Free e-signature tools compared
Of the tools below, Paraph is the only one whose free plan has no monthly limit on signature requests. DocuSign and Adobe have no free plan, and the others cap theirs at a few documents. Each has things Paraph doesn’t, and each comparison says what they are.

What the table leaves out
Price is the difference Paraph was built around, and it isn’t the only one. The larger tools have APIs, integrations and, in some cases, advanced and qualified signatures, and Paraph has none of those yet. If you need one of them, the comparison pages say which tool has it.
Paraph provides simple electronic signatures, which cover most business contracts in the UK, the EU and the US. It isn’t for deeds, wills or anything that needs a witness.
