Dropbox Sign** - My default starting point for a small business that just needs contracts signed. Free tier (3 docs/month) to test with zero commitment, then ~$15/user/month for unlimited documents and templates. Clean signing experience for your clients, which matters more than feature count. Obvious pick if you're already on Dropbox.\n\n**2. SignWell** - Best price-to-value if you're a one- or two-person operation. Free for 3 docs/month, then about $10/month for one user with *unlimited* documents - cheaper than DocuSign's entry plan while removing the envelope cap that bites small businesses. $30-36/month for team plans.\n\n**3. Zoho Sign** - The one I'd name if you want room to grow cheaply: $10/user/month (25 envelopes), $16/user/month for unlimited. Unbeatable if you use anything else in the Zoho ecosystem (CRM, Books, Mail) since it wires in natively.\n\n**4. DocuSign** - The \"nobody questions it\" choice. If you're signing with banks, landlords, enterprise clients, or law firms, the brand recognition genuinely reduces friction.
