Overview

Dropbox Sign, formerly HelloSign, sends, receives and manages electronic signatures on documents.

A separate API product embeds the signing experience into another application.

Best for: Teams that need legally binding eSignatures with templates, tracking and an embeddable API.
Pricing: Essentials from £11.67 per month billed yearly (£140/year), Standard from £20 per user per month (£480/year), Premium by custom quote; the API starts at $100 per 50 requests a month.
Runs on: Web
