## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-06 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them:
> 
> **1. Dropbox Sign - best default for most small businesses.** Essentials is ~$15/mo for one user with *unlimited* signature requests, which is the single most important thing on this list. Clean UI, templates, audit trails, integrates with Dropbox and Google Workspace. If you send more than ~100 documents a year, this beats DocuSign on price by a wide margin. ([StackScored](https://www.stackscored.com/pricing/e-signature/), [PandaDoc comparison](https://www.pandadoc.com/blog/hellosign-vs-docusign/))
> 
> **2. SignWell - best if you're price-sensitive or low-volume.** Genuine free-forever tier (a few docs/month), Personal around $8-10/mo, business plans ~$12/mo. It does one job - legally binding signing - and doesn't try to sell you a contract lifecycle platform. Good pick for a solo consultant or a 2-5 person shop.

> 
> **3. DocuSign - pick it for counterparty trust, not for value.** Everyone recognizes it, and if you're sending contracts to banks, landlords, or enter
