  • Not for you if you are an individual, as it is sold to companies with a minimum of 10 users
  • Watch out: no prices are published and the standard contract term is 1 year
  • Skip it if you want a free plan or a trial, as none is listed
  • Tight if you are outside Japan and want signature capture, which is Japan only
  • Watch out: scans include a human data-entry step, so it is not fully automatic

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.
