Dotloop Pricing: DocuSign vs Dotloop, Dotloop Cost and Monthly Broker Plans

Dotloop costs $34.99 a month for Premium, or $344 if you buy a year at once, which is $28.67 a month. The free account costs nothing and covers up to 10 transactions. Dotloop for Teams and dotloop Business+ for brokerages have no published price and are quoted after a call. Verified on dotloop.com on September 2, 2026.

One correction worth making, because it is repeated widely and it is wrong. A number of software roundups still list dotloop Premium at $31.99 a month. Dotloop's own pricing page shows $34.99 as of September 2, 2026. If a comparison article quotes you $31.99, it has not been re-read in a while, and the rest of its numbers deserve the same suspicion.

Yes, dotloop has a genuinely free account, and it covers up to 10 real estate transactions. In dotloop's own wording you can create up to 10 free real estate transactions with access to MLS and association forms, the mobile app, document editing, sharing, e-signing and storage, task lists and a real-time activity log. It is not time limited and it does not ask for a card.

The important detail is the denominator. Ten transactions is a lifetime count on the account, not a monthly allowance that refills. That makes it behave very differently from the free and entry tiers everywhere else in this category, which reset. An agent who closes one deal a month exhausts dotloop's free plan in ten months and then faces the full subscription; an agent on a $120-a-year DocuSign Real Estate Starter plan gets five sends every month, forever, and never runs out in that sense.

Put plainly: the eleventh transaction on a free dotloop account costs $34.99, because there is no intermediate step between the free tier and Premium. That is the whole pricing decision for a working agent, and it arrives all at once rather than gradually.

Dotloop flags 11 of the 24 features on its agent card as Premium only. The headline one is unlimited transactions. The other ten are mostly volume, communication and support. Everything a signature legally needs, including e-signatures, the audit trail, MLS and association forms and in-person signing, is on the free account.

Two of those Premium flags matter more than their names suggest. Unlimited participants is one: a residential closing routinely involves a buyer, a seller, two agents, a lender, a title officer and an inspector, so a capped participant list is a real constraint on a real deal rather than a nice-to-have. Invite service providers is the other, for the same reason. Read the free tier as ten complete transactions with a smaller guest list, not as a crippled demo.

Dotloop Premium is $34.99 per month paid monthly, or $28.67 per month if you pay $344 for the year. The gap between the two is $75.88 over twelve months. Dotloop advertises that as 18 percent off, and $75.88 against $419.88 is 18.07 percent, so the badge is accurate.

That is worth saying out loud because it is unusual. Annual discount badges in the e-signature and real estate software market are frequently misleading, and the errors run in both directions: some vendors publish a saving that is really the monthly surcharge read backwards, and others quote a percentage that understates what the annual plan actually changes. Dotloop's 18 percent is simply correct, checkable from the two numbers on its own page in about ten seconds.

The month-to-month option has a real use. Dotloop's free account gives you ten transactions, so a part-time agent can sit on the free tier most of the year and switch Premium on for the two or three busy months when the eleventh deal lands. At $34.99 for a single month, three busy months cost $104.97, which is $239 less than the annual plan.

For running a real estate transaction end to end, dotloop is the better product, because that is what it is. For sending documents for signature at the lowest price, DocuSign's REALTORS plan is cheaper at $240 a year against dotloop's $344, and a flat rate signing account is cheaper still. They solve different problems and the price gap is smaller than the product gap.

The honest summary is that DocuSign is a signature that happens to know about real estate, and dotloop is a real estate deal file that happens to include a signature. If your brokerage already gives you a compliance system, DocuSign at $240 covers the remaining job for $104 a year less. If you are running your own compliance out of email folders and a shared drive, dotloop replaces that, and $104 is not the number to make the decision on.

Where neither wins is the agent who sends a handful of documents a month and does not need forms, storage or review stages. That agent is paying real estate platform prices for an e-signature, and a general purpose signing account at $144 a year does the same job.

