Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.2
GPA, above 38 of the 78 other e-signature and proposal tools we grade
eSignGlobal, which now trades under the eSign.AI name, is an enterprise e-signature platform run from Hong Kong. It focuses on signing across borders, with identity checks such as Singpass and iAM Smart, bulk sending, seals and AI contract tools. Plans have no per-seat charge, and the API arrives with the Professional plan.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about eSignGlobal, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Web only, with templates and identity methods to set up.
- 1
Best for cross-border signing across Asia and Europe
Only Basic has a price; the API, bulk sending and ID checks sit on plans you have to ask about.
- 2
Paid plans start at $24.90 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $24.90 per month, billed annually.
- 3
There is a free plan
After a 30-day trial, accounts move to a free plan with document storage, signing, team seals and email support; sending limits are not stated.
- 4
It runs on Web
Web.
- 5
Cross-border signing
The vendor says signatures are legally binding in 100+ countries and that it connects to 50+ trust service providers for advanced and qualified signing under eIDAS.
- 6
Identity verification
Signers can be checked by email or SMS code, passcode, SSO, Singpass or iAM Smart, with government ID checks on higher plans.
- 7
Templates and bulk send
Reusable templates prepare documents the same way each time, and bulk send sends one document to many signers while tracking each signature.
- 8
A 2.2 GPA, above 38 of 78
That is against the other e-signature and proposal tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
Keep it
To replace eSignGlobal you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for cross-border signing across Asia and Europe
eSignGlobal, now trading as eSign.AI, is a Hong Kong platform for signing across borders, with Singpass and iAM Smart checks and no per-seat fee. Only Basic has a price; the API, bulk sending and ID checks sit on plans you have to ask about.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Basic is $24.90 a month on annual billing with unlimited seats, between the category's middle of $20 and its dearer quarter at $29. |
| Free plan and trial | C | A 30-day trial with all features and up to 5 envelopes, then a free plan whose sending limits are not stated. |
| Features | C | Templates, bulk send, seals, AI contract tools and 50+ trust providers. The API, bulk sending, SSO and ID checks are not in Basic, and Basic's 100-document limit does not say if it is monthly or yearly. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. Web only, with templates and identity methods to set up. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web only, with an API from Professional and Okta, Microsoft SAML, Google login, Lark and WhatsApp links. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who eSignGlobal is for
- Fits if you sign with counterparties in Singapore, Hong Kong or the EU
- Works for teams that want unlimited seats instead of per-user pricing
Who it is not for
- Skip it if you want to see prices for Professional or Advanced, which are quoted by sales
- Not for you if you need the API, bulk sending or government ID checks on the cheapest plan
- Tight if you rely on Basic's 100 documents, since the page does not say if that is per month or per year
- Watch out: the site says the product is now eSign.AI, so names and plans may keep moving
Good to know
Good for
- Companies signing contracts across Asia-Pacific, Europe and the US
- Teams that want unlimited seats rather than per-user pricing
- Organizations needing Singpass or iAM Smart identity checks
Worth knowing
- Only the Basic plan has a listed price; Professional and Advanced are sold through sales.
- The API, bulk sending, SSO and government ID checks are not in Basic.
- Basic's 100-document limit does not say whether it is monthly or yearly.
- The site says eSignGlobal is now eSign.AI, run by ESIGN HK HOLDING LIMITED.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace eSignGlobal you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It costs $298.80 a year.
What you could make
- Templates: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- 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.
What this rests on. eSignGlobal’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.
