| Pricing | $25 per month (Individual, $300 billed yearly) · free tier: Free forever plan: 5 documents per month, up to 10 recipients per document, no credit card required. Self-hosted Community Edition is also free but scoped to testing/evaluation/POCs. | US$22 per user/month, billed yearly (Professional) · free tier: 30-day free trial, no credit card required; at trial end no new transactions can be created but existing ones can be completed, and data is kept 120 days |
| Pricing model | Subscription (with free tier, plus self-hosted licensing) | Subscription |
| Best for | Engineering-led SaaS companies embedding signing into their own product, high-volume senders penalised by per-envelope pricing, and organisations with hard data-residency or data-ownership requirements that want to self-host a signing stack they can read. | Regulated mid-market and enterprise organisations — banks, insurers, lenders, healthcare and government agencies — that need FedRAMP/NIAP-grade compliance, in-country data residency, strong signer identity proofing, a defensible unified audit trail and an API to embed signing in their own portal, and that already have a document archive to receive completed files. |
| Avoid if | You need a substantial independent review corpus before purchase, a published enterprise or self-hosted production price, guaranteed support response times at entry tiers, confirmed eIDAS Qualified Electronic Signatures, or the unshipped Template Store and built-in payment collection. | You are a solo user or micro-business wanting a free or monthly plan, need signed documents retained in-platform beyond 120 days, want API access, SSO or white labelling without an Enterprise contract, require budget certainty without a sales cycle, or expect a modern consumer-grade UI with in-platform document merging and page editing. |

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.
