Which one is for you

- Works for a single user who wants an audit log on each document
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 1 document a month after the trial
- Pricey if you send often, since unlimited requests start at $50 a user billed monthly
- Skip it if you want phone or desktop apps, as none are listed
- Watch out: Personal caps you at 5 requests and 1 template a month
- Watch out: only the 7-day trial gives unlimited sending without paying
Pick signNow if
- Fits if several people send a few documents each and you'd rather not pay per seat
- Works for signing at a front desk, with kiosk mode on Business
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you send more than about 8 documents a month, as plans include 100 invites a year
- Watch out: extra invites are sold on top at a price the pricing page doesn't give
- Not for you if you need Salesforce, NetSuite, Dynamics 365, SSO or the full API, which all mean Enterprise
- Skip it if you want a long look first, as the trial is only 7 days
- Pricey if you want branding, SMS sending or signer checks, which need Advanced at $30 a month billed yearly, or $50 monthly
How we grade them
| 2.0GPASignaturelyFair | 2.6GPAsignNowGood | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D$25 a month for 5 signature requests a month, and unlimited sending only on Business at $50 a user. That's well above the category's middle of $15. | 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 | CA free account after the 7-day trial allows 1 document a month. It's a cap you'll reach in the first week. | 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 | CSignature requests, templates, an audit trail, reminders, team management, branding and an API. Gaps: Personal gets 1 template, and team and branding features need Business. | 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. A web app where you build your own templates. | 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 Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and Box storage connections and an API. No phone or desktop app is listed. | 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 | simple signing in a browser, with a very small free plan | one plan price shared by the whole team |

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.
