Zoho Sign

Which one is for you
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
Pick Zoho Sign if
- Fits if you already run your business on Zoho apps
- Works for teams that need certificate-based signatures and send up to 25 documents each a month at $10 a head
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you each send more than 25 a month, as unlimited envelopes start at Professional, $16 a head billed yearly
- Pricey if you lean on SMS, ID checks, timestamping, bulk send or integrations, as they use credits bought on top below Enterprise
- Not for you if you want your own domain and white label with fewer than 10 users
- Watch out: bulk send, conditional fields and payments wait for Enterprise at $22 a user, and the developer API costs $0.50 an envelope
How we grade them
| 1.6GPADigioWeak | 3.0GPAZoho SignVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published, so it sits in the middle by default; it is sold through the sales team. | B$30 a month for three on Standard, billed yearly ($10 a head, $12 monthly), with 25 envelopes each a month, so 20 between you fits. That's inside this category's cheapest quarter. Watch the credits: SMS, ID checks and integrations use them, bought on top. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan or trial on its pages anywhere on its pages. | CThe free plan is one user and 5 envelopes a month, with workflows, reminders, the audit trail and the apps. That covers the odd document, not 20 a month. A 14-day trial with no card covers the Enterprise features. |
| Features | CAadhaar eSign, certificate-based signing, multi-party workflows and eStamps. It is one product in a wider identity platform, and its pages do not cover US or EU standards. | BSigning order, approvals, witnesses, delegated signing, AI field detection and signer checks from Standard, then bulk send, SignForms and payments on Enterprise. It signs with digital certificates too, including your own USB token. It covers the whole job. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. It is configured as a signing gateway and sold by sales. | B4.8 from about 870 App Store ratings, which is short of the 1,000 ratings an A needs. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only on the pages read, with no integrations listed. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, with Zoho WorkDrive, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box and WhatsApp Business, plus an API. |
| Best for | Indian lenders who need Aadhaar eSign inside KYC | per-user signing with digital certificates |

More comparisons
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.
