The E-Signature Pricing Index
Updated October 22, 2026. Re-verified quarterly — see the methodology and changelog below.
Entry-level pricing across 12 e-signature and proposal tools, checked directly against each vendor's own public pricing page on September 22, 2026, plus DocuAgree presented exactly as neutrally as every other row — including where a competitor genuinely beats DocuAgree on price or flexibility. Two vendors (PandaDoc, signNow) blocked automated access to their own pricing page during this check; those two rows are cross-referenced from multiple independent third-party pricing trackers instead of a direct fetch, and are flagged below.
The table
| Tool | Entry price, billed monthly | Entry price, billed annually (per mo) | What the entry tier caps | Free tier? | Annual commitment for the low price? |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| DocuAgree | $4.99/mo, flat, one plan | Same — no annual discount because there's no annual plan | Nothing — unlimited sends and signers at any account | First 3 documents free, no card | No — month-to-month, pause anytime |
| DocuSign | $15/mo (Personal) | $11/mo billed monthly, or $10/mo billed upfront (12-month plan) | 1 user, 5 envelopes/mo | No — 30-day money-back guarantee on annual plans, no trial | No — month-to-month available at $15; the lower rates need a 12-month plan |
| PandaDoc | $35/user/mo (Starter) | $19/user/mo | Unlimited documents created in the app; API/automation documents use paid usage credits | Yes — 5 documents/mo, up to 5 templates | Yes, for the discounted annual rate |
| Adobe Acrobat Sign | No standalone e-signature plan — bundled into Acrobat. Individuals: $24.99/mo month-to-month (Standard) | $14.99/mo (Standard, annual plan); team licenses from $16.99/mo, annual only | Not publicly stated | No — trial on Pro and Studio only | For the lower rate, yes — cancelling an annual plan after 14 days costs half the remaining commitment |
| Dropbox Sign | $15/mo (Essentials, 1 user) | $15/mo ($180/yr) — the page sometimes shows a first-year coupon | Unlimited signature requests; up to 5 templates | Yes — 3 signature requests every 30 days | No — same rate either way |
| SignWell | $12/mo (Light, 1 sender) | $10/mo billed yearly | Unlimited documents | Yes — 3 documents/mo, 1 sender, 1 template | Yes, for the discounted rate; monthly has no long-term contract |
| signNow | $20/mo (Business), unlimited users | $8/mo | 100 signature invites/yr per account (10/mo on monthly billing), then pay-as-you-go | No — 7-day trial, 30-day money-back guarantee | Yes, for the discounted rate |
| Zoho Sign | $12/user/mo (Standard) | $10/user/mo | 25 envelopes/user/mo | Yes — 5 envelopes/mo, 1 user | Yes, for the discounted rate |
| GoSign | $9/mo flat (Unlock) | ~17% less, billed annually | Nothing — unlimited users, envelopes, and templates | Yes — 1 user, 10 envelopes/mo, GoSign branding | No — month-to-month available at the listed price |
| Proposify | $49/user/mo (Build) | $39/user/mo | Unclear — pricing page lists unlimited sends, but still shows an older 10 sends/mo + $0.50 overage table under the previous plan names | No — 14-day trial | Yes, for the discounted rate |
| Qwilr | $49/user/mo (Starter) | $35/user/mo | 40 included documents on annual Starter (none on monthly), then $2.50/document | No — 14-day trial | Yes, for the discounted rate |
| Better Proposals | $19/mo (Starter) | $13/mo | 10 sends/mo, 1 user | No — 14-day trial | Yes, for the discounted rate |
| GetAccept | $25/user/mo (eSign) | Same figure — available on monthly or annual billing at the listed rate, no stated discount | Unlimited e-signatures; no document cap published | No — trial only | Yes — every plan is a 12-month agreement, even when paid monthly |
Where DocuAgree isn't the cheapest, or isn't the most flexible
Stated plainly, the way the rest of this page is: GoSign is flat-rate and unlimited-user at $9/month — a few dollars more than DocuAgree's $4.99 — and if you need more than one person logging in, that's a real advantage DocuAgree doesn't currently match — DocuAgree is built for one operator per account. signNow is $8/month billed annually for unlimited users, which beats DocuAgree for a team that sends around 100 documents a year or fewer. GoSign, PandaDoc, Zoho Sign, Dropbox Sign, and SignWell all have genuine recurring free tiers (3 to 10 documents a month) with no card required, the same as DocuAgree's first-3-documents offer, so if a handful of documents a month is genuinely all you need long-term, one of those free tiers may cost nothing indefinitely where DocuAgree eventually asks for a card. Zoho Sign's paid entry tier ($10–12/user/month) is roughly twice DocuAgree's price, but includes 25 envelopes/user/month with multi-user support DocuAgree doesn't offer. None of that changes what DocuAgree is actually built for — a single operator who wants one flat, predictable, no-annual-contract price — but it's not the cheapest or most flexible option on every axis, and a page whose whole value is being trustworthy shouldn't pretend otherwise.
Methodology
- What was checked. Each vendor's own public pricing page, on October 22, 2026. Most of these pages build their prices in JavaScript, so each was loaded in a real browser with every monthly/annual toggle clicked, rather than read from a cached or third-party copy. No figure on this page comes from a third-party tracker.
- Which tier is "entry price." The cheapest tier with a real, published per-seat or flat price — not a "contact sales" enterprise tier, and not counting a free plan (shown separately in its own column).
- How monthly vs. annual was normalized. Where a vendor shows both a monthly-billed rate and a lower annual-billed (paid monthly) rate, both are listed separately rather than picking the more flattering one for either side of this comparison. Where a vendor shows only one rate, both columns show that same figure.
- What's excluded. Add-on and overage fees beyond the entry tier's base price, non-USD currency variants, enterprise/custom pricing with no public number, and any tier above the entry level (DocuSign's Standard and Business Pro tiers, for example, exist but aren't the entry price this page compares).
- What "annual commitment required" means here. Whether the advertised low price requires paying (or committing to) a 12-month term, even if billed monthly in installments — as opposed to a price available with no minimum term.
Keeping this current
Pricing changes, and a stale pricing index is worse than no pricing index at all — it becomes something people cite to show this page is wrong. Every figure above is re-verified quarterly at minimum, with the date at the top of this page and dateModified in this page's own schema kept current, and every change logged below rather than silently edited in place.
Changelog

PandaDoc and signNow are now sourced directly instead of through third-party trackers.
