Low-cost e-signature app and API from Syncfusion
BoldSign report card
Very good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 17, 2026
Best for cheap e-signatures with a generous free plan
BoldSign is the bargain of this category. The free plan gives one person 25 envelopes a month, and three people on Growth pay $15 a month billed yearly for 50 envelopes each. The trade-offs: SMS, bulk send and ID checks are add-ons charged on use, and there's no store rating on record yet.
Who BoldSign is for
- Great if you send up to 25 documents a month and don't want to pay anything
- Good for small teams on a budget, at $5 a head billed yearly
- A treat if you're a nonprofit, as the Growth plan is free for you
Who BoldSign is not for
- Tight if you each send more than 50 documents a month, as unlimited needs Business
- Pricey if you bulk send often, as bulk send and SMS are charged on use
- Not for you if you need the API, which is a separate plan from $30 a month
Why BoldSign gets a 3.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- AValue for money$15 a month for three on Growth, billed yearly ($5 a head, $15 a head monthly), with 50 envelopes each a month and 10 templates. That's under 60% of this category's cheapest quarter. Unlimited envelopes on Business is $15 a head.
- BFree plan and trialThe free Essential plan gives one user 25 envelopes a month, 2 templates, signer authentication, reminders, branding and the apps. One person could really live on that. Paid plans have a 30-day trial too.
- BFeaturesSigner authentication on every plan, templates, in-person signing and team sharing on Growth, then SSO, AI field detection and HubSpot on Business. Bulk send, SMS, WhatsApp and ID checks cost extra on use, but they're there. It covers the whole job.
- CEase of useThere's an iPhone app but no store rating on record yet. It's a web app where you upload a contract, place fields and send, with templates to set up first.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android, with Salesforce, HubSpot, Zapier, Xero and Power Automate, plus an API on its own plan from $30 a month. No desktop app, so it's a B.

Keep BoldSign, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of BoldSign you could make: documents and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 5 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 12 of the 13 other e-signature and proposal tools we grade. It costs $60 a year.
What you could make
- Documents and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce, HubSpot and Zapier among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. BoldSign’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
