Best for editing and signing PDFs in a browser
DocHub edits PDF text, signs documents and sends sign requests from a browser, with iOS and Android apps. The free plan gives you 3 uses a month shared across everything, and we couldn't pin down its paid prices because they change between page loads. Plan on paying if you sign more than a few things a month.
Who DocHub is for
- Fits if you mostly edit PDFs and sign now and then, a few times a month
- Works for people who want signing and PDF editing in the same browser tab
Who DocHub is not for
- Tight if you stay free: 3 uses a month, shared by editing, signing and sending
- Skip it if you send sign requests regularly, as unlimited requests need Pro
- Watch out: the listing couldn't confirm paid prices, and the page shows different currencies on different reads
- Watch out: the free trial isn't offered in some regions, and the Site License has no published price
Why DocHub gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyThe listing couldn't confirm prices: the page loads them with JavaScript and they showed in different currencies and billing bases on different reads. No price is on record, so this sits in the middle.
- CFree plan and trialA free plan with editing, self-signing, sign requests and templates, but all of it shares 3 uses a month. A single working week would use that up.
- CFeaturesPDF editing, self-signing, sign requests, envelopes, templates, AI tools, and bulk send and in-person signing. Gaps: unlimited sign requests, bulk send and in-person signing need Pro, and the listing records no API.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. It runs in a browser with apps on iOS and Android, and you build your own templates and folders.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb plus iOS and Android apps. No desktop app and no integrations or API are listed.

Keep DocHub, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of DocHub you could make: documents and templates. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 17 of the 37 other e-signature and proposal tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Documents and templates: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Editing the text inside a PDF without breaking its layout.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on and HIPAA.
What this rests on. DocHub’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.
