How SignThis and signNow differ
Users and invites
A signNow plan covers unlimited users in one account, and they share one allowance of signature invites: 10 a month on monthly plans or 100 a year on annual plans, after which invites are charged one by one. SignThis individual plans are for one person, and business plans are priced per seat, with 100 documents a year per seat on Business Starter and unlimited sending, subject to fair use, from Business Standard.
Monthly or annual billing
signNow’s lowest price is $8 a month on an annual plan; billed monthly, the same plan costs $20. SignThis has no annual plan for individuals. Basic is $8 a month, less than signNow’s monthly price, billed monthly with no annual commitment, for 6 documents a month.
API pricing
signNow sells its API separately from its e-signature plans: a free test mode, a trial with 250 signature invites, then Professional from $84 a month billed annually for 500 invites a year. SignThis’s API, signed webhooks and MCP server are part of Professional, at $25 a month for 200 documents a year, billed monthly.
What everyone gets back
signNow lists completion certificates and audit trails. A completed SignThis document is sealed with a digital signature and an RFC 3161 timestamp, comes with an audit certificate, and can be checked on the verify page without uploading it. SignThis encrypts documents and personal details with AES-256-GCM before storing them, and its site carries no advertising trackers.
Where signNow is the better choice
signNow does things SignThis doesn’t. It may suit you better if:
- Several people share one account: every signNow plan includes unlimited users.
- You send in bulk or share signing links: Business Premium adds bulk send, signing links and scheduled sending.
- You collect payments with documents, or send them by text message: payments start on Business Premium, and sending by SMS on Enterprise.
- You want mobile apps: signNow has apps for iOS and Android, while SignThis runs in the browser.
- You work in a regulated field: signNow’s pricing page lists HIPAA, 21 CFR Part 11 and PCI DSS. SignThis offers no HIPAA business associate agreement today.
- You need more checks and logic: Enterprise adds advanced signer authentication, conditional fields and approval workflows.
SignThis suits a person or a small team that wants to pay month to month, send a modest number of documents, and give every signer a sealed copy they can check. The free plan sends 3 documents a month, and paid plans start at $8 a month.
Common questions
Is signNow the same as airSlate SignNow?
Yes. signNow is made by airSlate, and its pricing pages use both names.
What happens when I reach my plan’s limit?
SignThis has no overage charges: a send beyond your plan’s allowance shows the plans that cover it. On signNow, invites beyond the allowance are charged pay-as-you-go, according to its pricing page.
Can a whole team use one SignThis plan?
Individual plans are for one person. A team uses a business plan, priced per seat: Business Starter costs $30 a seat a month with 100 documents a year per seat and a 12-month commitment, billed monthly, and adds workspace roles, an audit log and single sign-on.
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.
