Elkin Edgardo Gómez García General Manager 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.

In my experience, the … Incentivized Helpful? EL Ezequiel Lowi R&D Lead Chose BoldSign, by Syncfusion® Docusing don't offer an iFrame. Customsing documents for signature with DocuSign is a nightmare.

Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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 … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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.

Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous 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. Incentivized Helpful? JX Jason Xu Founder Chose BoldSign, by Syncfusion® BoldSign keeps digital signing simple and easy.

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.

User Testimonials
	BoldSign, by Syncfusion®	SignRequest, now part of Box
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. Incentivized Jason Xu Founder 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	BoldSign was incredibly easy to pickup and start using. The UX was very intuitive and required no training or guidance. BoldSign's signed contracts repository is a very easy-to-access and navigate system to store and access all our signed documents. BoldSign customer support has always been incredibly responsive and helpful. Incentivized Jason Xu Founder 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. Incentivized Becky Burgess Founder & CEO Read full review
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. 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
Likelihood to Renew	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 Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
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. Incentivized KR Kevin Rodriguez Director 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!

Performance	No issues with performance. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Support Rating	At the beginning I had a question so I emailed them. Response was super quick. Other then that I have not had to contact them for any help. System is easy to use Verified User Anonymous Read full review	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.

Implementation Rating	Very easy...I was able to start using it immediately. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
Alternatives Considered	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 ease of use, sourcing and functionality was perfect with BoldSign. NH Nadia Huerta Sales Manager 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.

Scalability	Not sure as I don't have a need to scale. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	No answers on this topic
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. 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.
