Good for
  • Freelancers who send a few contracts a month
  • Small teams that want unlimited documents without per-envelope pricing
  • Developers who want usage-based API pricing with no monthly minimum
  • Sending a handful of contracts a month as a sole trader
  • Collecting payments and form data as part of signing
  • Searching and analysing a library of signed agreements with AI
Watch out for
  • Free plan: 1 sender, 1 template and 3 documents a month
  • Light lacks custom branding, conditional fields, attachments and in-person signing, which need Business
  • API documents beyond 25 a month are billed per document, from $0.85
  • 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
