Considered Both Products
Foxit eSign
Chose Foxit eSign
Foxit is a lot more user friendly and has more usability then Adobe.
Chose Foxit eSign
Better value and ease of use for HIPAA compliance.
Chose Foxit eSign
I looked at other options such as DocuSign and they're fairly expensive. The decision to go with eSign Genie had a lot to do with pricing. Once I selected them I was happy with the choice.
Chose Foxit eSign
eSign Genie has all of the features we needed when compared to other services but at a price point that better suited for our budget.
Chose Foxit eSign
[eSign Genie] is much easier to complete and modify forms and the customer support is great.
Chose Foxit eSign
In terms of value, eSign Genie beats DocuSign. The only advantage DocuSign has is that they are integrated with various applications and browsers.
Chose Foxit eSign
DocuSign didn't allow free-hand signatures when we were looking for a digital signature provider.
Chose Foxit eSign
Easier to use, easier for client's to use, and less expensive for my needs[.]
Chose Foxit eSign
Adobe Sign, despite coming from one of the best known brands in software, is the most frustrating and poorly-supported platform I've ever used.

HelloSign and Pandadoc are good platforms - although the cost a bit more than eSignGenie, they are ahead on some features (not all)... …
Chose Foxit eSign
Ease of use and affordability separate [eSign Genie] from its competitors[.]
Chose Foxit eSign
eSign Genie was super easy to use and much more economical. It competes well with Adobe and accomplishes the same thing at a fraction of the cost. It took minutes to get this going.
Chose Foxit eSign
I dumped DocuSign because I could not get any customer service from them. They seem to work via email and consistently replied to EVERY customer service request I had with "We were unable to reach you so we will be closing this issue." After the third time they did this (with …
Chose Foxit eSign
I only compared this to DocuSign and the price difference is vast. Our small business can't afford the cost of DocuSign.
Chose Foxit eSign
Neither DocuSign or Adobe (echosign) offered all the features I needed like condition fields. Plus, with [their] inability to offer any real quality customer support switching was the best thing for us. Also, since eSign Genie was 75% less expensive [it] was an easy decision …
Chose Foxit eSign
eSign Genie made contacting customer support way easier than any other platform! I was able to get my questions answered and negotiate a contract within hours instead of weeks.
Chose Foxit eSign
I liked the variety of options that Adobe had for creating fields, checkboxes and the fact that you didn't have to have a coding field. For example you could create a checkbox {{[]}} with this type of coding, where eSign Genie requires a whole line of coding to get a checkbox …
Chose Foxit eSign
eSign Genie stacks up with Adobe Sign. I find that the functionality of eSign Genie is easier to navigate and I think the option to include a personal note or instruction. I'm not able to do that with Adobe Sign. The pricing is so much more reasonable for eSign Genie and I see …
Chose Foxit eSign
I have not used any other products like this. But, I am happy with eSign Genie and have no plans to change software for the company.
Chose Foxit eSign
The price point is better than other products and allows all the same features. The learning curve is low and there’s multi functional across the organization.
Chose Foxit eSign
We have used other e-sign platforms, but we have found that eSign Genie, although not a huge company, has performed well and met our needs on every level. I especially like how there is no monthly subscription, and we can have access to all input field types without having to …
Chose Foxit eSign
Best thing is the customer support, super quick and friendly and the good correlation of price/product.
Chose Foxit eSign
Seem less professional and harder to use, slightly less easy to use than DocuSign. The price is much better though and I've found it does just as well. Not sure how it stacks up legally-wise to DocuSign?
Chose Foxit eSign
We selected based in security and price. The others has high implementation fees as well
Jotform
Chose Jotform
Jotform works better for our small business with the excellent free features
Chose Jotform
Not used any other products besides Google Forms.
Chose Jotform
Jotform is easier for the customers to use. They don't require any plug-ins or special procedures to be able to fill out the form and send it back to us. Adobe was more steps, and didn't always work as we expected. Making changes to the forms were also difficult after the fact.
Chose Jotform
More question types, conditions, calculated fields.
Chose Jotform
Allows anyone to use this platform
Chose Jotform
Jotform is so much more versatile that Google Forms, which we originally used. Google Forms was blocked by some of our users, where we have not had that problem with Jotform.
Chose Jotform
Jotform is an all-inclusive platform. Google lacks the features, templates, and form fields that are crucial in a form builder for any business. The branding and customization is a level far above what Google offers. I wouldn't go back to Google after working with Jotform as I …
Chose Jotform
Jotform looks more professional when the form is complete, I like being able to have questions side by side and on cards, as opposed to the stacked option google forms provides. I also like the logo addition and customisation options on Jotform. But the main advantage over …
Chose Jotform
I think it's better than mailchimp. Similar to Zapier in that it's just very sleak and user friendly but Jotform even more so. Wix is awesome too to be fair but yeah I'd say Jotform is up there with all of these. Better than mailchimp which can be really frustrating for me. …
Chose Jotform
API integration is smooth and possibility of customization are really really complete. Above all also the final user does not have problem in using the form
Chose Jotform
Google Forms and Microsoft SharePoint
Chose Jotform
We just cannot compare. Jotform is way ahead of the others: much more customization, options, logic... Jotform is just way better.
Chose Jotform
Docusign is more well known for signing legal documents across large enterprise but it was difficult to setup and get started on. Compared to Docusign, Jotform was much easier to build, design and create our first form which we were able to embed on our website straight away. …
Chose Jotform
Jotform's free tier seems stronger than some of the entry-level tiers of other products, which is why we decided to test it.
Chose Jotform
Jotform vs Google
- Submissions are organized nicely in Jotform
- Jotform has creative freedom. Google doesn't have as many question options and editing abilities.
Chose Jotform
Jotform has so many more features to choose from when creating a form or survey and the way you get your data is unbeatable as far as it collecting it and putting it together to have and discuss the submissions. The basic free option is also better. You get way more submissions …
Chose Jotform
DigiSigner does not offer a free option.
Chose Jotform
Although Calendly excels in appointment scheduling, Jotform surpasses it by providing a comprehensive suite of features at an affordable rate, making it an ideal choice for emerging businesses looking to maximize value.
Chose Jotform
I have used Paperform which was hard to use and did not offer a free version. I have also tried Typeform but had to pay for the ability for my customers to upload a photo.
Chose Jotform
Jotform is abysmal and unintuitive compared to fillout.com. Its customer service is also abysmal. The feature set at Jotform is nothing special compared to alternatives. The service cost is on par with or more expensive than alternatives. There is no reason to use Jotform …
Chose Jotform
Jotform offers better integration where you can publicly list the form for anyone with a link can submit informaiton and we are able to get full PDF reports on those worksheets. Nothing currently does something as simple as this. Jotform's user experience is a whole lot better.

