Dropbox Sign vs signNow

The short answer

Count your senders and your documents. Many senders with few documents a year points to signNow. A few senders with a steady flow of documents points to Dropbox Sign. Beyond price, signNow packs more features into its lower plans, while Dropbox Sign is simpler and sits next to your Dropbox files.

Both also sell e-signature APIs separately from their web plans. Dropbox Sign's API plans start lower and add bulk send and embedded signing on API Standard; signNow's API Professional plan comes with webhooks and 1,000 invites a year at its starting price.

What a four-person team pays

Four users on Dropbox Sign Standard are $100 a month on yearly billing, $1,200 a year, with unlimited requests. On signNow Business Premium, the same four people, or forty, pay $216 a year with annual billing, but share 100 invites a year between them. A team sending 50 documents a year wins on signNow; one sending 50 a week is likely better off on Dropbox Sign.

Where Dropbox Sign is stronger

• Unlimited signature requests on every paid plan, with no overages to plan around.
• A 30-day free trial. signNow's pricing page offers a free trial without saying how long, backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee.
• A cheaper API to start. API Essentials is $75 a month billed yearly for 50 requests a month.
• Dropbox, Google Drive and HubSpot integrations on every plan.

Where signNow is stronger

• Unlimited users at one account price.
• Unlimited templates on every plan, where Dropbox Sign stops at 15 on Standard.
• Its own mobile apps. Every plan includes iOS and Android apps, and its help center describes in-person signing in them.
• Payments and SMS. Business Premium adds payment collection, and Enterprise adds sending documents by SMS.

Both let you try before paying: Dropbox Sign with a 30-day trial, and signNow with a free trial backed by a 30-day money-back guarantee. Run the same three documents through each and see which your signers find easier.

Which to choose, by situation

• A twelve-person office signing a few HR forms a month: signNow, since everyone gets a seat for one price.
• A three-person sales team sending contracts daily: Dropbox Sign Standard, with no request counting.
• A business with dozens of document types: signNow, for unlimited templates.
• A team already organized in Dropbox: Dropbox Sign.

Mobile is another difference. signNow has its own iOS and Android apps with in-person signing. Dropbox Sign is reached through the general Dropbox app, which suits teams already using Dropbox on their phones.

Where SignMaster fits

SignMaster combines the unlimited parts of both: unlimited envelopes, like Dropbox Sign, and unlimited templates, like signNow, at one price for the team. Crew is $49 a month for 5 people with bulk send, branding, the API and webhooks, and in-person signing works on every plan with several signers in one envelope.

It doesn't collect payments, notarize or send texts, and there's no Android app. For row-by-row detail, read SignMaster vs Dropbox Sign and SignMaster vs signNow.
