Alternatives
Alternatives to the e-signature tool you use now
Most people looking for an alternative want the same three things: a lower monthly bill without a yearly contract, less time dragging boxes onto PDFs, and a signed copy that would stand up if anyone questioned it. Pick the tool you are leaving.
DocuSign alternatives
For individuals and small businesses, Sign PDF is our pick: $10 a month for unlimited documents, no yearly contract, and the signature boxes are placed for you from the wording of the document. DocuSign Personal costs $11 a month on a $132 yearly commitment and stops at 5 envelopes a month. Teams that need an API, bulk sending or SSO should look at the larger platforms instead.
Dropbox Sign alternatives
Sign PDF is our pick for most people outgrowing Dropbox Sign's free plan: unlimited documents for $10 a month month to month, against $20 for Dropbox Sign Essentials on the same billing, and the fields are placed for you. If you need bulk send, SSO or an API, stay with Dropbox Sign's Standard or Premium plans or another platform built for teams.
PandaDoc alternatives
If you use PandaDoc mainly to collect signatures, Sign PDF is our pick: $10 a month flat for unlimited documents, with automatic reminders and unlimited templates that PandaDoc keeps for Business seats at $49 or more. If you build quotes with pricing tables and CRM data, PandaDoc still does that better.
signNow alternatives
Sign PDF is our pick if signNow's invite allowance keeps running out: $10 a month month to month for unlimited documents, counted once per document rather than per signer, with every box placed for you. If you will pay for a year up front, signNow's $8 Starter plan is cheaper, and its HIPAA compliance and API suit regulated teams.
Zoho Sign alternatives
Sign PDF is our pick for people who do not live inside Zoho: $10 a month month to month for unlimited documents and templates, against 25 envelopes a user a month on Zoho Sign Standard and unlimited templates only from Professional. If your work runs through Zoho CRM or you need an API, Zoho Sign remains the sensible choice.
Smallpdf alternatives
If you use Smallpdf mainly to collect signatures, Sign PDF is our pick: $10 a month, and every signature, initials and date box is placed and assigned for you instead of dragged into place on Sign.com. If you use Smallpdf's compress and convert tools every week, keep it, since its $9 annual Pro plan covers both.
pdfFiller alternatives
If you pay for pdfFiller mainly to get documents signed, Sign PDF is our pick: $10 a month month to month, where pdfFiller only sends for signature on Premium at $40 a month, or $15 on an annual commitment. We also place every box for you. If you edit PDF text or use US legal forms, pdfFiller still earns its place.
Adobe Acrobat Sign alternatives
If you use Acrobat only to send contracts for signature, Sign PDF is the simplest switch: $10 a month for unlimited documents, month to month, with the signature boxes placed and assigned to each signer for you. Acrobat Standard costs $24.99 a month without a commitment, and its cheaper annual plan carries a cancellation fee after 14 days.
SignWell alternatives
Sign PDF is our pick if you like SignWell's simple pricing but want the boxes placed for you: upload a contract and the signature, initials and date fields appear, already matched to each signer. Unlimited documents cost $10 a month month to month, against $12 for SignWell Light on monthly billing.
Signeasy alternatives
Sign PDF is the closest swap for Signeasy Personal users who have outgrown 5 sends a month: $10 a month gets unlimited documents and templates, with no yearly payment. Signeasy's cheapest unlimited plan is Business at $30 a seat a month, or $20 billed yearly.
BoldSign alternatives
Sign PDF is a good next step when BoldSign's 25 free envelopes are not enough: $10 a month buys unlimited documents with no per-user charge, and the boxes are placed and matched to each signer. BoldSign's unlimited Business plan costs $25 a user a month on monthly billing.
Jotform Sign alternatives
If you use Jotform only to get documents signed, Sign PDF does that job for $10 a month with no cap on documents, and places the signature boxes for each signer when you upload. Jotform's Bronze plan costs $39 a month for 100 signed documents and bundles a form builder you may not need.
Yousign alternatives
If you use Yousign for everyday contracts that do not need a qualified signature, Sign PDF costs $10 a month for unlimited documents and places the boxes for each signer when you upload. Yousign's One plan stops at 10 requests a month, and unlimited sending starts on Plus, priced per user.
Foxit eSign alternatives
Sign PDF is the simplest Foxit eSign alternative for one person or a small business: $10 a month for unlimited documents, billed monthly, with the signature boxes placed for each signer. Foxit's Essentials plan is paid yearly with 250 envelopes, and unlimited Business needs at least five licences at $300 each a year.
