signNow vs DocuSign

The short answer

signNow is far cheaper for a team that signs occasionally, and it puts payments, signing links and bulk send on its mid-tier plan. DocuSign costs more but gives every user their own envelope allowance, signs in more languages and has the deeper integration catalog. The deciding question is how many documents your whole team sends in a year.

signNow and DocuSign side by side

Figures are US list prices from signNow's pricing, API pricing and help center pages and DocuSign's eSignature, developer, notary and languages pages, read on November 5, 2026. signNow's help center describes the invite allowance per user in places; its pricing page lists 100 invites a year on each plan, next to unlimited users.

What a five-person team pays

On signNow, five people cost the same as one: $216 a year on Business Premium with annual billing, or $360 a year on Enterprise. On DocuSign Standard, five users are $1,500 a year billed annually, or $1,800 if the annual plan is paid monthly. The catch is volume. signNow's plans include 100 invites a year for the whole account, while DocuSign's annual plans include up to 100 envelopes per user, 500 for five. A team sending 300 documents a year would outgrow signNow's allowance and, spread across five users, would stay inside DocuSign's.

Where signNow is stronger

• Price, especially for big teams. Every plan has unlimited users at one account price.
• More features lower down. Bulk send, payments and signing links all start on Business Premium, at $18 a month billed annually.
• Branding and SMS for the whole account. Enterprise adds custom branding and sending documents by SMS at $30 a month billed annually, however many users you have.
• Unlimited templates on every plan.

Where DocuSign is stronger

• Room to send. Each DocuSign user has an envelope allowance, so a busy team's capacity grows with its size.
• Languages. 44 signing languages against signNow's 24.
• An API on a buyable plan. Business Pro includes DocuSign's API, and standalone API plans start at $50 a month; signNow's full API access is on Site License, sold through its sales team, or its own API plans.
• Qualified signatures in Europe. DocuSign is a registered qualified trust service provider and sells qualified signatures as an add-on.

Which to choose, by situation

• A twenty-person office that signs a few documents a week: signNow, where everyone gets a seat for one account price.
• A five-person sales team sending contracts daily: DocuSign's per-user allowance grows with the team, while signNow's 100 invites a year are shared by the whole account.
• A business that collects a deposit at signing: signNow Business Premium takes payments; on DocuSign that's Business Pro.
• A team with signers abroad: DocuSign, for 44 signing languages and qualified signatures as an add-on.

Where SignMaster fits

SignMaster doesn't count invites or envelopes on paid plans. Crew is $49 a month for 5 people, with bulk send, branding, the API and webhooks included, and in-person signing on every plan. That makes it a fit for small teams that send every day and would outgrow signNow's allowance but don't want DocuSign's per-user bill.

SignMaster doesn't take payments, notarize or send text messages, and it has no Android app, so if you need those, signNow or DocuSign will serve you better. Compare row by row on SignMaster vs signNow and SignMaster vs DocuSign.
