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. - **Value for money: C.** $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. - **Free plan and trial: C.** No 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. - **Features: B.** Templates, 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. - **Ease of use: C.** There'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. - **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web, 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. These are ToolGPA's own grades. Graded from this listing, whose facts were read from Foxit's own pages on 18 October 2026.

That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one. It costs $120 a year. - You could make: Documents, templates and forms: an app builder makes these well. - You could not: Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. - You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page. - You could not: It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team. - You could not: What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on, SOC 2 and HIPAA. - You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
