How we grade them
| 2.2GPAOneSpan SignFair | 2.6GPAsignNowGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo prices are published; the pricing page lists only volume-based enterprise pricing with a contact button. With nothing on record, this sits in the middle. | CBusiness is $15 a month for the whole team, billed yearly ($30 monthly), so $5 a head for three. But it includes 100 invites a year and you'd send about 240. Extra invites have no published price, and Enterprise at $1.50 an invite comes to about $30 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | DA free trial is offered, but its length isn't stated, and there is no free plan. | CNo free plan, and the free trial lasts 7 days; the listing doesn't say it needs a card. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee too, but that isn't a trial. |
| Features | BIdentity verification, templates and bulk send, Smart Forms, white-labelling, an API with embedded signing, an audit trail and a notary option. Nothing on the page shows a gap in the core signing work. | BSigning order, reminders and unlimited templates on Basic; bulk send, signing links, payments and kiosk signing on Business; conditional fields, approvals, SMS and signer checks on Advanced. That covers the whole job across its plans. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record. An enterprise product with identity checks, forms and integrations to set up, sold on volume. | B4.47 from about 18,100 App Store ratings, below the top of this category but from a large number of ratings. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb only, with Salesforce, Microsoft Dynamics, HubSpot, SharePoint, Workday, Greenhouse, nCino and Laserfiche, plus an API. | BWeb, iPhone and Android, with Google Workspace, Gmail, ChatGPT and Claude. Salesforce, NetSuite, Dynamics 365 and the full API need Enterprise, and there's no desktop app, so it's a B. |
| Best for | enterprise signing with identity checks | one plan price shared by the whole team |

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.
