| Pricing | $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 | 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-sender) plus usage-based API pricing | Subscription (per seat, with per-document overages; optional document-based package) |
| Best for | 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. | 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 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. | 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.
