RightSignature alternative

A RightSignature alternative now that it's moving into ShareFile

If you've used RightSignature for years, you may have noticed the change: its website now leads to ShareFile, and ShareFile says it is no longer selling a standalone e-signature product. RightSignature is consolidating into ShareFile, which is part of Progress Software. So the real comparison is ShareFile Premium against a dedicated signing app. Here it is, from ShareFile's own pages as of November 2026.

What happened to RightSignature

ShareFile's RightSignature page says RightSignature is consolidating into ShareFile and that standalone e-signature is no longer for sale. It tells customers to buy ShareFile Premium, which includes e-signatures and knowledge-based identity checks at no extra cost. The RightSignature API still works, but its documentation says you need a ShareFile Premium or Industry Advantage plan to use it.

  • You're buying file sharing too. ShareFile is a secure file-sharing and client-portal platform first, with e-signature built in.
  • There's a three-user minimum. ShareFile's plans page lists Premium at $26 a user a month on annual billing or $28.59 monthly, with a minimum of 3 users.
  • The cheaper plan has no e-signature. ShareFile Advanced, at $16.50 a user a month on annual billing, isn't listed with e-signature features.

ShareFile figures come from its RightSignature page, plans page, product pages, documentation and the RightSignature API docs, read on November 5, 2026, at US list prices.

What a small team pays

Three users on ShareFile Premium are $78 a month on annual billing, or $85.77 month to month. Five users are $130 a month annually, or $142.95 monthly. A one-person office still pays for three. SignMaster Solo is $15 a month for one person, and Crew is $49 a month for 5, so you pay for the people you have.

If you still have an active RightSignature account, ask ShareFile what changes at your next renewal. Its RightSignature page points customers to ShareFile Premium for e-signatures going forward.

Where ShareFile is the better choice

  • You exchange files with clients all day. Accountants, law firms and others who already use a client portal get e-signature in the same place their documents live.
  • You need identity checks without extra fees. Premium includes knowledge-based authentication. SignMaster offers access codes, not identity verification.
  • You sign under EU rules. ShareFile's documentation says advanced and qualified eIDAS signatures are supported on Premium and up in its EU data region, for single-signer documents.
  • You send at very high volume. ShareFile lists up to 100,000 e-signature documents a month per account.
  • Your team uses Android. ShareFile has iOS and Android apps. SignMaster has no Android app, though it works in Android browsers.

Who SignMaster fits better

Small offices that want what RightSignature used to be: a straightforward signing tool. SignMaster sends from a template in a few clicks, signs in person on a phone or iPad, and returns a sealed PDF with a certificate of completion to everyone. There's no file-sharing platform to learn, and a one-person practice can start on Free or Solo.

If you used RightSignature for its simplicity, Alana keeps it that way: describe the job in a sentence and she fills the fields and adds the signer, then waits for you to press send.

How to move off RightSignature

  1. 1

    Download your signed documents

    Before anything changes, save your completed RightSignature documents and their audit details somewhere you control.

  2. 2

    Start a SignMaster workspace

    You get 14 days of Crew with no card, so you can rebuild your common forms before your next renewal.

  3. 3

    Rebuild your reusable documents

    Upload the PDFs behind your RightSignature templates. Fillable fields come across, and text tags turn into fields where they're typed.

  4. 4

    Update anything built on the API

    Point integrations at SignMaster's REST API and webhooks on Crew or Company, which send signed JSON events as envelopes are viewed, signed and completed.

Questions? Answers.

Can I still buy RightSignature?

Not as a standalone product. ShareFile's RightSignature page says it's no longer selling standalone e-signature and points customers to ShareFile Premium.

Who owns RightSignature now?

RightSignature is consolidating into ShareFile, and ShareFile says it's part of the Progress product portfolio.

Is there a SignMaster plan for one person?

Yes. Solo is $15 a month for one person with unlimited envelopes, and Free sends 3 envelopes a month.

Will my RightSignature API integration keep working?

RightSignature's API documentation says you need a ShareFile Premium or Industry Advantage plan, and that trial accounts don't include API access by default. On SignMaster, the REST API and webhooks come with Crew and Company.

Does ShareFile include in-person signing?

ShareFile's e-signature page mentions Sign in Person alongside CC and view-only recipients, without naming a plan. SignMaster includes in-person signing on every plan.

Where do the ShareFile figures come from?

From ShareFile's RightSignature page, plans page, e-signature product page and documentation, and the RightSignature API docs, read on November 5, 2026.
