A Box Sign alternative when your contracts don't live in Box

What Box Sign includes on each Box plan

Box's pricing page lists the free Individual plan with 5 Box Sign signature requests a month, and Personal Pro at $10 a month billed annually ($14 month to month) with 15. Business Starter is $5 a user a month billed annually ($7 monthly), for 3 to 10 users, with 10 requests per user a month shared across the account. From Business, at $15 a user a month billed annually ($20 monthly) with a three-user minimum, Box lists unlimited e-sign requests sent from the Box web app.

• Requests sent through other apps are counted. Box's plan comparison allows 100 a year through third-party and custom integrations on Business, 150 on Business Plus and 250 on Enterprise, with more sold as an add-on pack.
• Batch send and ready-sign links sit at the top. Box lists both on Enterprise Plus, $50 a user a month billed annually, and Enterprise Advanced.
• Features step up plan by plan. Custom branding starts on Business, signer attachments on Business Plus, recipient groups on Enterprise and conditional fields on Enterprise Plus.
• In-person signatures start on Personal Pro. The free Individual plan doesn't include them, or unlimited templates.

SignMaster and Box Sign side by side

Box figures come from Box's pricing page, its Box Sign feature-by-plan table, its Box Sign product page and its batch send article, read on November 9, 2026, at US list prices.

What a five-person office pays

Five users on Box Business Starter cost $25 a month billed annually, or $300 a year, and the account shares 50 signature requests a month. For unlimited requests, five users on Box Business cost $75 a month billed annually ($900 a year) or $100 month to month. Batch send means Enterprise Plus: $250 a month for five, billed annually.

SignMaster Crew is $49 a month, or $490 a year, for 5 people, with unlimited envelopes, bulk send and public signing links included. What you don't get is Box's storage, sharing and content tools, so the fair comparison depends on whether you'd pay for Box anyway.

Where Box Sign is the better choice

• Your files already live in Box. Box Sign sends from the folder the document sits in, and if you're on Business or above, unlimited signing comes at no extra cost.
• You need storage and sharing as much as signatures. Box gives you unlimited storage on Business plans, external collaborators, version history and admin controls. SignMaster isn't a file-sharing service.
• Your company runs on enterprise apps. Box lists Box Sign integrations with Salesforce, Workday, Appian and UiPath. SignMaster connects through webhooks and its API.
• You work in a regulated industry. Box lists 21 CFR Part 11 signatures with GxP Validation, CAC/PIV smart-card sign-in and FedRAMP Moderate and HIPAA compliance support on its Enterprise tiers. SignMaster offers none of those.
• You want signers checked by text message. Box lists SMS signer verification from Personal Pro. SignMaster uses access codes you share yourself.

Who SignMaster fits better

Businesses that don't use Box, or use it only for storage, and need customers rather than coworkers to sign. On every paid plan, bulk send creates one envelope per row of a CSV and a public signing link lets anyone open a template and sign, two things Box keeps for Enterprise Plus.

It also fits teams that sign at the customer's place. In-person signing works on Free, the iPhone and iPad app scans paper into a searchable PDF you can send, and signers see the page and emails in any of 6 languages.

How to move your signing off Box

1. 1

   Start a free workspace

   New workspaces get 14 days of Crew with no card. Send one real agreement through it before you decide.

2. 2

   Rebuild your templates from the PDFs

   Upload the documents behind your Box Sign templates and save each as a template. Roles like Customer and Owner keep every signer's fields apart.

3. 3

   Keep Box for files if you like

   Every party gets the signed PDF and its certificate by email, so you can keep filing finished agreements in your Box folders.

4. 4

   Let open requests finish

   Requests already out can complete in Box Sign, and their signed copies stay where Box saved them.
