“We were tired of DocuSign’s inconsistencies, the escalating costs, an account rep that changed every ninety days, and the lackluster customer service. The moment we switched to BlueInk, we experienced immediate benefits – a 45% cost savings, a dedicated support dream-team responding in minutes, and a more efficient business with 58% productivity improvement, 70% faster document turnaround, all in just 3 days."
Bryan Jenkins Principal Broker, AHI Properties
"BlueInk’s reasonable cost and multiple document-sharing options is the fastest and simplest way to get parent signatures, and the cost is unbeatable. Our favorite feature is the text message option, allowing us to effortlessly obtain consent for various forms. We were impressed not just by the functionality but also by the affordability. It's a fraction of the cost compared to other solutions. With BlueInk, we save time, money, and paper.”
Shauni Vaughn Director of Student Services
"Serving workers' comp statewide, signatures were a pain. We tried DocuSign and HelloSign, but they weren't efficient. BlueInk's SMS feature changed it all. Patients sign instantly, mistakes are rare. Our document processing time went from a frustrating 10 days down to less than an hour. Plus, it's a budget-friendly choice, and that's been a real game-changer for our pharmacy!”

FAQs

What is an eSignature API?

An eSignature API (also called an electronic signature API, e-signature API, or eSign API) allows developers to integrate electronic signature capabilities into any website, app, or platform. You can send, sign, verify, and track documents programmatically with secure, compliant workflows.

Is Blueink compliant with electronic signature laws?

Yes. Blueink complies with eIDAS (EU), the ESIGN Act (US), and UETA (US), ensuring every signature is legally valid and enforceable across multiple jurisdictions. Every envelope includes a detailed audit trail of who signed, when, and how they were verified.

How much does the Blueink eSignature API cost?

The cost of Blueink’s eSignature API depends on your usage and plan. API credits start at $0.95 per envelope, with volume discounts that can reduce the cost to $0.24 per envelope. Credits never expire, and testing in the sandbox is free. Visit our API plans & pricing page for full details.

How do I get started with the Blueink eSignature API?

You can create a free sandbox account or request a demo. The sandbox is free with unlimited test envelopes and no time limit, so you can build and test embedded signing, webhooks, and templates before going live. Follow the installation guide and SDK documentation, and our API Success Team is available during your trial for technical support.

Can I use Blueink as a document signing API?

Yes. Use the REST API to send documents and templates for signature, embed signing in your app, track status in real time with webhooks, and download completed documents with their audit trail.

What is the difference between a digital signature API and an eSignature API?

The terms are often used interchangeably. Strictly, a digital signature is a type of electronic signature that uses certificate-based encryption. Blueink’s eSignature API focuses on legally binding electronic signatures with identity verification options and full audit trails.

Can I send non-API envelopes when I sign up for an API plan?

API plans include a limited number of “regular” envelopes, allowing you to send envelopes from the Blueink Dashboard and via the API. However, if you need to regularly send envelopes from the Dashboard and via our API, an Enterprise plan is probably the best fit for your organization. Please contact our sales team to discuss options.

Can the Blueink API replace the Docusign API?

Yes, for many standard eSignature workflows. Blueink supports document sending, embedded signing, templates, webhooks, tracking, and API automation. If your Docusign implementation relies on broader agreement-management features, you should review those requirements before migrating.
