Show HN: Get e-signatures & pay per signed doc

Woke up today with a 100-degree fever & found out Google is now our competitor.
Last week, we started building signwith.co/ - a simple, pay-per-use e-signature tool for people who are struggling with complex e-sign tools.
The plan was to build quietly, run a private beta, get 50 users in 15 days, and then do a launch. Easy peasy.
But since Google dropped into the e-signature space - we needed to talk.
So after 30 minutes of existential dread, a lot of “what are we even doing?” thoughts, and one strong dose of paracetamol
we said, screw it. - let’s change gears.
So now we're opening our beta, and here's the deal:
• All the people who join will get free credits worth 10 signed docs • 12 months credit validity • No complexity • No hidden cost • No subscription commitment
You can join the beta here - http://signwith.co
That said, we see Google's entry in the signature space as validation.
This event expanded the market with such massive awareness.
Let me be clear: We’re not trying to be DocuSign, Google, or any other enterprise beast.
We’re indie makers and building for: • The freelancers • The consultants • The indie and small business owners • and anyone who just needs a contract signed—fast, simple, no headaches.
Here’s how SignWith works: • Upload your doc • Drop signature spots • Send it out and track • Pay per signed document
That’s it. No subscriptions. No feature bloat. No crazy hidden charges and no complex pricing tiers.
If you've read it so far, would love to see you on the other side.
And hey, if you’ve got any feedback, suggestions, or just want to tell us what you need, reply here or drop me a DM. We’re all ears!
Cheers!

Kind of tangential, but I'll share a bit of a horror story from a friend when it comes to e-signatures.
The company in question uses DocuSign, and most of their clients do as well. They are big, serious companies. However, nobody is able to set up DocuSign in a reasonable way for a multi-client contract. Every company needs to use their own DocuSign.
Now, DocuSign embeds a cryptographic signature in the signed PDF. This means you can't sign a PDF twice.
So what my friend does is create the PDF to be signed, send it to one company for signatures, get it back and run it through Microsoft Print to PDF. This friendly utility happily strips away all cryptographic signatures, but importantly leaves the "signature picture" in place. And then they can send this PDF to the next company.
I joked that every time they do this, a cryptographer somewhere stubs their pinky toe on a corner.
