Which one is for you

Pick DocHub if

  • Fits if you mostly edit PDFs and sign now and then, a few times a month
  • Works for people who want signing and PDF editing in the same browser tab

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you stay free: 3 uses a month, shared by editing, signing and sending
  • Skip it if you send sign requests regularly, as unlimited requests need Pro
  • Watch out: the listing couldn't confirm paid prices, and the page shows different currencies on different reads
  • Watch out: the free trial isn't offered in some regions, and the Site License has no published price

Pick signNow if

  • Fits if several people send a few documents each and you'd rather not pay per seat
  • Works for signing at a front desk, with kiosk mode on Business

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you send more than about 8 documents a month, as plans include 100 invites a year
  • Watch out: extra invites are sold on top at a price the pricing page doesn't give
  • Not for you if you need Salesforce, NetSuite, Dynamics 365, SSO or the full API, which all mean Enterprise
  • Skip it if you want a long look first, as the trial is only 7 days
  • Pricey if you want branding, SMS sending or signer checks, which need Advanced at $30 a month billed yearly, or $50 monthly

How we grade them

2.2GPADocHubFair2.6GPAsignNowGood
Value for money
CThe listing couldn't confirm prices: the page loads them with JavaScript and they showed in different currencies and billing bases on different reads. No price is on record, so this sits in the middle.
CBusiness is $15 a month for the whole team, billed yearly ($30 monthly), so $5 a head for three. But it includes 100 invites a year and you'd send about 240. Extra invites have no published price, and Enterprise at $1.50 an invite comes to about $30 a month.
Free plan and trial
CA free plan with editing, self-signing, sign requests and templates, but all of it shares 3 uses a month. A single working week would use that up.
CNo free plan, and the free trial lasts 7 days; the listing doesn't say it needs a card. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee too, but that isn't a trial.
Features
CPDF editing, self-signing, sign requests, envelopes, templates, AI tools, and bulk send and in-person signing. Gaps: unlimited sign requests, bulk send and in-person signing need Pro, and the listing records no API.
BSigning order, reminders and unlimited templates on Basic; bulk send, signing links, payments and kiosk signing on Business; conditional fields, approvals, SMS and signer checks on Advanced. That covers the whole job across its plans.
Ease of use
CNo store rating on record. It runs in a browser with apps on iOS and Android, and you build your own templates and folders.
B4.47 from about 18,100 App Store ratings, below the top of this category but from a large number of ratings.
Platforms and integrations
BWeb plus iOS and Android apps. No desktop app and no integrations or API are listed.
BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Google Workspace, Gmail, ChatGPT and Claude. Salesforce, NetSuite, Dynamics 365 and the full API need Enterprise, and there's no desktop app, so it's a B.

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.
