Which one is for you
Pick Notarize if
- Fits if you need one document notarised without leaving home
- Works for the odd eSign when you do not want a subscription
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you notarise often, since each extra seal or witness is $15 and each extra signer $10
- Not for you if you are outside the United States, as the pages list US states only
- Watch out: business pricing is on Proof's site, and it is not published
- Skip it if you want templates, tracking or integrations, because none are listed
Pick Signeasy if
- Fits if most of your signing happens on a phone or tablet
- Works for teams that are in Gmail or Outlook all day
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you're a team, as a seat is $20 a month even billed yearly
- Tight if you're on Personal, which sends only 5 contracts a month
- Skip it if you need bulk send, SSO, HIPAA or 21 CFR Part 11 without talking to sales
- Watch out: SMS sending is a paid add-on, and the API is priced per document on top of the plans
- Watch out: the 100-day money-back guarantee covers yearly plans only, and there's no desktop app
How we grade them
| 1.6GPANotarizeWeak | 2.6GPASigneasyGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo subscription: $25 for a first notarization and $4 a plain eSign. Heavy use passes the $20 monthly middle quickly, and occasional use costs less. | C$60 a month for three on Business, billed yearly ($20 a seat, $30 monthly). That's past this category's dearer quarter, if short of the dearest tenth. Personal at $10 is one user and only 5 sends a month, so a team has to start at Business. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan or trial is listed on its pages or in the listing, so nothing is free. | CNo free plan, but a 14-day free trial, and the listing doesn't say it needs a card. The 100-day money-back guarantee covers yearly plans only, and it isn't a trial. |
| Features | COnline notarization, on-demand witnesses and eSign transactions. It does that job fully, but it is a smaller job than a signing platform. | CUnlimited sends, shared templates, signing links, reminders, AI key terms and summaries, in-person and offline signing, and approvals on Business Pro. The gaps: bulk send, SSO and HIPAA are sold only through sales, and sending by SMS is a paid add-on. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record, and notarization needs ID checks and a live session. | A4.9 from about 34,000 App Store ratings, among the highest in this category. Signing on your phone is the heart of it. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with no integrations listed on its pages. | BWeb, iPhone, iPad and Android, with Gmail, Google Docs and Sheets, Outlook, Teams, SharePoint and HubSpot. The API costs extra per document, and there's no desktop app, so it's a B. |
| Best for | online notarization by the document | signing contracts from your phone |

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.
