Best E-Signature Software in 2026

Docusign is the largest dedicated e-signature company. It reports about 1.9 million paying customers, more than a billion users and use in more than 180 countries, and its investor site gives its headquarters as 221 Main Street, San Francisco.

Beyond eSignature, Docusign now sells Intelligent Agreement Management (IAM), which it describes as a new category: a repository that ingests large sets of agreements, workflow tools that run at scale, and analysis of agreement data. It reports 40,000 customers on the IAM platform, and says IAM is available inside ChatGPT and connects to Claude, Gemini Enterprise, GitHub Copilot, Copilot Studio and Agentforce through an MCP server.

Standalone eSignature plans are published in US dollars on annual commitments: Personal at US$11 a month with five envelopes, Standard at US$30 and Business Pro at US$45 per user per month with 100 envelopes per user per year, and Enhanced by quote. Envelopes beyond the allowance are charged pay-as-you-go. The envelope caps are the main limitation, as high-volume senders can pay considerably more than the headline seat price; no free trial is advertised on the plans page, although annual plans bought online carry a 30-day refund.

Adobe sells e-signature capability primarily through Acrobat. Both Acrobat Standard for teams and Acrobat Pro for teams include the ability to sign documents, request signatures and track responses; Pro adds branded agreements with a logo and custom URL, reusable e-sign templates and bulk sending of signature requests.

The pricing page reached for this review was localised to the euro area. It listed Acrobat Standard for teams at €16.80 and Acrobat Pro for teams at €23.99 per licence per month on an annual commitment billed monthly, or €201.60 and €287.88 per year prepaid, excluding VAT. Cancelling after 14 days incurs a fee on monthly-billed annual plans. US-dollar prices could not be confirmed.

The advantage is that one licence covers PDF editing, conversion and e-signature, which suits organisations that already standardise on Acrobat. Buyers needing high-volume or integrated enterprise signing workflows should confirm with Adobe which product and licence covers them.

Dropbox Sign is Dropbox's e-signature product, sold standalone and through an API. Its pricing page advertises unlimited signature requests with no hidden fees on paid plans, in contrast to envelope-capped competitors.

In US dollars, Essentials (one user) costs US$15 a month billed monthly or US$10.05 a month billed yearly; Standard (two or more users) costs US$25 per user per month billed monthly or US$17.50 billed yearly; Premium (five or more users) is quoted. A free plan is offered, and API pricing is published separately.

Dropbox Sign is a good fit for small and mid-size businesses wanting a simple interface and predictable costs, and for developers embedding signing in their own applications. It offers fewer document-generation and contract-lifecycle features than PandaDoc or Docusign IAM.

PandaDoc combines document creation (proposals, quotes, contracts) with e-signature, which makes it popular with sales teams that build documents from templates and CRM data and then send them for signing.

In US dollars, the Free plan includes five documents a month and limited API access; Starter costs US$19 per seat per month billed annually with unlimited uploads and e-signatures; Business costs US$49 per seat per month billed annually and adds custom quotes, CRM integrations, approval workflows and bulk send (some features use Usage Credits); Enterprise is priced per seat or per document. A 14-day free trial is available.

PandaDoc's strength is the document-generation layer, which Docusign and Dropbox Sign sell separately or not at all. Teams that only need to sign uploaded PDFs may find it more than they need, and some Business features consume additional usage credits.

signNow is the e-signature product of airSlate Inc., marketed as part of the airSlate Business Cloud. The company claims millions of users and names Xerox, Amgen and TechData among companies using it.

Features include typed, drawn or uploaded signatures, templates, bulk sending, role-based signing order, team collaboration, branding, two-factor signer authentication, document generation, web forms, automation bots and payment collection on Enterprise. Integrations include Salesforce, NetSuite, Google Drive and Microsoft Teams. airSlate lists GDPR, SOC 2 Type II, PCI DSS, 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA and CCPA compliance, and ESIGN, UETA and eIDAS conformity.

Its homepage lists a Business Premium tier at US$15, Business Pro at US$40 and Enterprise from US$30 a month, with a 7-day free trial and an API free tier of 250 signature invites; the comparison layout was partly garbled, so buyers should confirm the current plan structure.

OneSpan Sign is the e-signature platform of OneSpan. It covers document preparation, identity assurance, signing and connected workflows for customer agreements, and features logos of NASA, IBM, RBC Royal Bank, Standard Chartered, BMO and Generali.

OneSpan states compliance with SOC 2 Type II, ISO/IEC 27001, 27017 and 27018, FedRAMP requirements, HIPAA and GDPR; signatures comply with the US ESIGN Act, UETA and the EU eIDAS regulation, and the audit trail supports KYC, AML and FINTRAC processes. The signing experience is described as WCAG 2.1 AA accessible.

The Professional plan costs US$22 per user per month billed yearly; Enterprise is volume-priced by quote; a 30-day free trial is offered. Its emphasis on identity assurance and audit evidence is aimed at financial services and government. AI summary and agentic MCP features are listed as "coming soon".

