| Pricing | USD $5/month/user (Growth, annual billing; $15/month/user on monthly billing) · free tier: Essential plan at $0/month: 25 envelopes/month, 2 templates, no additional users, includes audit trail, signer authentication, automated reminders and custom branding; plus a 30-day trial (25 documents with a business email, only 5 with public domains such as Gmail or Outlook) and a free full-access API sandbox with watermarked test documents deleted after 14 days | USD $15/mo (Essentials, 1 user; $180 billed yearly) · free tier: Free plan exists (document limits not published on pricing page); 30-day free trial of paid features; free API test mode |
| Pricing model | Subscription (per-user tiers) plus usage-based API and pay-as-you-go add-ons | Subscription |
| Best for | Small and mid-sized teams sending high document volumes who are leaving DocuSign or Adobe on cost grounds and need standard signing workflows, plus developers embedding signing via the transparent $0.75/envelope API and non-profits who get Growth free. | Small teams of 2–5 senders with steady, low-complexity signing volume who want predictable per-seat cost and no envelope counting — especially existing Dropbox, Google Drive, HubSpot or Microsoft 365 users, plus developers wanting an embedded signing API with a free test tier. |
| Avoid if | You need deep out-of-the-box integration into an existing stack, complex automation, enterprise-grade document management, guaranteed SMS coverage in a specific country, or production API access on a low-cost plan. | You need SSO, SMS signer authentication, data residency or multi-team governance on a mid-tier budget, run more than 15 templates, are a solo user about to add a second sender, or need a firm year-two budget today given promotional headline pricing and unpriced Premium. |

A higher TOP SCORE means more of the evidence favours that platform on this methodology — it is not a recommendation, and it does not account for your specific requirements. Advertisers are never declared the winner of a comparison.
