Which one is for you
Pick Exclaimer if
- Fits if your IT team runs Microsoft 365, Exchange or Google Workspace and wants signatures on every device
- Works for companies that need a legal disclaimer on every outgoing email
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you're one person or a tiny team, as licensing has a 10-user minimum
- Tight if you're on Starter, which allows one signature template for the whole company
- Pricey if you want engagement reports, HubSpot or Salesforce targeting or HR sync, which are Pro at $1.75 a user
- Skip it if you want a free plan, because there's only the 14-day trial
- Watch out: monthly billing is offered, but the pricing page only shows the yearly prices
Pick Rocketseed if
- Fits if you have 50 to 200 staff and want signatures enforced on the server
- Works for sales teams that want an alert when a recipient clicks a banner
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you're under 50 people, as both the price table and the trial start at 50 employees
- Watch out: a one-time setup fee comes on top, and the pricing page doesn't give the amount
- Pricey if you pay monthly: $73 a month at 50 employees comes to $876 a year, against $705 billed yearly
- Watch out: cancelling is subject to the contract's cancellation period
- Watch out: above 200 employees, the price is a custom quote

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.
