| Pricing | 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. | 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 seat, with per-document overages; optional document-based package) | Subscription |
| Best for | 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. | 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 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. | 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.
