SignNow	No — 7-day free trial onlyNo permanent free sending tier	Unresolved source conflict: flagged, not silently resolved.SignNow's own pricing/Help pages say 100 envelopes/user/year, and its March 2026 refund policy references overage charges past that limit — but other current SignNow resource pages advertise "no envelope cap."

Praised for ease of use, intuitive signing, templates, and time savings. No separately priced AI add-on found for Business. G2 matches the annual figures used here; Capterra matches the monthly figures and the $1.50/invite Site License rate.
