Dropbox Sign vs SignNow pricing
Dropbox Sign and SignNow are both lower-priced alternatives to DocuSign. This page compares them using StackScope's e-signature report, last verified October 2026.
SignNow is cheaper for both individuals and teams. For one user, SignNow Business is $8 per month on annual billing ($20 monthly) against $10.05 ($15 monthly) for Dropbox Sign Essentials, though Dropbox Sign is cheaper billed monthly at that size. For teams, SignNow is $160 per month at 20 users on annual billing, against about $350 for Dropbox Sign Standard at $17.50 per user, which has a 2-user minimum. Dropbox Sign has an ongoing free plan with 3 signature requests per month, while SignNow has only a 7-day trial. SignNow's own pages say 100 envelopes per user per year while others advertise no cap, an unresolved conflict StackScope flags rather than resolves.
