| 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. | $10/month per sender billed annually (Light; $12/month billed monthly) · free tier: Free $0: 1 sender, 1 template, 3 documents per month, API included (3 free API documents/month), audit trail and tamper-proof documents; excludes template links, bulk send, custom branding, conditional field rules, data validation, request attachments, in-person signing and dedicated support |
| Pricing model | Subscription (with free tier, plus self-hosted licensing) | Subscription (per-sender) plus usage-based API pricing |
| 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. | Freelancers, solo professionals and small businesses with unpredictable document volume — especially HIPAA- or SOC 2-sensitive small operators in healthcare, finance or real estate — and developers who want cheap embedded signing with published per-document API rates. |
| 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 need complex conditional multi-stage approval workflows, deep native integration into a wider enterprise stack, QES-grade eIDAS signatures (unverified), or you are pricing a 20+ seat team where $12–15 per additional sender makes the $30 headline misleading. |

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.
