<p data-end=”3972″ data-start=”3847″>E-signature software is now a standard business tool for contracts, approvals and customer-facing forms.</p>
<p data-end=”4203″ data-start=”3974″>Since the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce, or <a href=”https://www.techtarget.com/searchsecurity/definition/Electronic-Signatures-in-Global-and-National-Commerce-Act”>ESIGN</a>, Act passed in 2000 and set <a href=”https://www.techtarget.com/searchcontentmanagement/answer/Are-electronic-signatures-legally-binding”>legal requirements for e-signatures</a>, the market has shown no signs of slowing down. With legal frameworks in place and a mature vendor market, organizations now evaluate e-signature platforms less as a convenience tool and more as part of a broader <a href=”https://www.techtarget.com/searchcontentmanagement/tip/7-key-stages-of-enterprise-content-lifecycle-management”>document workflow</a>, compliance and customer-experience strategy.</p>
<p>E-signature software has various benefits for organizations, like improved performance and reduced costs. <a href=”https://www.techtarget.com/searchcontentmanagement/tip/How-to-build-a-successful-paperless-office-strategy”>Paper usage also decreases</a>, which is better for the environment, and e-signatures are convenient and avoid having users print out, sign, scan and mail documents.</p>
<p>However, not all e-signature software is the same. As organizations evaluate options, they should consider signing volume, integrations, workflow automation, <a href=”https://www.techtarget.com/searchcontentmanagement/tip/6-enterprise-content-management-best-practices-for-deployment”>compliance features</a>, mobile support and whether the software fits internal approvals, customer-facing transactions or both.</p>
<p>The unranked, alphabetical list of platforms below was created based on reports from leading analyst firms, such as Gartner and Forrester, and user reviews on G2 and Capterra, plus additional research by TechTarget editors.</p>

<h2 class=”section-title”><i class=”icon” data-icon=”1″></i>1. Adobe Acrobat Sign</h2>
<p>Most Adobe Acrobat users understand its e-signature capabilities, but full access to those features requires a purchase. <a href=”https://www.techtarget.com/searchcontentmanagement/definition/Adobe-Sign”>Adobe Acrobat Sign</a> lets recipients sign documents without downloading anything. Like other e-signature platforms, Adobe Acrobat Sign integrates with various tools, including Salesforce, Zoho CRM, SAP SuccessFactors, Microsoft and Box, among others.</p>
<p>Users can create digital forms on their websites and integrate Adobe Acrobat Sign for e-signatures. The software also offers a mobile app to scan and upload PDFs, along with customizable templates, notifications and reminders. Adobe Acrobat Sign is easy to use, has responsive customer support and simplifies how users upload a signature.</p>
<p>However, the mobile app can be clunky, and its features can overwhelm some users — making Adobe Acrobat Sign a better choice for enterprise customers. It also lacks integration capabilities beyond its existing choices.</p>
<p>Adobe Acrobat Sign’s pricing for the Acrobat Standard for teams starts at $14.99 per user monthly.</p>

<section class=”section main-article-chapter” data-menu-title=”2. Docusign”>
<h2 class=”section-title”><i class=”icon” data-icon=”1″></i>2. Docusign</h2>
<p>Docusign offers standalone eSignature plans as well as its broader Intelligent Agreement Management platform. Organizations that handle a high volume of contracts should distinguish between Docusign’s basic e-signature plans and its more advanced IAM suite. The software has a mobile-responsive web app to simplify how parties sign agreements. It also supports document routing to multiple parties and lets users create reusable templates with standard and customizable fields.</p>
<p>Docusign uses APIs to integrate with over 350 apps, including Microsoft, Salesforce, Zoom, SAP, Google and Oracle products. The platform is user-friendly, offers multilanguage support and enables visibility into who views and signs documents. However, users can’t download multiple documents at once with this tool, and it can’t integrate with other PDF apps.</p>
<p>When billed annually, Docusign’s standalone eSignature pricing starts at $10 per month for the Personal plan and $25 per user monthly for the Standard plan for small-to-medium-sized teams. Docusign’s IAM plans start at a higher price point, with IAM Starter at $40 per user monthly and IAM Standard at $45 per user monthly.</p>
