The DocuSign alternative built for the UAE

DocuSign is excellent enterprise software with an enterprise invoice. If what you actually need is to get contracts signed — in English, Arabic or Russian, billed in dirhams, without per-user fees or envelope caps — that is exactly what Taqeeq was built for.

The envelope-cap surprise

The number that shocks most DocuSign customers is not the seat price — it's the cap. On Standard and Business Pro plans, "unlimited" sending is in practice bounded at roughly 100 envelopes per user per year under fair-use terms (source). A UAE trading company sending 10 contracts a week burns through that in under three months, then gets a sales call. Taqeeq has no envelope concept at all: send 30 documents a month or 300 — the company-wide price never moves.

When DocuSign is the right choice

Fair is fair: choose DocuSign if you need deep Salesforce/SAP/Microsoft integrations, complex CLM workflows, dedicated compliance certifications for global enterprise procurement, or your counterparties' legal departments mandate it. Those are real strengths — you pay for them whether you use them or not.

Switching is a 10-minute job

  1. Export or collect your active templates as PDF/Word.
  2. Upload to Taqeeq and drag the signature fields once — they become reusable templates.
  3. Send by email or share a link. Your clients sign from a phone; nobody registers anywhere.

Frequently asked questions

Is Taqeeq as legally valid as DocuSign in the UAE?
Both platforms provide simple electronic signatures with audit trails, and both rest on the same legal basis: UAE Federal Decree-Law No. 46 of 2021. Neither issues Qualified (QES) signatures on standard plans. Validity comes from the signature type and evidence, not the brand.
Can I import my DocuSign templates?
Upload the underlying PDF or Word file to Taqeeq and place fields once — it becomes a reusable template. There is no automated DocuSign-to-Taqeeq migration, but most customers rebuild their handful of templates in minutes.
Does Taqeeq have an API like DocuSign?
Yes — Taqeeq is built on proven open-source e-signing technology with a REST API for creating submissions and templates. For integration questions, message us on WhatsApp.
What does DocuSign cost in the UAE compared to Taqeeq?
DocuSign self-serve plans run US$10–45 per user per month (billed in USD) with envelope caps. Taqeeq is free to start (3 documents/month) and AED 700 per month total for the whole company — unlimited users, documents and signers, billed in AED. A 15-user office on DocuSign runs roughly AED 1,350–2,500/month.
