Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.6
GPA, above 7 of the 13 other e-signature and proposal tools we grade
signNow, from airSlate, sends documents for e-signature, sets the signing order and tracks each signer's progress, with mobile apps for signing on the go. Its plans charge per account rather than per user, so a whole team can share one plan, but each plan includes a set number of signature invites a year. An Enterprise option drops the plan fee and charges per invite instead.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about signNow, taken from its own pages and our grades.
Not the top of this category, but a big and mostly happy crowd for a signing app.
- 1
Best for one low plan price shared by the whole team
signNow charges per account, not per person, so the whole team shares one plan, with bulk send and payments on Business at $15 a month billed yearly.
- 2
Paid plans start at $8 a month
As its pricing page puts it: $8 per month, billed annually ($20 billed monthly).
- 3
You can try it first
7-day free trial
- 4
It runs on 3 platforms
Web, iOS and Android.
- 5
Unlimited users per plan
Team members can be added to any plan for free; the plan's yearly allowance of signature invites is what limits use.
- 6
Signing order and tracking
Send to several recipients in a set order or all at once, with an audit trail, reminders and a dashboard of document status.
- 7
Bulk send and signing links
From Business, send one document to a list of recipients for their own copies, or share a link anyone can use to sign.
- 8
A 2.6 GPA, above 7 of 13
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
The plain part of signNow you could make: documents, templates and forms. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.

The report card
Best for one low plan price shared by the whole team
signNow charges per account, not per person, so the whole team shares one plan, with bulk send and payments on Business at $15 a month billed yearly. The catch is the allowance: 100 signature invites a year on every plan. Send 20 documents a month and you'll run out within five months.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | Business is $15 a month for the whole team, billed yearly ($30 monthly), so $5 a head for three. But it includes 100 invites a year and you'd send about 240. Extra invites have no published price, and Enterprise at $1.50 an invite comes to about $30 a month. |
| Free plan and trial | C | No free plan, and the free trial lasts 7 days; the listing doesn't say it needs a card. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee too, but that isn't a trial. |
| Features | B | Signing order, reminders and unlimited templates on Basic; bulk send, signing links, payments and kiosk signing on Business; conditional fields, approvals, SMS and signer checks on Advanced. That covers the whole job across its plans. |
| Ease of use | B | 4.47 from about 18,100 App Store ratings. Not the top of this category, but a big and mostly happy crowd for a signing app. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with Google Workspace, Gmail, ChatGPT and Claude. Salesforce, NetSuite, Dynamics 365 and the full API need Enterprise, and there's no desktop app, so it's a B. |
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 signNow is for
- Great if several people send a few documents each and you'd rather not pay per seat
- Handy when you want bulk send and payment collection for $15 a month
- Good for signing at a front desk, with kiosk mode on Business
Who it is not for
- Tight if you send more than about 8 documents a month, as plans include 100 invites a year
- Not for you if you need Salesforce or SSO, which both mean Enterprise
- Skip it if you want a long look first, as the trial is only 7 days
Good to know
Good for
- Small businesses with many people who each send only a few documents
- Teams that want bulk send and payment collection at a low plan price
- High-volume senders who would rather pay per invite than per seat
Worth knowing
- Basic, Business and Advanced each include 100 signature invites a year; more invites are sold on top, at a price the page does not give.
- Salesforce, NetSuite and Microsoft Dynamics 365 integrations, SSO and the full API need Enterprise, billed per invite from $1.50.
- The trial lasts 7 days; the pricing page also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee.

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
The plain part of signNow you could make: documents, templates and forms. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It costs $96 a year.
What you could make
- Documents, templates and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce, Google Workspace and Gmail among them, and has an API.
- Sharing with other people, which means accounts and invitations.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. signNow’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.
