What does SignNow do?

Tool: SignNow

Their Pitch

Electronic signature for your entire organization.

It's digital signatures that actually work on mobile and don't charge per document like DocuSign.

Deep Dive & Reality Check

+**Emailing PDFs back and forth for weeks with no signatures** → One link, auto-reminders, signed docs stored automatically
+**Sales reps manually following up on 20 pending contracts** → Dashboard shows what's signed, what's stuck, who needs a nudge
+**HR onboarding packets taking forever because new hires can't figure out the signing process** → Mobile-friendly signing that works offline, syncs when connected
+Bulk sending contracts to 50+ people at once - no copying/pasting email addresses
+Payment requests embedded in contracts - sign and pay in one flow

>Your sales team is burning through DocuSign's document limits and the overage fees are getting stupid
>You're chasing people to print, sign, and scan contracts like it's 2005
>Need signatures on phones but your current tool makes mobile signing a nightmare

-Solo freelancers or tiny teams under 10 people — you're paying full enterprise pricing even for light usage
-Companies needing heavy customization or complex compliance workflows — this is built for simplicity, not enterprise complexity
-Anyone wanting a free option — no free tier, just a 14-day trial then you pay

*Google Drive (where your unsigned contracts live before you upload them to SignNow)
*Slack (where your team gets pinged when contracts are finally signed)
*HubSpot (to track which deals are stuck waiting for signatures)
*Stripe (to process the payments embedded in your signed contracts)
*Dropbox (for automatic storage of completed documents)
*Salesforce (to update deal status when contracts come back signed)

!The "qualified e-signature" feature (for legal compliance) requires extra ID verification steps that slow down high-volume signing
!Mobile app is solid but you're still dependent on email notifications to track progress
!Unlimited users sounds great until you realize you're paying full price even if half your team never uses it

DocuSign for teams who got tired of paying $15 per envelope and want unlimited signatures.
