signNow

airSlate e-signature app with templates, bulk send and an API

signNow is a contracts & e-signature tool for Small businesses and Enterprise, offered as paid ($20/mo). Based in United States, founded in 2011. Popular alternatives include BoldSign, DocHub, Nitro PDF.

About signNow

signNow (also styled airSlate SignNow) is an electronic signature platform owned by airSlate, a Boston-based document automation company. It was founded in 2011 in Newport Beach, California, by Chris Hawkins, bought by Barracuda Networks in 2013 and sold in 2017 to PDFfiller, which renamed itself airSlate in 2019. Its core job: send a document for signature and get back a signed copy with a full audit trail.

Beyond basic signing, signNow offers reusable templates with fillable and conditional fields, signing order by role, shareable signing links, web forms, bulk sending, payment collection, SMS delivery and password or two-factor signer authentication. Business covers core sending, Business Premium adds bulk send, signing links and payments, Enterprise adds branding, SMS and conditional fields, and the per-invite Site License adds the API, SSO and premium integrations.

signNow fits small and mid-sized businesses that send a steady stream of standard agreements and want DocuSign-level basics for much less money. It is weaker on contract lifecycle features, and the editor feels dated next to newer tools. DocuSign remains the safer choice for regulated enterprises and complex routing, Dropbox Sign has a cleaner interface and simpler API, and PandaDoc is better when proposals and quotes matter as much as signatures.

Read the invite limits before you buy. Annual plans include 100 signature invites a year and monthly plans 10 a month; extra invites are pay-as-you-go. Annual billing cuts Business from $20 to $8 a month, and the Site License starts at $1.50 per invite.

Our take
