SignNow Review 2026: Pricing, Pros, Cons and Alternatives

SignNow, sold by airSlate, prices e-signature the opposite way from DocuSign. Its paid plans charge a flat fee per account, let you add as many users as you like, and then meter how many signature requests the whole account sends. Whether that is a bargain depends almost entirely on your volume, not your headcount.

Techpresso data: for a 3-person team sending 300 signature requests a year on annual billing, SignNow Business comes to $288 (the plan plus 200 extra invites at $0.96), against $180 on BoldSign Growth, $684 on PandaDoc Starter and $900 on either DocuSign Standard or Dropbox Sign Standard. Drop the volume to 100 requests and spread them over 10 users, and SignNow Business costs $96 a year while DocuSign Standard costs $3,000. That is our arithmetic on prices read on each vendor's pricing page on November 4, 2026.

How we compared: we read SignNow's pricing page, its help center articles on invite limits, free seats and refunds, then the pricing pages of DocuSign, Dropbox Sign, PandaDoc and BoldSign the same day. We did not send documents through these tools, so this review covers plans, limits and cost, not signing speed. The best e-signature software ranking covers the wider field.

SignNow is a web and mobile e-signature service for sending documents, collecting legally binding signatures and keeping an audit trail. Recipients sign on any desktop or phone without an account, and senders get templates, signing order, reminders, unlimited document storage and iOS and Android apps on every paid plan.

The plan ladder adds workflow features rather than capacity. Business Premium adds bulk send, reusable signing links, payment collection, scheduled sending, shared team folders and team reports. Enterprise adds custom branding, SMS delivery, signer authentication by password, SMS or phone call, formula and conditional fields, and approval workflows, with a HubSpot integration as an add-on.

Site License is the usage-priced top tier, from $1.50 per signature invite with volume discounts. It is the only plan with full API access, premium integrations such as Salesforce, NetSuite and Microsoft Dynamics 365, SSO, phone support and industry compliance for HIPAA and 21 CFR Part 11. SignNow lists SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and eIDAS compliance, with qualified and advanced electronic signatures reserved for Site License.

Everything turns on the signature invite. SignNow counts one invite per request sent, however many documents or signers it contains. One document to two signers is one invite, and a group of five documents sent to three signers is still one. SMS invites, kiosk signing and signing a template from the mobile app count too, and a canceled invite is not returned to your balance.

Some actions are free. Reminders, resending, forwarding and replacing a signer do not use your allowance, and neither does signing a document yourself. Signing links are counted only when the signer finishes, which makes them the cheapest way to collect one-off signatures from a web page.

The allowance is shared, and it does not roll over. SignNow's help center describes 100 invites a year per user, but with free seats the usage is pooled across the subscription, and the pricing page states it as 100 per account. Unused invites reset each billing year. Once the pool is spent, SignNow bills extra invites automatically in blocks and runs a month-end check that charges any 10 or more unpaid invites, emailing you before and after each charge.

If a charge fails, Invite to Sign is blocked until the payment goes through, so keep a working card on file before a busy month. Self-serve paid accounts also have a daily cap of 100 invites, 100 documents and 100 emails, which matters only for bulk campaigns.

Prices were checked on November 4, 2026 on SignNow's pricing page, its invite limits article, free seats article and refund policy, with DocuSign pricing, Dropbox Sign pricing, PandaDoc pricing and BoldSign pricing read the same day.

On annual billing SignNow costs a flat amount per account. Business is $8 a month, Business Premium $15 and Enterprise $30, all billed annually, or $96, $180 and $360 a year by our arithmetic. The plan cards show $20, $30 and $50 as the higher rate without the annual discount and state yearly savings of $144, $180 and $240. Monthly plans swap the yearly pool for 10 invites a month, which suits a team that wants to test SignNow before committing.

The overage rates are the part to model. Business charges $0.96 per extra invite, Business Premium $1.80 and Enterprise $3.60, so upgrading for features also raises the cost of every invite past 100. A team on Enterprise that sends 300 invites a year pays $360 for the plan and $720 in overage, $1,080 in total, our arithmetic. At that volume Site License, from $1.50 per invite with no seat fee, is worth a sales call.

DocuSign is the obvious comparison. On annual billing its Personal plan is $10 a month with 5 envelopes a month, while Standard costs $25 and Business Pro $40 per user a month, each with 100 envelopes per user per year. DocuSign shows some visitors a different price lineup. DocuSign's allowance grows with every seat you buy, while SignNow's stays at 100 however many users you add.

Refunds: self-serve subscribers can ask for one within 30 days of the first payment, and access ends once it is issued. Overage charges are never refunded, and neither are plans bought through SignNow's sales team. Plans renew automatically on the last day of the subscription period.

SignNow suits teams where many people need a login but few documents go out: a school office, a property manager with several agents, an HR team that sends offer letters a few times a month. Seat-free pricing means hiring or adding a seasonal helper never changes the bill, and Business covers the basics for less than one DocuSign Personal seat.

Business Premium is the plan to pick if you need bulk send or signing links on a public page. Enterprise makes sense only if custom branding or conditional fields are requirements, because it has the highest overage rate, which makes extra volume expensive.

Skip SignNow if one or two people send hundreds of agreements a year. BoldSign includes far more envelopes per user, and Dropbox Sign or PandaDoc remove the cap entirely. Sales teams that build proposals should read DocuSign vs PandaDoc, and anyone sending only a handful of documents should check the free e-signature plans first.
