How SignThis and Jotform Sign differ
A form builder that signs, or a signing service
Jotform’s plans are built around forms: Bronze includes 25 forms and 1,000 monthly submissions alongside its 100 signed documents. If you collect information with forms and also need signatures, one Jotform plan may replace two tools. If you only send documents to be signed, SignThis’s plans cover just that and nothing more.
The free plans
Jotform’s free Starter plan includes 10 signed documents a month, and its forms and signed documents carry Jotform branding until you pay. SignThis’s free plan sends 3 documents a month, with no payment card and no end date, and each completed document is sealed and comes with an audit certificate, as on a paid plan.
Starting prices
Jotform Bronze costs $39 a month, or $34 billed annually, for 100 signed documents a month. SignThis Basic costs $8 a month for 6 documents a month, and Professional costs $25 a month for 200 documents a year, both with no annual commitment. For a handful of documents a month, SignThis costs less; at a hundred a month, Bronze includes more than any SignThis individual plan.
What a signed document carries
SignThis seals each completed PDF with a digital signature and an RFC 3161 timestamp, adds an audit certificate, and lets anyone check a copy on its verify page without uploading it. It encrypts documents and personal details with AES-256-GCM before storing them, and the site carries no advertising trackers or tracking pixels in emails.
Where Jotform Sign is the better choice
Jotform Sign does things SignThis doesn’t. It may suit you better if:
- You collect information with forms as well as signatures, and want one plan for both.
- You want ready-made documents to start from: Jotform lists more than 1,000 Jotform Sign templates.
- You need more free signed documents: Jotform’s Starter plan includes 10 a month.
- You need HIPAA-enabled features: Jotform lists them from Gold. SignThis offers no HIPAA business associate agreement today.
- You want a mobile app, or a document embedded on your website that visitors can sign.
- You want approval flows, or signed documents saved to cloud storage automatically.
SignThis suits someone who doesn’t need a form builder and wants each signed document to come back sealed, timestamped and checkable. The free plan sends 3 documents a month, and Basic costs $8 a month with no annual commitment.
Common questions
Is Jotform Sign included in every Jotform plan?
Jotform’s pricing page lists a monthly limit of signed documents on each plan, from 10 on the free Starter plan to 1,000 on Gold, so signing comes with the plan rather than as a separate purchase.
Does SignThis have forms like Jotform?
No. SignThis places fields on a PDF you upload, such as signatures, initials, dates, names and text, which signers fill in as they sign. It doesn’t build web forms or collect submissions.
Can I put my own brand on the signing pages?
Jotform removes its branding on paid plans. On SignThis, your logo, name and color on the signing pages, and your own thank-you note, are part of Business Professional.
Do signers need an account?
Not with SignThis. Each signer gets a personal email link and signs in the browser on a phone or computer, with nothing to install.
How much does SignThis cost?
The free plan sends up to 3 documents a month, with no payment card and no end date. Paid plans start at $8 a month for 6 documents a month ($5 for a new subscriber’s first month), billed monthly with no annual commitment. Business plans start at $30 a seat a month, with a 12-month commitment, billed monthly. See every plan and its limits.