Dotloop does not publish a price for either. Dotloop for Teams and dotloop Business+ both show Contact Us on the pricing page, and the only stated route to a number is a ten-minute discovery call for a personalized quote. Verified September 2, 2026.

This is worth naming clearly because the page is titled for agents, teams and brokers, and it carries exactly one number. Two of the three audiences it addresses cannot get a price from it. Anyone quoting you a public dotloop broker rate is quoting something dotloop does not publish.

If you are collecting quotes, ask for three things in the same email: the per-seat rate, the minimum seat count, and the contract term. Unpublished pricing in this category is usually per seat with a floor, and the floor is what turns a reasonable per-seat number into a bill your agent count does not justify yet.

No, and the gap is far larger than it looks. SkySlope Suite starts at $340 per month. Dotloop Premium is $344 per year. The two published numbers are four dollars apart on the page and twelve times apart in what you actually pay: SkySlope's floor is $4,080 a year against dotloop's $344.

The reason is the buyer, not the software. SkySlope's published floor is a brokerage price, sold by demo with no per-agent tier printed anywhere. Dotloop's published price is one agent's subscription. Comparing them directly is the most common mistake in this cluster, and it is the single figure worth remembering from this page: in real estate transaction management, the same-looking number can mean a month or a year depending on who the vendor is talking to.

SkySlope publishes no tiers below that floor and no per-seat breakdown, only a demo request and a note that no long-term contract is required. Verified on skyslope.com on September 2, 2026 from both the page source and a rendered screenshot, because a single reading of a price this unusual is not enough.

At $344 a year, dotloop Premium costs $34.40 per transaction if you close ten deals, $17.20 at twenty, $11.47 at thirty and $8.60 at forty. The free account costs nothing for the first ten and then stops. There is no volume pricing and no middle tier, so the cost per deal falls purely with your own closing count.

Two honest notes on that table. The Cannot reach cells are not a criticism, they are the free tier's design: ten transactions is a sample of the product, not a plan to run a business on. And the right-hand column is not like for like, because a flat rate signing account sends documents and does not manage a transaction. The column is there so you can see what the transaction management layer costs you on top of the signature, which at thirty closings a year is about $6.67 per deal.

You need transaction management if a third party audits your deals: a broker reviewing files, a compliance stage that has to be signed off, MLS and association forms you must pull rather than retype. You need e-signature software if the job ends when the document comes back signed with a record of who signed it and when.

Most agents genuinely need the first and buy the second, or need the second and buy the first. The test is whether anyone other than you and your client ever opens the file. If a broker, a transaction coordinator or an auditor does, buy the platform. If nobody does, a signing account at a fraction of the price covers it, and the money is better spent elsewhere in the business.

There is also a middle case worth naming. Plenty of agents run dotloop or a brokerage platform for their listings and closings, and still need to send ordinary business paperwork that has nothing to do with a transaction: an independent contractor agreement for a showing assistant, a vendor agreement with a stager or photographer, a referral agreement with an out-of-state agent. Those do not belong in a loop, and burning a transaction on one is a poor trade when the free allowance is ten. A general purpose signing account handles that side for $12 a month.

If the review of your closing count says the platform is not earning its price, the switch is straightforward, and the order matters because the records are the part you cannot recreate.

1. Export the closed deals first. Download the completed documents and the activity log for every closed transaction before you cancel anything. A completed record inside a lapsed account is the one thing no vendor is obliged to keep for you.
2. Check what the forms cost you. If your association forms come through the platform, moving off it means sourcing them another way. For many agents this is the single reason to stay, and it is better to find that out before the renewal date than after.
3. Move the non-transaction paperwork now. Contractor agreements, vendor contracts and referral agreements can move immediately, because nothing about them needs a loop. Send those through a flat rate account and see whether the platform is still carrying its weight.
4. Time the cancellation to the renewal. Dotloop's monthly plan has no commitment, so a month-to-month subscriber can stop whenever. An annual subscriber should diary the renewal date rather than cancelling mid-term.
