BoldSign is much less expensive than DocuSign with very similar features.

I'm not aware of any other products by Syncfusion.
Chose BoldSign, by Syncfusion®
They all have similar features, but BoldSign stands out for its simplicity and ease of use. Adobe has a business model where they are sending you ads while you are using the system and the truth is that it tends to be a bit annoying and distracting at times. I didn't like the …

Chose BoldSign, by Syncfusion®
The price-performance ratio is better with BoldSign. If I want to scale up to the next level and then go back, I can do it easily with BoldSign, unlike Adobe, for example. If you want to try another application, that's fine. They all do the same thing. In my experience, the …

Docusing don't offer an iFrame.
Customsing documents for signature with DocuSign is a nightmare.
DocuSign customer service is terrible, as bad as Microsoft...
Chose BoldSign, by Syncfusion®
Our company uses BoldSign over its competitors because of its ease of use and functionality for the manner in which we employ it. We can quickly upload documents that need execution and get them circulated to all parties immediately to do so. This saves us tremendous amounts of …
Chose BoldSign, by Syncfusion®
It met all my needs at no cost. We only needed a basic service. BoldSign more than met our needs and did so securely and efficiently.
Chose BoldSign, by Syncfusion®
Much easier to work with and support is much better. In my experience, Docusign is just not an easy company to deal with. And, in my experience, whenever we tried to add a particular feature in our integration, Docusign would force us to upgrade to some higher level. I found …
Chose BoldSign, by Syncfusion®
These competitors provide mediocre and feature-bloated offerings that are simply a pain to use. For example, building templates in the aforementioned tools is like pulling teeth. The editor is finicky. BoldSign, by contrast is simple and generally intuitive, thereby making it …
Chose BoldSign, by Syncfusion®
It's more intuitive for using.
Chose BoldSign, by Syncfusion®
Pricing is great and the functionality is the same. I have not really used Docusign or Panda Doc that much so I can not really do a great comparison.
Chose BoldSign, by Syncfusion®
BoldSign keeps digital signing simple and easy. DocuSign is bloated and incredibly expensive and too complex for signing documents required by a small business like mine.
Chose BoldSign, by Syncfusion®
I think it is just as easy to use, but it is a lot more cost-effective. I also like BoldSign, by Syncfusion® has my company logo.
Formstack Sign
Chose Formstack Sign
Better functionality at a much more acceptable price. With Formstack, if we have issues (very rare) we can actually get a hold of someone - not so much with DocuSign.
Chose Formstack Sign
InsureSign intergrates with my customer management software. InsureSign has a better price. InsureSign has a better online system for the entire process.
Chose Formstack Sign
We initially chose InsureSign because of their specific focus on the insurance industry, which convinced us they would be most familiar with the types of documents we need signed.

BoldSign, by Syncfusion®Formstack Sign
Likelihood to Recommend
BoldSign is perfect for the small business or startup that needs a legally-binding solution to digitally sign contracts/agreements between 2 parties or more. It's no frills and super easy to use, and requires no training to understand how to use. BoldSign is less appropriate for organisations that require complex integrations and automation capabilities for their digital signature solution.

Cons
  • It would be great if BoldSign saved my signature in my account to use each time
  • It might be easier if you could select signature (or any heading for that matter) and click where you want it instead of dragging it to where you want it.
  • It would be nice if completed document’s automatically saved to a selected folder for safe keeping.

  • While it's not a flaw specific to InsureSign I've found when multiple signatures are required using e-signing programs can prove more challenging particularly from the standpoint some clients (i.e. - husband & wife) may share one email account and these programs require a separate email account for each signer.
  • It would be useful to have an email prompt to the agent if a user hasn't signed within a specified time frame that enables the agent to send a personalized follow up message to the intended recipient.

Great product. Great price. Free for up to 25 signatures for one persons account. Having a group using it under one account is even a great price. Much cheaper than all the alternatives out there and does the same stuff the others do

Usability
Very straight forward to use and customers understand the service. No questions or need for me to explain. The free tier is amazing and has locked me in as a customer for when we're big enough to need the paid version.

Return on Investment
  • So far I have only used the free version
  • I am sure that the paid version would be extremely beneficial if you did a bunch of contracts. I just started using the program, so not too many contracts yet. If I need to upgrade my subscription, the price will be well worth it.
