Which one is for you
Pick Leegality if
- Fits if you collect Aadhaar-based signatures from customers in India
- Makes sense if you also need stamp paper on the same agreement
Look elsewhere if
- Not for you if you sign under US or EU rules, since it is built around Indian law and Aadhaar
- Tight if you want more than 1 user and 1 workflow, as that is all Basic allows
- Pricey if you need stamping, billed on top at INR 45 per stamp paper plus duty and INR 500 per order
- Watch out: minimum purchases are 100 eSign credits and 30 stamp papers
- Watch out: prices are in rupees only, and larger plans are quoted after a demo
Pick Zoho Sign if
- Fits if you already run your business on Zoho apps
- Works for teams that need certificate-based signatures and send up to 25 documents each a month at $10 a head
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you each send more than 25 a month, as unlimited envelopes start at Professional, $16 a head billed yearly
- Pricey if you lean on SMS, ID checks, timestamping, bulk send or integrations, as they use credits bought on top below Enterprise
- Not for you if you want your own domain and white label with fewer than 10 users
- Watch out: bulk send, conditional fields and payments wait for Enterprise at $22 a user, and the developer API costs $0.50 an envelope
How we grade them

|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CINR 15 per signatory (INR 25 for Aadhaar eSign) with a 100-credit minimum, so about INR 1,500 to start; it prices per signature, so it lands in the middle of the field. | B$30 a month for three on Standard, billed yearly ($10 a head, $12 monthly), with 25 envelopes each a month, so 20 between you fits. That's inside this category's cheapest quarter. Watch the credits: SMS, ID checks and integrations use them, bought on top. |

More comparisons
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.
