Every price says which plan, billing term and currency it covers, and the date it was read. Legal and security statements are the providers' own words, attributed to them.",

    {
      "question": "How were these e-signature services chosen?",
      "answer": "Sixteen services were checked: DocuSign, Adobe Acrobat (its e-signature is sold inside the Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro for teams plans), Dropbox Sign, PandaDoc, SignNow, Zoho Sign, SignWell, Signeasy, Jotform Sign, Foxit eSign, BoldSign, Youtrust (formerly Yousign), Signaturely, DocuSeal, Documenso and Signable. The base rule, the same for all: the provider's own pricing page shows a price in US dollars for at least one paid plan that sends documents for electronic signature, which can be bought or started without a sales call or login, and the plan was on sale on 2026-11-10. All sixteen met it, which is more than this page holds, so one extra rule was applied to every service alike: the pricing page shows, in US dollars, a price of $20 or less per month for at least one paid plan billed month to month with no annual commitment stated. Nine met it: BoldSign, DocuSeal, DocuSign, Dropbox Sign, Signeasy, SignNow, SignWell, Youtrust and Zoho Sign. Seven were set aside by that rule: Adobe Acrobat (its teams plans are an annual commitment billed monthly or prepaid, with no month-to-month price), Documenso (prices shown for yearly billing only), Foxit eSign (priced per user per year only), Jotform Sign (Bronze is $39 per month billed monthly), PandaDoc (Starter is $35 per seat per month billed monthly), Signable (annual plans and a per-envelope rate, no month-to-month plan price) and Signaturely (Personal is $25 per month billed monthly). Adobe's quote-only Acrobat Sign Solutions is not a self-serve plan and was not counted. Youtrust's dollar prices come from a currency selector on its page. The rule is a published-price test, not a judgment of quality, and it does not say which service costs least; every service set aside was researched in full so it can be swapped in. The page does not rank them. Prices change often."
    },
    {
      "question": "Where do the prices and statements come from?",
      "answer": "Each provider's own pricing page and linked help, security and compliance pages, in US dollars where shown, read on 2026-11-10. Each price says the plan, the billing term and any promotion, first-term or struck-through price, with the regular price beside it where the page shows one. Several pages build prices with scripts or refuse plain requests, so they were read in a browser, and billing switches and currency selectors were changed only to read other displayed prices. Statements about laws, security and certifications are the providers' own words and are attributed to them; this page does not say whether any service meets any law and gives no legal advice. Check the provider before you buy."
    },
    {
      "question": "Why is there no monthly-billing tag?",
      "answer": "Every service listed shows a month-to-month price of $20 or less, because the extra rule requires it, so a tag for monthly billing would not separate them. The Entry paid plan price and Billing terms rows show each monthly and yearly price and any commitment the page states."
    },
    {
      "question": "What does \"Not publicly stated\" mean?",
      "answer": "The provider's pages did not say. It does not mean the answer is no."
