Which one is for you
Pick htmlsig if
- Fits if you are a small team that wants click stats on its signatures
- Works for a small shop that needs 3 to 10 signatures built
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there is none
- Tight if you have more than 3 people, since Starter caps at 3 signatures and has no generators
- Skip it if you want Google or Microsoft directory sync, as none is listed
- Pricey if you pay monthly, as Starter is $8 a month against $80 for a year
Pick Newoldstamp if
- Fits if you need a handful of branded signatures and are happy to pay for a year up front
- Works for teams on Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 or Exchange that schedule banners by department
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you want to pay monthly, as the pricing page only shows yearly prices
- Tight if you're staying free, because you get simple templates and Newoldstamp branding on the signature
- Watch out: during the 7-day trial you can build signatures but not use them until you pay
- Watch out: signatures stop working when the subscription expires or the account is deleted
- Watch out: the slider stops at 200 signatures, and beyond that the price is a quote from sales

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.
