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 WiseStamp if
- Fits if you want one signature on personal Gmail or Outlook.com and don't mind a WiseStamp line under it
- Works for small teams on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 that want new hires' signatures installed for them
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, as the free signature only works on personal webmail and carries WiseStamp branding
- Pricey if you want banner campaigns and click tracking, which start on Grow at $49 a month plus $1 a person
- Pricey if you need signatures on phones with no setup: server-side signatures need Platform at $189 a month plus seats
- Watch out: Basic, Grow and Platform have a 3-seat minimum, and the prices shown are billed yearly
- Watch out: the pricing page's FAQ says there's no free version, while the help centre describes the Free plan in detail
How we grade them
| 1.6GPAhtmlsigWeak | 2.4GPAWiseStampFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C$80 a year for 3 signatures; a team of five on Plus pays $150 a year, about $2.50 a head a month, against a category middle of $4.50. | CPro+ is $9 a month billed yearly for one person, plus $2 for each added member, so a team of five pays $17, about $3.40 a head. That's above this category's middle of $2.33 and under the dearer quarter at $6. Banners start on Grow at $49 plus $1 a person. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan and no trial; the FAQ says free signatures were dropped to fight spam. | CFree gives one person one signature on the standard template, with a WiseStamp line under it, and only on personal webmail like Gmail, not a company domain. Company plans get a 14-day trial with no card. |
| Features | CAn editor, a team dashboard, click analytics, generators, and send and duplicate, but no directory sync in the listing and no generators on Starter. | BA signature studio, Google Workspace and Entra sync with auto-install, extension, add-in or server-side deployment, banners with click tracking, surveys and disclaimer rules. Nothing in the job is missing, but it's spread over Basic, Grow and Platform. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. You build the signature yourself and, for a team, connect a directory or collect the staff before it does anything. | CNo app store rating on record. You build the signature in the studio and install it through the Chrome extension, Outlook add-in or desktop app, and company plans mean connecting Google Workspace or Microsoft Entra first. |
| Platforms and integrations | CA web app only; the listing names no integrations. | BWeb, a desktop app for Mac and Windows and a Chrome extension, with Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Exchange, HubSpot, Salesforce and others. No phone app: signatures reach phones with no setup only server-side, on Platform. |
| Best for | HTML email signatures with click stats for a team | signatures for one person or a small company |

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.
