## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-11 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, in order:
> 
> **1. Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign) - the default pick for most small businesses.** Around $15/user/mo on Essentials. It does one thing well: send a document, get it signed, get an audit trail. Clean interface your clients won't struggle with, templates, and it plugs into Google Workspace and Dropbox. If you just need signatures and don't want to think about it, start here.
> 
> **2. SignWell - the budget pick.** Starts around $10-12/mo, with a free tier for low volume. Nearly the same core signing experience as Dropbox Sign for less money. The tradeoff is a smaller company and fewer deep integrations, but for a solo operator or a 2-5 person shop sending a handful of contracts a month, it's the best value on the list.
> 
> **3. Zoho Sign - best if you're already in Zoho, or want cheap multi-user.** $10/user/mo Standard (25 envelopes each), $16/user/mo Professional for unlimited. There's a free tier at 5 envelopes/month. If you already run Zoho CRM/Books, it's basically free leverage; even if you don't, per-user pricing at this level is hard to beat once you have several senders.
> 
> **4. PandaDoc - if you send proposals and quotes, not just co
