How we grade them
| 2.6GPADocusignGood | 2.2GPASignableFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D$75 a month for three on Standard, paying the year upfront ($25 a head, or $30 on the annual plan billed monthly). That's this category's dearest tenth, for 100 envelopes each a year, so your 240 fit with a little to spare. Web forms, payments and bulk send need Business Pro at $40. | C£40 a month billed yearly, plus VAT, for unlimited users and 300 envelopes a year. Split five ways, that's around this category's middle per head once pounds become dollars. One person alone pays the full £40, and going over the allowance costs a fee per envelope. |
| Free plan and trial | CNo free plan, but a 30-day free trial, and the listing doesn't say it needs a card. After that even Personal is one user and 5 envelopes a month. | CNo free plan, but a 14-day free trial with no card needed. Pay As You Go skips the subscription, from £2.60 an envelope, which suits the odd document but isn't free. |
| Features | BTemplates, signing order, an audit trail, reminders and AI summaries for signers, then web forms, payment collection and bulk send on Business Pro. It covers the whole job. SSO, HIPAA and Salesforce wait for the custom Enhanced plans, which a small team won't miss. | CUnlimited users and templates, advanced signatures, an eSeal, two-factor checks for signers, reminders, signing order and AI field placement. The gaps the listing names: bulk send, teams, the API and qualified signatures start on Business, sold through sales. |
| Ease of use | A4.9 from about 830,000 App Store ratings, the biggest following in this category by miles. Signers don't need an account either, which saves your clients a step. | CNo store rating on record, and no phone app. It's a web app where you set up templates, users and roles before it runs smoothly. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Dropbox and Box on every plan, and 1,000+ integrations plus the API from Business Pro. There's no desktop app, so it stops at a B. | BWeb only, but it connects to Google Drive, Google Docs, Dropbox, HubSpot, Slack, Zapier and Make. No phone or desktop app is listed, and text-message checks for signers work in the UK only. |
| Best for | signing with the name every client knows | UK teams with many senders and few envelopes |
