SignNow
SignNow is airSlate's e-signature tool: Send documents, get legally binding signatures, significantly more affordable than DocuSign.
SignNow is an e-signature tool from US provider airSlate: upload documents, place signature fields, send, and have them legally signed. It positions itself as a significantly more affordable alternative to market leader DocuSign.
Typical use cases include offers, employment contracts, NDAs, and orders that would otherwise go through the print-scan-email cycle. Useful features include templates for recurring documents, signing links without requiring a recipient account, and integration with Google Workspace and Salesforce; it also includes fillable form fields before signing. Plans start at $8 per user per month.
DocuSign is the more recognized standard with a larger ecosystem, but it costs several times more. SignNow appears less polished in some areas. For qualified electronic signatures under eIDAS, such as for fixed-term employment contracts, you need to carefully check what your plan actually covers.
Ideal for SMEs that regularly need standard documents signed and don't want to pay DocuSign prices. If you primarily require qualified signatures under EU law, compare with European providers like Skribble or Yousign beforehand.
