Signable vs SignRequest (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Signable if

• Fits if lots of people in your office send the odd contract, as users are unlimited
• Works for UK teams that want documents held in the UK

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you're one person, since the whole £40 a month plus VAT lands on you
• Tight if you send more than 300 envelopes a year, as each one over costs a fee
• Skip it if you need bulk send, teams or the API at a published price, as they need Business through sales
• Watch out: prices are in pounds, exclude VAT and are billed yearly, and SSO is Enterprise only
• Not for you if your signers are outside the UK and need text-message checks, or you want a phone app

Pick SignRequest if

• Fits if you send a few documents a month and want to stay free
• Works for a small team that needs Slack, Zapier or Drive connections

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free: 10 documents per user a month, 1 team and 5 templates
• Watch out: the API, bulk send and SMS verification are billed on top
• Watch out: unlimited documents fall under a fair-use policy, with a separate bundle above it
• Skip it if you want phone or desktop apps, as none are listed
• Pricey if you want unlimited templates and teams, as those are on Business at €15

Signable

• Prices are in pounds, exclude VAT and are billed yearly; the envelope allowance is a yearly total available upfront.
• Pay As You Go has no subscription and charges from £2.60 per envelope; going over a plan's allowance without a bundle adds a fee per envelope.
• The API, teams, bulk send and qualified signatures start at Business, which is sold through sales; SSO is Enterprise only.
• Two-factor checks for signers by text message work in the UK only.

SignRequest

• Prices are shown in euros; the pages read do not say whether the monthly figure is billed monthly or yearly.
• Unlimited documents fall under a fair use policy; volume above twice the average customer needs a separately sold document bundle.
• API access, bulk send and text message verification carry additional fees.
• The Professional plan covers one team of at most 5 users and 5 templates; unlimited teams and templates need Business.

Signable

Unlimited users

Plans charge by envelopes, not seats, so a whole organization can be added at no extra cost, with user roles and teams to split it up.

AES and QES signatures

Advanced electronic signatures and an eSeal on every plan; qualified electronic signatures, for documents that need verified identity, from Business.

Templates, reminders and bulk send

Reusable templates with pre-filled fields and field tags, automatic reminders and expiry, signing order, and bulk send from Business.

AI-assisted fields

Suggests where signature fields and other inputs belong in a document before it is sent.

API and embedded signing

The Signable API, from Business, lets other software send envelopes and embed the sending and signing pages inside its own app.

UK hosting and compliance

Data is hosted in the UK on AWS; Signable is ISO 27001 and Cyber Essentials certified and follows eIDAS, ESIGN and UETA.

SignRequest

Fields and signing order

Upload a PDF, Word or Excel file, add signature, text, date and checkbox fields, and set the order in which signers receive it.

Audit trail and seal

Each signed document carries a log with signer IP addresses, email addresses and timestamps, and a seal that breaks if the PDF is changed.

Templates and reminders

Recurring documents can be saved with their signing order and messages, and automatic or manual reminders go to people who have not signed.

Teams and branding

Team accounts share documents and templates. Branding covers logo, colors, font, subject line and a landing page shown after signing.

Public signing link

A template can be exposed as a shareable link, so website visitors can sign a document based on it.

Text message verification

A one-time password sent by text message can be required before a contact signs. This carries additional fees.
