# Dropbox Sign

> E-signature app from Dropbox with unlimited requests on paid plans

Dropbox Sign, the product once called HelloSign, sends documents out for e-signature and keeps a tamper-proof audit trail of each request. Paid plans put no cap on the number of signature requests, and templates, reminders and signer fields come with every one. It is sold on its own, and Dropbox storage plans include a few requests a month.

## Ways to pay less

- **Lower price with yearly billing** (Annual discount): Essentials is $15 a month billed yearly ($180) against $20 monthly, and Standard $25 per user a month yearly against $30 monthly. Source: https://sign.dropbox.com/products/dropbox-sign/pricing

## Key features

- **Unlimited signature requests:** Paid plans charge per user, with no monthly cap on the number of documents sent for signature and no overage fees.
- **Templates and template links:** Save a prepared document as a template, or turn it into a link to share by email or on a website. Essentials allows 5 templates, Standard 15.
- **Signer fields with validation:** Drag on signature blocks, text fields, checkboxes and dates, and add rules that check what signers type as they go.
- **Audit trail and reminders:** Every request carries a time-stamped audit trail, and automatic email reminders chase signers who have not finished.
- **Team admin and bulk send:** Standard adds an admin console with team roles, company branding, reporting and bulk send to a list of recipients.
- **Integrations:** Send from Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft Word, HubSpot and Slack; the Salesforce integration needs Premium.

## Good for

- Freelancers and small teams who send many agreements and want no per-envelope limit
- Dropbox users who keep their contracts in Dropbox already
- Anyone who signs only now and then: 3 requests a month are free

## Worth knowing

- Standard covers 2 to 5 users; more than five senders means the Premium plan, priced by quote.
- SSO, SMS authentication, the Salesforce integration and data residency are Premium only.
- Dropbox storage plans include unlimited self-signing but only 3 signature requests a month.
- The Dropbox Sign API is priced separately from these plans.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 17, 2026. Dropbox Sign, the old HelloSign, puts no cap on signature requests on its paid plans, and that's its big selling point. But three people on Standard pay $75 a month billed yearly, and even then you get 15 templates and no SMS checks on signers.

- **Value for money: D.** $75 a month for three on Standard, billed yearly ($25 a head, $30 monthly). That's this category's dearest tenth. To be fair, requests are unlimited with no overage fees, so a busy month never costs more. One person alone pays $15 on Essentials.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A free plan for one sender and 3 signature requests a month. Fine for the odd lease, nowhere near 20 contracts a month. There's also a 30-day free trial of the paid plans.
- **Features: C.** Unlimited requests, templates and template links, field validation, signer attachments, reminders, and bulk send and branding on Standard. The gaps: Standard stops at 15 templates, and SMS authentication, SSO and Salesforce all need Premium, sold through sales.
- **Ease of use: C.** No store rating on record, so this rests on the listing. It's a web app where you drag fields onto each document and build your templates, so there's a bit of setting up.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web only, but it sends from Dropbox, Google Drive, Microsoft Word, HubSpot and Slack, and there's an API, priced separately from these plans. No phone or desktop app is listed.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Your call.** You could make the core of Dropbox Sign for yourself: documents and templates. What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $180 a year.

- You could make: Documents and templates: an app builder makes these well.
- You could make: It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Dropbox, Google Drive and Microsoft Word among them, and has an API.
- You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: roles and permissions.
