BoldSign
Low-cost e-signature app and API from Syncfusion
Which one is for you
Pick BoldSign if
- Fits if you send up to 25 documents a month and don't want to pay anything
- Works for small teams at $5 a head billed yearly, or nonprofits, who get Growth free
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you each send more than 50 documents a month on Growth, as unlimited needs Business at $15 a head
- Pricey if you bulk send often, as bulk send, SMS, WhatsApp and ID checks are charged on use
- Not for you if you need the API, which is a separate plan from $30 a month, then $0.75 an envelope
- Watch out: Premium shares 250 envelopes a month across all users and bills pay-as-you-go past that
- Watch out: trial accounts on public email domains get lower limits, and the free plan holds 2 templates
Pick Digio if
- Fits if you are a lender in India that already needs KYC and eSign together
- Works for firms that want one vendor for identity checks and signing
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a published price, since the site shows none
- Not for you if you sign outside India, as it is built around Indian regulation and Aadhaar
- Skip it if you want a stand-alone signing tool, since DigiSign is one product in a larger platform
- Watch out: no free plan or trial is described for DigiSign

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.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
