How we grade them
| 2.4GPAQuickSignerFair | 2.6GPAsignNowGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | ABusiness is $5 a user a month, or $48 a year, with no cap on documents. That's under 60% of this category's cheapest quarter, so a small team signs as much as it likes for very little. Professional at $15 adds bulk send and SMS checks. | 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 | CThe free plan is 5 documents a month, PDFs only, up to 3 signers and 5 MB files. Fine for the odd form, but a busy month runs past it. The paid plans have a 14-day trial. | 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 | CUnlimited documents, templates, signing order, reminders and certificate-sealed PDFs that Acrobat trusts. The gaps: Business stops at 10 templates, bulk send and SMS checks need Professional, and the listing names no signing links, forms or payments. | 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, and no phone app. It's a browser app where you place fields and save templates, simple enough, but there's still some setting up. | B4.47 from about 18,100 App Store ratings. Not the top of this category, but a big and mostly happy crowd for a signing app. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, and its site lists no ready-made integrations. Other software connects through the REST API and webhooks, on Professional, at $0.30 a sign request after 50 free. | 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 | cheap e-signing with no cap on documents | one low plan price shared by the whole team |

Who each one suits
QuickSigner
- Small businesses that want unlimited documents at a low per-user price
- Developers who want a pay-per-request e-signature API
- People who sign 5 or fewer PDFs a month, for free
signNow
- Small businesses with many people who each send only a few documents

Worth knowing
QuickSigner
- The free plan takes PDFs only and is capped at 5 documents a month, 3 signers and one document per sign request.
- API use needs the Professional plan plus $0.30 per sign request after a one-time 50 free; prices above 500 requests a month are quoted.
- Bulk send, teams, SMS verification and editing a sent request are Professional features; Business allows 10 templates.
- Its site lists no ready-made integrations with other apps; connecting it to other software means using the API and webhooks.
signNow
- Basic, Business and Advanced each include 100 signature invites a year; more invites are sold on top, at a price the page does not give.
- Salesforce, NetSuite and Microsoft Dynamics 365 integrations, SSO and the full API need Enterprise, billed per invite from $1.50.
- The trial lasts 7 days; the pricing page also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.
Key features
QuickSigner
- Certificate-sealed PDFs
- Signed PDFs use the PAdES standard with a certificate on the Adobe Approved Trust List, so Acrobat and Reader show them as valid and flag any later change.
- No document caps on paid plans
- Business and Professional allow unlimited documents a month, with limits instead on signers and files per sign request.
- Templates and signing order
- Save a document with fields and recipient roles as a template (10 on Business), set the signing order and send automatic reminders.
- eSignature API
- A REST API creates sign requests from documents or templates, embeds signing in your app and sends a webhook when signing is complete.
- Signer checks and bulk send
- Professional adds one-time codes sent to a signer's phone, editing a request after it is sent, bulk sending and teams.
- Security and audit trail
- ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified, with AES-256 encryption at rest on Google Cloud and an audit trail of signer IP addresses and timestamps.
signNow
- Unlimited users per plan
- Team members can be added to any plan for free; the plan's yearly allowance of signature invites is what limits use.
- Signing order and tracking
- Send to several recipients in a set order or all at once, with an audit trail, reminders and a dashboard of document status.
- Bulk send and signing links
- From Business, send one document to a list of recipients for their own copies, or share a link anyone can use to sign.
- Payments and form fields
- Business adds payment collection at signing, drop-down and radio fields, CSV pre-fill and exportable form responses.
- Mobile and in-person signing
- iOS and Android apps sign, send and track documents, and scan paper to sign it; Business adds a kiosk mode for signatures at a desk.
- Advanced signing flows
- The Advanced plan adds conditional and formula fields, signer attachments, approval steps, SMS delivery and signer authentication.
