Paperwork is quietly costing you money.

The whole contract-to-filed lifecycle.
Draft, sign, store, find. One tool instead of a signing service, a cloud drive and a folder of chaos.
Legally binding 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.
Every version, filed
The signed PDF lands back in your vault automatically, versioned next to the draft. No more hunting your inbox for the final copy two years later.
Sorted for how you work
Contracts, invoices, receipts, W-9s and 1099s land in the right place on their own, tagged by client and ready 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.
Never chase blind
Reminders nudge you on unsigned contracts, renewal dates and follow-ups, so nothing quietly slips past its deadline.
Share like a pro
Send a client a clean, password-protected link to a document or a whole folder. 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 legally binding, tamper-evident result.
- Legally binding 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
The signed copy files itself, next to the draft.
When everyone has signed, the final PDF lands back in your vault, versioned and stamped, so the authoritative copy is never the one buried in your inbox. Every revision stays on the record.
- Signed documents stored automatically, no manual download and re-upload
- Full version history for every agreement
- Tagged by client and project so tax season is boring, in a good way
Search
That one clause? Found before you finish typing.
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

From sent to settled, without leaving Stoatify.

FAQ
Freelancer questions, answered.
Are the signatures legally binding?
Yes. 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 signs a document and stops there. Stoatify signs it and then files the result in an organized, searchable vault alongside your invoices, receipts and tax documents, with reminders and version history built in. One tool instead of three.
How many documents can I send?
Far more than DocuSign's five-per-month Personal cap. Sending is included in your plan rather than metered per envelope, so a busy month does not turn into a surprise bill.
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 are encrypted in transit, stored behind your login in private buckets, and 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.