eSign Genie has completely streamlined our tedious document process and helps us to easily manage our documents from signature to delivery and even with ongoing storage. This enhancement saves us time, money, and headaches and has been a true lifesaver for our organization and for our customers. I highly recommend it!

  • Making changes to the documents is fast and easy.

  • The ease of use is my favorite part of the Jotform. You don't have to be an IT guru to use it, but the results of your creation will surely make people think you are.
  • Jotform keeps all my event request organized and accurate.
  • Editing forms is done with ease.

Cons
  • User documentation could be better.
  • Requiring the field coding to be hidden makes it difficult to make adjustments.
  • I'd like to see where customers are in the signing process - whether they've opened and viewed documents.
  • If the document has been delegated, seeing a clear trail of the paperwork with email addresses including in the tracking.

  • I would love for Jotform to offer an a la carte for some of the products like maybe we pay for more form views and submissions but not all the other stuff.
  • Flexibility in css.
  • More options in the name field, maybe I want the last name first or for it to be a full one entry box.
  • A phone number entry field.

The tool is inexpensive and good value. We don't need a ton of eSign capabilities and this one provides what we need for a low cost given our low volume.

It is very user-friendly and intuitive. The interface is very simple and straightforward. The elements are easily accessible even without having any prior knowledge of the interface. The customer support is incredibly awesome. They respond to you within 24-48hrs tops. They also provide a list of questions and answers that have already been asked.

Support Rating
eSign Genie has live chat support virtually twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. They also have phone and email support as well. On the few occasions that I have had to contact support, they were very helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. It's been a pleasure working with the folks at eSign Genie.

Their support is truly awful and negligent [in my opinion]. It's rare for me to get so mad as to write a review about it but given what we do, I think it's necessary to document it. We work in mental health and having client data [transmitted] through the API correctly can be a matter of life and death for someone in crisis. We have had repeated issues with this in JotForm and reset the integration multiple times and yet it continues. [In my experience] tags don't transmit, complete contacts are absent, or parts of data [are] missing despite being mapped. [Again, per my experience] their support will initially respond and then you hear nothing. It's been a huge issue and we are leaving them as a result. [I feel] it's truly infuriating and negligent.

There is no implementation at all. You just sign up, upload your documents, set up the fields to complete, and you are done!

Had to opt for Jotform to open in a separate window for some of my phones as being intergrated into my own site caused restricted viewing problems on some devices like mobiles.

Adobe Sign, despite coming from one of the best known brands in software, is the most frustrating and poorly-supported platform I've ever used. HelloSign and PandaDoc are good platforms - although the cost a bit more than eSignGenie, they are ahead on some features (not all)... depending on your exact use case, I'd consider them. However, for my simple use case, eSigngenie is the clear winner!

Compared to Google and Microsoft, Jotform has a lot more features. I particularly love the e-signature because it makes the form feel more trustworthy for our team.
When compared to the other form builders, it is frankly too expensive for us to use them, while Jotform has just enough features for casual users like us.

Return on Investment
  • Creating a document that is easy for a client to understand and complete is a game changer. We are already experiencing a higher document completion rate than when we were with either DocuSign or Adobe (echosign)
  • With the number of completed documents on the rise with our company, having the incredible pricing structure that eSign Genie offers is a huge money saver for us
  • Not having to spend so much time with clients explaining how to complete the forms is saving us huge in customer support cost.
Read full review
  • It saved me time. Within minutes I was able to create and share forms to collect demographic data.
  • While struggling to use another software, I thought of Jotform and it was able to assist me with collating the data I had to confirm results previously obtained.
  • I could not easily identify what new information was provided in a resubmission by a respondent.
