BoldSign is much less expensive than DocuSign with very similar features.
Chose BoldSign, by Syncfusion®
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 …

Boldsign is less expensive and easier to implement with its easy to use interface
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.
Zoho Sign
Chose Zoho Sign
Price is important but it has all the same features as some of the main brand names on the market which makes this package ideal for small businesses and larger ones looking at costs. The advantage we find is that we can edit forms with drop-down boxes and preset answers for …
Chose Zoho Sign
Before using Zoho Sign, we simply send out PDFs and had our partners and clients sign them and send them back. Obviously, Zoho Sign stacks pretty high against that because of how professional it is, how much simpler it is for us to use, and how much time it saves us.
Chose Zoho Sign
Docusign seems to be more commonly used and often times clients will ask if we can use that as opposed to Zoho Sign.
Chose Zoho Sign
I was a paid subscriber to Adobe prior to using Zoho, and found their solution expensive and inflexible. DocuSign may be the market leader, but Zoho fits better into our overall needs, especially since it integrates well with our other Zoho products.

BoldSign, by Syncfusion®Zoho 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.

If your business needs an electronic signing software, then I recommend Zoho Sign because it has all the great features. It ensures fast and secure document signing and, most importantly, it is legally binding.

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.

  • It integrates from sign to the CRM (in that order) poorly. To have the doc associated with the contact it can ONLY come from the CRM.

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

The advantage we find is that we can edit forms with drop-down boxes and preset answers for the forms.

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.

  • Allowed us to appear more more professional by sending out a fillable document instead of emailing a PDF.
  • Saved us time by sending automated reminders to recipients reminding them to sign the document.
