eSignGlobal vs signNow (2026): which should you pick?

Pick eSignGlobal if

• Fits if you sign with counterparties in Singapore, Hong Kong or the EU
• Works for teams that want unlimited seats instead of per-user pricing

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want to see prices for Professional or Advanced, which are quoted by sales
• Not for you if you need the API, bulk sending or government ID checks on the cheapest plan
• Tight if you rely on Basic's 100 documents, since the page does not say if that is per month or per year
• Watch out: the site says the product is now eSign.AI, so names and plans may keep moving

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
