Filter by client, tag, category or date
- Command palette to jump anywhere with the keyboard

FAQ
Common questions from freelancers
How trustworthy are the signatures?
Stoatify produces electronic signatures with a complete audit trail and a tamper-evident certificate, the same category of e-signature businesses rely on every day. Every signing event is recorded so you can prove who signed what, and when.
Do my clients need a Stoatify account to sign?
No. You send a signing link and your client signs from any browser on any device, with no account and no app to install. It is deliberately frictionless so you are not the reason a deal stalls.
How is this different from just using DocuSign?
DocuSign focuses on signing. Stoatify combines signing with an organized, searchable vault where you can keep the downloaded result alongside invoices, receipts and tax documents. One tool instead of three.
How many documents can I send?
Your first few sends are free so you can try real signing. When you need volume, Pro at $14 / mo unlocks unlimited sending, still not metered per envelope, so a busy month never turns into a surprise bill. That beats DocuSign's five-per-month Personal cap.
Is it ready for tax season?
That is one of the best parts. Because everything is tagged by client and category as it comes in, pulling every invoice, receipt and 1099 for the year is a single filtered view, not a weekend of digging.
Who can see my documents?
Only you, and anyone you explicitly share with. Files stay behind your login and are never used for advertising or to train AI. A document you are not authorized to see returns a not-found response rather than revealing that it exists.
