Best for real estate agents who sign deals inside a transaction tool
Dotloop is a real estate transaction tool with e-signatures built in, and the free plan covers 10 transactions. Premium is $34.99 a month, Teams and Business+ are quoted, and it is no use if you only want to sign general documents.
Who Dotloop is for
- Fits if you are an agent closing under 10 deals while you test it
- Works for brokerages that want forms, signing and compliance in one place
Who Dotloop is not for
- Not for you if you want a general signing tool, as it is built around real estate transactions
- Tight if you close more than 10 transactions, because that is where the free plan stops
- Pricey if you need Premium at $34.99 a month for unlimited transactions
- Watch out: the pricing page also shows "Buy for $29 User/Month" in its header, which conflicts with $34.99
- Watch out: Teams and Business+ have no published price and start with a discovery call

Keep Dotloop, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Dotloop you would be making fax numbers connected to the phone network. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $419.88 a year.
What you could make
- Templates, tasks and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Fax numbers connected to the phone network.
- 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.
What this rests on. Dotloop’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.
What is Dotloop?
Dotloop is transaction management software for real estate agents, teams and brokerages. Each deal is a loop that holds documents, tasks, participants and e-signatures, with forms supplied through association and MLS feeds. Agents can start free with a limited number of loops, and teams and brokerages get quoted plans.
Worth knowing
- The free plan stops at 10 transactions.
- The pricing page also shows "Buy for $29 User/Month" in its header, which conflicts with the $34.99 on the Premium card.
- Teams and Business+ have no published price and are quoted after a discovery call.
- It is built for real estate; general-purpose signing needs are served better by other tools.
Key features
