A Formstack Sign alternative when you only need e-signatures
Formstack Sign is the e-signature piece of Formstack's forms, documents and workflow platform. On its own pricing page today, it isn't sold by itself: e-signatures come with the Suite bundle or the custom Salesforce and Enterprise plans. That's a strong package if you want forms, document generation and signing together. If you only want contracts signed, here's how it compares, from Formstack's own pages as of November 2026.

How Formstack sells e-signatures
Formstack's pricing page lists a Forms plan, which doesn't include e-signatures, and a Suite plan of Forms, Documents and Sign starting at $250 a month paid annually or $299 month to month. Suite includes 3 builder users, 100 forms, 250 document deliveries a month and unlimited e-signatures. The Salesforce and Enterprise plans are custom-priced.
- No per-envelope fees. Formstack's Sign page says so in as many words, which is a real plus.
- The trial covers Forms only. Formstack's FAQ says the 14-day free trial is of its core Forms product.
- Extra users aren't priced on the page. Formstack says you can add users after you sign up, but the pricing page doesn't list a price per user.
- HIPAA is an add-on on Suite and included on the Salesforce and Enterprise plans.

What you're paying for
At $250 a month paid annually, Suite costs $3,000 a year for three builders. If you use the forms, the document merges and the signatures, that can be good value. If the forms and documents sit idle, SignMaster Company covers 15 people for $99 a month, and Crew covers 5 for $49.
Where Formstack is the better choice
- You build forms and generate documents. Formstack runs the whole chain, from the first form to the final signature, in one platform. SignMaster signs documents you bring or build from templates.
- You're an insurance agency on an agency system. Formstack's help center lists Sign integrations with Applied Epic, HawkSoft, NowCerts, QQCatalyst and others.
- You work in Salesforce. Formstack sells a plan built for Salesforce, with native forms, documents and e-signature.
- You want signers to get a text. Formstack Sign can send documents by email or SMS.
- Signers need more languages. Formstack's signing experience lists 16, including Spanish, Chinese and Hindi.
Who SignMaster fits better
Businesses whose documents already exist and simply need signing, with a few people sending. Templates carry calculated and conditional fields, so a quote's total adds itself up while the client signs. A public signing link covers sign-up style paperwork, and the Responses tab gathers what everyone typed into one table with CSV and JSON export.
Insurance agencies and others can send a renewal to a whole book of clients with bulk send, with each row filling the client's own figures, and get the signed PDF with its certificate of completion back for the file. See SignMaster for insurance agencies.

Questions? Answers.
Can I buy Formstack Sign on its own?
Not from Formstack's current pricing page. E-signatures come with Suite, and with the custom Salesforce and Enterprise plans. The Forms plan doesn't include them.
Does SignMaster have a form builder?
No. SignMaster turns your PDFs into templates with fields, and a public signing link lets anyone fill and sign one. It doesn't build multi-page web forms like Formstack Forms.
Can SignMaster send the signing link by text message?
SignMaster emails the link. You can copy any signer's private link and text it yourself from your phone.
Can signers sign Formstack and SignMaster documents on a phone?
Yes. Formstack's help center says signers can use an iPhone, Android phone, iPad or almost any smart device. SignMaster signers do the same in any browser, and senders also get an iPhone and iPad app for scanning, sending and in-person signing.
Where do the Formstack figures come from?
