| 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 $19 per seat/month billed annually (Starter) · free tier: Free $0 — plan card claims 60 docs free per year; the comparison table on the same page states 5 legally-binding eSignatures, 5 documents sent per month and up to 5 templates (unresolved vendor contradiction). 14-day free trial, not charged. |
| Pricing model | Subscription (per-user tiers) plus usage-based API and pay-as-you-go add-ons | Subscription (per seat, with per-document overages; optional document-based package) |
| 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. | Sales or revenue teams of roughly 5–50 seats on the Business plan that send quotes and proposals rather than bare signature requests, already run HubSpot, Salesforce or Pipedrive, and have an admin who will own the vendor relationship and diary the 30-day renewal notice. |
| 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 want a cheap high-volume pure e-signature tool, are an API-first or developer-led buyer, need fast human support on live deals, cannot absorb per-document overages or a non-refundable annual term, or are mandated to EU data residency below Enterprise. |

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.
