Pick Authentisign if
- Fits if you already pay for Lone Wolf Transactions
- Works for real estate agents who need signing that matches their forms
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a price before talking to anyone, because none is published
- Not for you if you are outside real estate, as the site frames it for that market
- Too light for a general signing need, since it ties into Lone Wolf
- Watch out: agents outside the Transactions editions are sent to a separate sign-up path
Pick Dropbox Sign if
- Fits if your contracts already live in Dropbox
- Works for teams that send many agreements and don't want to count envelopes
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're three or more, at $25 a head even billed yearly
- Tight if you lean on templates, as Essentials stops at 5 and Standard at 15
- Not for you if you have more than 5 senders, as that means Premium on a quote
- Watch out: SSO, SMS authentication, Salesforce and data residency are Premium only, and the API is priced separately
- Tight if you stay free, at 3 signature requests a month, and there's no phone or desktop app listed
How we grade them
| 1.6GPAAuthentisignWeak | 2.0GPADropbox SignFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published on the pages read, so there is nothing to put against the category's $10 to $29 spread. | D$75 a month for three on Standard, billed yearly ($25 a head, $30 monthly). That's this category's dearest tenth. Requests are unlimited with no overage fees, so a busy month costs the same. One person alone pays $15 on Essentials. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial on record anywhere on its pages. | CA free plan for one sender and 3 signature requests a month. Fine for the odd lease, nowhere near 20 contracts a month. There's also a 30-day free trial of the paid plans. |
| Features | CAutomatic field placement, tracking, certificate and team permissions. The listing could not confirm plan limits. | CUnlimited requests, templates and template links, field validation, signer attachments, reminders, and bulk send and branding on Standard. The gaps: Standard stops at 15 templates, and SMS authentication, SSO and Salesforce all need Premium, sold through sales. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. It is a web product tied to Lone Wolf accounts. | CNo store rating on record, so this rests on the listing. It's a web app where you drag fields onto each document and build your templates, so there's a bit of setting up. |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
