Foxit eSign
E-signatures with payments, notary and storage, priced per user a year
Foxit eSign report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 18, 2026
Best for signing with payments and a notary built in
Foxit eSign, from the maker of Foxit PDF Editor, does the signing job and a bit more: take a payment as people sign, book an online notary or check a signer's identity. Essentials is $120 a year for one person. Teams hit a wall, though, as unlimited sending and web forms need Business, sold in 5 licenses or more.
Who Foxit eSign is for
- Great if you already edit your PDFs in Foxit PDF Editor
- Handy when you want paid at the moment the contract is signed
- Good for regulated teams that need HIPAA or 21 CFR Part 11 support
Who Foxit eSign is not for
- Tight if you send more than 250 envelopes a year, the cap on Essentials
- Pricey if you're a team of three wanting Business, since it's sold in 5 licenses at $300 each a year
- Skip it if you want web forms or Zapier on the cheap plan, as both start on Business
Why Foxit eSign gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for money$120 a person a year on Essentials, $10 a month, right at this category's middle, with 250 envelopes and 10 templates a year. Unlimited sending needs Business at $300 a person a year, and that's sold in 5 licenses or more.
- CFree plan and trialNo free plan, but a 14-day trial of Essentials with no card needed. The free signing tool on Foxit's site isn't legally binding, so it doesn't count.
- BFeaturesTemplates, signing order, bulk send, Foxit Pay for collecting payment, an online notary, knowledge-based and qualified signatures, unlimited storage, and HIPAA and 21 CFR Part 11 support. It covers the whole job across its plans; the notary costs extra.
- CEase of useThere's an iPhone app but no store rating on record. It's a web app where you set up templates and workflows first, and the team features wait for Business.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, iPhone and Android, with Microsoft Teams, Dynamics, Zapier, WordPress and Salesforce, and you can sign from inside Foxit PDF Editor. No desktop app of its own.

Keep Foxit eSign, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Foxit eSign 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 $120 a year.
What you could make
- Documents, templates and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on, SOC 2 and HIPAA.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Foxit eSign’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.
