How we grade them
| 2.4GPASign.PlusFair | 3.0GPAZoho SignVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CPersonal is $9.99 a month billed yearly ($14.99 monthly), at this category's cheaper quarter, but it's one user and 10 requests a month. A team needs Professional at $19.99 a user, past the dearer quarter, and qualified signatures are $5 a recipient on top. | 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 is easy. That's inside this category's cheapest quarter. Watch the credits: SMS, ID checks and integrations use them, bought on top. |
| Free plan and trial | CThe free plan lets you sign your own documents, but it's 3 signature requests in total, not per month, and one template. The 14-day trial needs a card or PayPal and turns into a paid plan unless you cancel. | CThe free plan is one user and 5 envelopes a month, with workflows, reminders, the audit trail and the apps. Good for the odd document, not 20 a month. A 14-day trial with no card covers the Enterprise features. |
| Features | BTemplates with conditional steps, bulk send, in-person signing, public forms, SMS and WhatsApp sends, ID checks and qualified signatures. It covers the whole job across its plans, though Zapier and branding start on Business. | BSigning order, approvals, witnesses, delegated signing, AI field detection and signer checks from Standard, then bulk send, SignForms and payments on Enterprise. It signs with digital certificates too, including your own USB token. It covers the whole job. |
| Ease of use | CThere are iPhone and Android apps, but no store rating on record. It's a web app where you build templates and workflows before it pays off. | B4.8 from about 870 App Store ratings. Very good, but short of the 1,000 ratings we need for an A. |
| Platforms and integrations | BWeb, iPhone and Android, sending from Google Docs, Gmail and Word and pulling files from Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox and Box. Zapier is on Business, the API is sold separately, and there's no desktop app. | AWeb, Mac, Windows, iPhone and Android, the widest spread in this category, with Zoho WorkDrive, Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox, Box and WhatsApp Business, plus an API. |
