Which one is for you
Pick SignWell if
- Fits if three of you send lots of contracts and want one $30 monthly bill, billed yearly
- Works for developers, as every plan includes an API with 25 documents a month before per-document charges
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you sign on your phone a lot, as it's web only with no app
- Tight if you're staying free, at one sender, one template and 3 documents a month, and there's no trial of paid plans
- Watch out: Light caps you at 5 templates per sender and leaves out branding, conditional fields and in-person signing
- Pricey if the team grows, as each sender past three on Business adds $12 a month billed yearly ($15 monthly)
- Not for you if you want direct CRM links, as only Close, QuickBooks Online and Xero are named and the rest go through Zapier
Pick Youtrust (Yousign) if
- Fits if you sign under European rules and need identity checks tied to the signature
- Works for a small team that wants unlimited simple signatures at Plus
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 1 user and 2 requests a month
- Tight if you're on One, which caps you at 10 requests a month
- Pricey if you need advanced or qualified signatures, as qualified starts at €10 each and identity checks cost extra
- Watch out: the API is a separate product from about €106 a month, and the page now carries the Youtrust name
- Skip it if you want dollar prices, as the page shows euros excluding VAT

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.
