How we grade them
| 2.0GPADropbox SignFair | 2.4GPAQuickSignerFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D$75 a month for three on Standard, billed yearly ($25 a head, $30 monthly). That's this category's dearest tenth. To be fair, requests are unlimited with no overage fees, so a busy month never costs more. One person alone pays $15 on Essentials. | ABusiness is $5 a user a month, or $48 a year, with no cap on documents. That's under 60% of this category's cheapest quarter, so a small team signs as much as it likes for very little. Professional at $15 adds bulk send and SMS checks. |
| Free plan and trial | CA free plan for one sender and 3 signature requests a month. Fine for the odd lease, nowhere near 20 contracts a month. There's also a 30-day free trial of the paid plans. | CThe free plan is 5 documents a month, PDFs only, up to 3 signers and 5 MB files. Fine for the odd form, but a busy month runs past it. The paid plans have a 14-day trial. |
| Features | CUnlimited requests, templates and template links, field validation, signer attachments, reminders, and bulk send and branding on Standard. The gaps: Standard stops at 15 templates, and SMS authentication, SSO and Salesforce all need Premium, sold through sales. | CUnlimited documents, templates, signing order, reminders and certificate-sealed PDFs that Acrobat trusts. The gaps: Business stops at 10 templates, bulk send and SMS checks need Professional, and the listing names no signing links, forms or payments. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record, so this rests on the listing. It's a web app where you drag fields onto each document and build your templates, so there's a bit of setting up. | CNo store rating on record, and no phone app. It's a browser app where you place fields and save templates, simple enough, but there's still some setting up. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, but it sends from Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft Word, HubSpot and Slack, and there's an API, priced separately from these plans. No phone or desktop app is listed. | CWeb only, and its site lists no ready-made integrations. Other software connects through the REST API and webhooks, on Professional, at $0.30 a sign request after 50 free. |
| Best for | unlimited signature requests from a familiar name | cheap e-signing with no cap on documents |
