| Pricing | 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 | 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 | Subscription |
| Best for | 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. | 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 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. | 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.