Zoho Sign is the e-signature service of Zoho, the business-software suite vendor. Plans are Free, Standard, Professional and Enterprise, plus pay-per-envelope API pricing and custom plans.

The Free plan allows five envelopes per user per month for one user. Standard allows 25 envelopes per user per month and adds approval and manager workflows; Professional has unlimited envelopes, unlimited templates and branding; Enterprise adds bulk send, in-person signing and payment collection. Annual billing saves 20%. The 14-day trial gives Enterprise access for up to ten users, with watermarked documents, and reverts to Free afterwards.

Zoho Sign is a strong value option for businesses already on Zoho. Exact per-user prices were not displayed on the pricing page version reviewed, so they are not quoted here.

Youtrust is the new name of Yousign, a European e-signature provider; its website carries the banner "Yousign becomes Youtrust". It states that each signature meets eIDAS norms and that data is hosted in the EU, and it displays B Corp certification.

Prices are published in euros excluding VAT: Free (two signature requests a month), One at €9 a month (ten requests), Plus at €23 per user per month and Pro at €38 per user per month, both with unlimited e-signatures, workspaces, bulk sends and service-level agreements. Qualified electronic signatures, the highest eIDAS level, start at €10 per signature on Plus and Pro. Paid plans include free identity, company-registry and bank-account verification credits, and there is a 14-day trial.

Youtrust suits European businesses that need EU data hosting and occasional qualified signatures. US-dollar prices are not listed, and its integration catalogue is smaller than Docusign's.

BoldSign is an e-signature platform owned by Syncfusion, Inc., the developer-tools company. It offers a web application and an API aimed at developers embedding signing in software.

The Essential plan is free for one user with 25 envelopes a month and two templates. Paid plans are Growth (US$5 or US$15 per user per month, 50 envelopes per user), Business (US$15 or US$25 per user per month, unlimited envelopes) and Premium (US$99 or US$138 a month, unlimited users, 250 envelopes); the lower figures appear to be yearly billing, which the page says saves 40%. The Enterprise API starts at US$30 a month with 40 envelopes, then US$0.75 each. A 30-day trial is offered, Growth is free for non-profits.

BoldSign is among the cheapest options for unlimited envelopes and its sandbox suits developers. The brand is less known, and the billing labels on its pricing page are ambiguous.

SignWell is a straightforward e-signature service priced per sender, with signers free and unlimited on every plan.

Plans in US dollars: Free (one sender, one template, three documents a month), Light at US$10 a month billed annually or US$12 monthly with unlimited documents, Business at US$30 a month annually or US$36 monthly for three senders and unlimited templates, and Enterprise by quote. API documents cost US$0.85 each, falling to US$0.20 at high volume, and adding the API plan makes the first 25 API documents a month free.

SignWell suits small businesses with occasional signing needs and developers who want simple per-document API pricing. Bulk send, SMS, branding, SOC 2 report access and HIPAA business associate agreements are not available on the free plan.

Signeasy is an e-signature service for individuals and small teams, with templates, team management and add-ons for regulated use.

In US dollars, Personal costs US$10 per seat per month (US$120 a year) with five contracts a month; Business costs US$20 (US$240 a year) and Business Pro US$30 (US$360 a year), both with unlimited sending and templates; a custom plan serves five or more seats or high volumes. A 14-day trial is offered, and yearly plans carry a 100-day money-back guarantee. SMS, bulk send, SSO, HIPAA and 21 CFR Part 11 are add-ons.

Signeasy's unlimited-sending Business plan is cheaper than Docusign's envelope-capped Standard tier, but compliance features cost extra.

Box Sign is the e-signature feature built into Box's content cloud. Unlimited signature requests from the Box web app are included at no added cost in paid Box plans at the Business tier and above.

Features include signing on desktop or mobile without a Box account, support for more than 40 file types, CAC/PIV smart-card authentication, serial and parallel routing, recipient groups, templates with 13 field types and conditional fields, batch send, ready-sign links, Box Relay workflow triggers, and 21 CFR Part 11 support. Compliance (HIPAA, SOC, ISO, FedRAMP) is inherited from Box.

For Box customers, Box Sign removes a separate e-signature licence. It is not sold standalone, so organisations not using Box gain nothing from it.

Jotform Sign is the e-signature product of Jotform, the online form builder. It converts PDFs into signable documents, offers more than 1,000 templates for agreements, waivers and consent forms, and lets documents be sent by email, shared as links or embedded on websites.

Plans in US dollars are counted by signed documents: Starter free with ten a month; Bronze US$39 a month or US$408 a year for 100; Silver US$49 or US$468 for 250; Gold US$129 or US$1,188 for 1,000; Enterprise unlimited. Signed documents can be sent automatically to cloud storage, and collected data flows into Jotform Tables and reports.

Jotform Sign suits organisations already collecting data with Jotform forms. It lacks the identity-verification depth of enterprise vendors.
