Considered Both Products	Annature Verified User Anonymous Chose Annature Better customer service experience and billing experience with Annature. Docusign was not a good experience at all, which is why we moved and also why past businesses I have worked at have also moved to Annature. Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Annature Annature is extremely easy and convenient to use, the range of options and features provided have made it that Annature exceeds that of the other products previous used by our organisation. We previous tested and trialled other ways of electronic signature but Annature proved … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Annature Annature is vastly superior than Docusign and Adobe Acrobat sign. The signing experience is superb. The dashboard holds all the information you would need and want. The customisation is good. As important as all of this is the transparent pricing model. Pay as you go. Unlikely … Incentivized Helpful?	SignRequest, now part of Box CS Christine Sako Head of Internal Ops and BI Chose SignRequest, now part of Box SignRequest is far and away more afforable than its competitors. Their support is also very responsive and willing to make improvements whereas its competitors seem to be a bit more unapproachable as far as their support goes. I have been able to resolve billing and reporting … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SignRequest, now part of Box Friendly interface, affordable costs, easy to understand and use, personalized language. You can manage users, templates and documents. Incentivized Helpful? Ben Caplan Risk Manager, and Insurance Agent Chose SignRequest, now part of Box I haven't used this in my role, but as a customer, I have used this program and it was nice. The pricing model, however, is far outside the reach for most small businesses. This is why I didn't consider Adobe Sign when trying to find a solution that meets our business needs. Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Veil Marketing Broker Chose SignRequest, now part of Box Less money and easier to set up than more well-branded e-signature platforms. Unlimited contracts on paid plans, which is a lot more than any other e-signature software I've used before. And under the free plan, you can get 15 contracts signed with limited features. For smaller … Incentivized Helpful? Carter Durham Chief Creative Officer and Head of Product Chose SignRequest, now part of Box When I started this company in 2017, I looked for alternative solutions to getting e-signatures on business documents but never found anything that met our needs well until I encountered SignRequest. At this point we've been using it so long that I honestly can't remember the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SignRequest, now part of Box We actually ended up switching to HelloSign after about three months. The main reason was the depth of the Salesforce integration that we needed to have. SignRequest is a really top-notch product for the market they play in. Small businesses especially will be able to use the … Incentivized Helpful? FS Fred Saunders Agent Chose SignRequest, now part of Box Annual rates with SignRequest were very affordable. Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Finneran Product Manager Chose SignRequest, now part of Box They have an unlimited free plan. In other words, you can sign as many documents as you want for free each month. The others (last I checked) limited your total number of signed docs on the freemium plan. That's certainly nice. SignRequest's upgrades come from more features … Incentivized Helpful? Robin Bull Dark Countess of Communication / CEO Chose SignRequest, now part of Box SignRequest is actually easier to use than SigningHub. It's much easier to just go to wherever you need a signature in the document and add the field. It's also got a cleaner interface, in my opinion, which makes it easier to figure out what's going on. I think that for someone … Incentivized Helpful? Matthew Mullane Integrative Medicine Fellow, St. Anthony North Health Campus Chose SignRequest, now part of Box SignRequest is easier and quicker to use, integrates into Google services, and really is a smooth process overall. I found the other e-sign product I've used to be less user-friendly, and perhaps more dated in its design. With the other product I tried, there were several … Incentivized Helpful? Darrell McTague Fitness Director Chose SignRequest, now part of Box I think SignRequest offers more and more powerful customization options thank competitors. I wasn't a fan of the user interface and usability when trying to customize documents on competitors' products, but SignRequest was easy. I also like SignRequest's template functionality … Incentivized Helpful? Carolyn Eckman Business Owner Chose SignRequest, now part of Box Unlike Adobe Acrobat DC, SignRequest is actually designed to request signatures and presents itself as such to my clients. DocuSign is not as user-friendly and approachable as SignRequest in my opinion. Even the free version of SignRequest offers more options and functionality … Incentivized Helpful? Becky Burgess Founder & CEO Chose SignRequest, now part of Box Adobe Acrobat left me frustrated and annoyed. I was wasting hours each week trying to upload contracts and agreements and customize them for each client. It never sent right and ended up being more frustrating for us and our clients in the end. So I tested some other tools … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SignRequest, now part of Box Adobe Sign (formerly EchoSign), DocuSign and Zoho Sign Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose SignRequest, now part of Box DocuSign is used in other areas of our business (client contracts, MSAs, SOWs, etc.) because it integrates with Salesforce and because we are a partner.

User Testimonials
	Annature	SignRequest, now part of Box
Likelihood to Recommend	Annature is very well suited to sending envelopes to clients when signatures are provided, it also allows for two factor authentication to improve the security of sensitive information and documents. The ability to enable signing order has also proved very effective and easy when multiple parties are required to sign. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	It's great for a law firm--especially ours which is paperless--and for any business that needs reviews and signatures constantly. I have recommended it to courts, my general contractor working on our house, and to other law firms that have a hard time getting us their clients' signatures. I think most businesses would benefit from SignRequest! Incentivized R. Melissa Masoom Senior Associate Attorney Read full review
Pros	Verification via two factors. Signature and other field options. Ease of use. User-friendly for the client. Ability to recall and modify. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	SignRequest is extremely user-friendly and its interface is smooth and straightforward. It takes the guesswork out of sending contracts and agreements online for review and signatures. SignRequest is easy to set up and customize. I truly like how well its setup is structured. I've had zero issues uploading documents and customizing them. SignRequest also allows you to save documents and use over and over. I really liked this feature as we send a lot of a similar contract out to our clients. We are able to change the amount and tweak the client information quickly and streamline the process. SignRequest sends a final signed document after reach party signs it. I like adding this final PDF to our invoices when we send it out so our clients can keep a digital record of our agreements.

Cons	Add greater functionality Integrate with other platforms to enhance experience Improve speed of loading features Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Clunky UI when filling in documents that require long-form responses. (Doesn't allow for entering of multiple lines at one time; lots of clicks required to complete a document with many fields) In the free version, can only send one document at a time Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	It is incredibly user-friendly and very easy to learn on the go without specific training. There are a lot of step-by-step guides that help you learn how to use the product, but it's intuitive, and I cannot fault it. I knew it entirely on my own with no guidance; I followed the instructions via the website and figured it out as I went along. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	I have found it easy to use and self-explanatory from day one. I love how clear and easy it is to use since I am not techy! Incentivized Meredith Brough Business Owner and Coach Read full review
Support Rating	No answers on this topic	Easy to understand supporting documents with a great search feature to easily find the information I need for legal purposes, API connections, how to connect Gmail or G Suite, along with the ability to send a message to them. They don't seem to have an online chat feature or a call option, but that's why it's so inexpensive. Since it's already easy to use, it takes less time to find out information. Incentivized Matthew Veil Marketing Broker Read full review
Alternatives Considered	Better customer service experience and billing experience with Annature. DocuSign was not a good experience at all, which is why we moved and also why past businesses I have worked at have also moved to Annature. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	When I started this company in 2017, I looked for alternative solutions to getting e-signatures on business documents but never found anything that met our needs well until I encountered SignRequest. At this point we've been using it so long that I honestly can't remember the specific names of other products or vendors.

Return on Investment	Better value than some other esignature prodivers (DocuSign) Improved turnaround times for signatures ensuring faster sales and service times. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	We ended up switching vendors after about 3 months due to CRM integration with Salesforce not meeting our needs. The cost was low enough where we did not feel it would be overly expensive with a growing sales team. It allowed us to quickly get set up, and get e-signed contracts out to customers.
