Good for

Watch out for
  • Free plan: 1 user, 25 envelopes a month and 2 templates
  • Growth caps envelopes at 50 per user a month; unlimited envelopes need Business
  • Bulk send, SMS delivery and ID verification are paid add-ons, available from Business
  • Envelope allowances: Personal 5 a month; Standard and Business Pro 100 per user per year on annual plans, with extra envelopes billed pay-as-you-go
  • Payment collection, web forms and bulk send need Business Pro or an IAM Professional or higher plan
  • No free plan for sending; the free developer account is a demo environment whose envelopes are not legally valid
