What a document costs on a capped plan
Several entry plans cap how much you can send. DocuSign Personal allows 5 envelopes a month, so at $10 a month each envelope costs $2 if you use them all. Foxit Essentials allows 250 envelopes a year for $120, or $0.48 each. SignNow Business allows 100 invites a year per account for $96, or $0.96 each, shared across all users. Zoho Sign Standard allows 25 envelopes per user a month. SignWell, PandaDoc and Dropbox Sign don't cap documents on the entry plan, and Adobe's pages don't state a limit for Acrobat Standard.
Three senders
A small office with three people sending, billed yearly:
- SignNow Business: $8 a month in total, because users are unlimited, but the 100-invite yearly allowance is shared.
- SignWell Business: $30 a month for 3 senders, with unlimited templates.
- Zoho Sign Standard: $30 a month (US$10 per user).

Commitments and cancelling
Yearly billing saves money but can lock you in. DocuSign's default "Annual | Billed monthly" option is an annual commitment: you can cancel within 30 days without penalty, and after that the rest of the year is owed. Adobe charges up to half the remaining annual commitment if you cancel an annual plan billed monthly after 14 days, and gives no refund on a prepaid year after 14 days. SignNow offers a 30-day money-back guarantee, Signeasy a 100-day guarantee on yearly plans, and SignWell says it has no long-term contracts.
Free plans
Four tools have a free plan for sending: SignWell (3 documents a month), Dropbox Sign (3 signature requests a month), Zoho Sign (5 envelopes a month, one user) and PandaDoc (60 documents a calendar year). A free Acrobat account allows two signature requests every 30 days. DocuSign, SignNow, Signeasy and Foxit offer trials only.
