The dotcom boom had brought to us a new sense of convenience – a way of doing things digital. Any solution that provided the luxury of not having to step out of one\u2019s home found quick adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The COVID-19 pandemic further highlighted the benefits of this digital transformation. Many things we thought required face-to-face functionality can be done from home, all with little or no complications. One of the things that we have come to realize is that contracts and agreements that we have always signed in-person can just as easily be handled digitally. Digital signing is easy and convenient, and according to current legal precedent, it is fully legally binding<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are quite a few companies in the digital signing sphere, each with its unique functionalities. Read on to help determine which is going to be the best fit for you and your organization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

List of most popular eSignature software being discussed are as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adobe Sign<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You cannot really even discuss eSign software solutions without considering Adobe Sign. Adobe created the PDF<\/a> in 1992, following the dream of a fully digital office<\/a>. Dr. John Warnock, Adobe\u2019s co-founder, had a vision of the future office where documents, including contracts, could be scanned, emailed, and signed, all without leaving your desk. His vision led to the creation of a secure digital document, even before the arrival of the internet which is still used today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adobe Sign has high functionality, including in-app signing on your cell phone. The biggest drawback to Adobe Sign is the cost. The price per month is fairly standard but is specifically geared toward multi-signer organizations. For single-person usage, Adobe Sign is expensive and only provides 150 eSignatures a year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secured Signing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Secured Signing is a cloud-based solution. When trying to go as virtual as possible, cloud-based options<\/a> allow you to eliminate in-person contact efficiently and conveniently. Allowing multiple users to log in to the same document and sign eliminates the need for users to physically interact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secured Signing has a fairly complex pricing model that utilizes both the number of documents being signed and the number of people using the software. This means it can work out to be one of the less expensive options, but if you have more than a few documents to sign each month, or if you have multiple employees in your organization who will need to sign, the price can quickly climb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signeasy<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you are just looking for software to sign documents without a lot of bells and whistles, Signeasy maybe your best option. It does have a high level of mobile integration, so it is great for getting your documents submitted, signed, and returned quickly. Signeasy\u2019s pricing model is mostly channeled at individual users.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Signeasy is a great value for individual users since the basic plan allows for unlimited simple document signatures. Additional users are added one at a time, and the only plan that allows for more than one is the top-tier plan. Costs for this can add up to be much higher than some other options if you need several users to have access. In addition, there is no option for two users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The top-tier plan that allows multiple users also requires at least three. The multiplier for three users on this plan costs more than many other companies\u2019 top-tier plans, with fewer features than most. Companies that only need two signers will have to choose between paying for an additional account they do not need, or the two employees will have to purchase their own separate personal accounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

PandaDoc<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

PandaDoc is one of the most popular options on the market today for one huge reason: it has a functional free version. PandaDoc\u2019s free version allows you to complete many basic tasks. PandaDoc has a fairly rich selection of upgrades, but even the free version offers unlimited document signing, something that is typically reserved for mid or upper-tier software packages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest drawback to PandaDoc comes when you need more options for your company. The corporate, multiple-employer plan is one of the most expensive on the market, and each additional employee is an additional fee. This adds up pretty quickly if you need any of those additional features.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keepsolid Sign<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Keepsolid is primarily known as a security services company, so it makes sense that their eSign software provides a number of resources to make your documents function more safely. 256-bit encryption paired with annotation and collaboration tools makes this software simultaneously secure and functional. Since eSign documents are almost universally intended to be used in a legal scenario of some sort, it makes sense that the people who purchase them would want it to keep the documents safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keepsolid Sign is one of the more frugally-priced eSign software solutions on the market. It has a great deal of variation in what people eventually pay but not due to choosing different software levels. All of the paid versions of Keepsolid Sign provide the same decent list of standard services. The difference in prices is exclusively based on how many members of your team will need to use the software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DocuSign<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DocuSign is a cloud-based solution that allows you to sign an unlimited number of documents with its free version. Every document you sign with DocuSign is available on their cloud servers, which is great if you need access to your documents to be available at any time. With cloud-based services, you can open and sign your documents from your phone <\/a>or any device as needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you only need the ability to sign documents<\/a>, this is a great free service, but if you need to request eSignatures from others on your own documents, you will be required to purchase a paid version. There is a lot of granularity in services offered by DocuSign. DocuSign offers a few features in their free version. To get all features, you need to have subscriptions which can be pricey for the users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
