- **E-signatures and audit trail:** Documents are signed remotely or in person from a phone or computer, with a record of every action in the transaction.
- **Templates and clauses:** Reusable document templates, task templates and a clause manager speed up repeat deals.

## Good for

- Individual agents who close a handful of deals at a time
- Brokerages that need compliance review across offices
- Real estate teams that want e-signatures inside the transaction file

## 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.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.2 out of 4**, graded Nov 13, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: C.** Premium is $34.99 a month for agents, above the dearer-quarter line of $29 for e-signature tools but nowhere near the dearest tenth at $199.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Free covers up to 10 transactions with forms, e-signing and storage. Once you pass that number, you pay.
- **Features: C.** Loops, MLS and association forms, clauses, audit trail and brokerage compliance tools. The listing says it is built for real estate, not general signing.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record. You set up loops and forms for each deal.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, iPhone and Android apps, plus 75+ real estate platform connections.

## Keep it, 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.

- You could make: Templates, tasks and reports: an app builder makes these well.
- You could not: Fax numbers connected to the phone network.
- You could not: Editing the text inside a PDF without breaking its layout.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
