Looking for a DocuSign alternative?
DocuSign: The best-known name in e-signatures, with a wide range of integrations and enterprise features.
- Best for
- Large companies that need deep integrations, admin controls and a name everyone knows.
- Worth knowing
- Paid plans count envelopes: 5 a month on Personal and 100 a user a year on Standard and Business Pro, according to its pricing page. Team plans are charged per user, which adds up when several people need to send.
- FD Sign may suit you better if
- You send a handful of contracts a month and want them signed properly without watching an envelope count.
Looking for a HelloSign alternative?
Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign): Simple and well liked, with a free plan and unlimited signature requests on its paid plans. HelloSign was renamed Dropbox Sign after Dropbox bought it.
- Best for
- Teams already on Dropbox who want simple, familiar signing.
- Worth knowing
- The team plan is charged per user, with a minimum of 2 users, according to its pricing page.
- FD Sign may suit you better if
- You want one price for the whole account, plus a check that the document is ready before anyone signs.
Looking for a PandaDoc alternative?
PandaDoc: A full documents platform for sales: proposals, quotes, templates, CRM integrations and e-signatures together.
- Best for
- Sales teams that build proposals and quotes, with CRM links and approvals.
- Worth knowing
- Paid plans are charged per seat, according to its pricing page. Many teams only need the signing part, not the sales workflow.
- FD Sign may suit you better if
- What you need is to get contracts signed, without seats or a sales workflow.
What FD Sign adds
- Signing-ready check
- Before you send, an AI check flags blanks, [placeholders], tracked changes, notes to draft and missing schedules, so nobody signs an unfinished version.
- Edit before you send
- Remove or reorder pages, add a blank page, type or white-out text on the page, without another PDF tool.
- A code for every signer
- Each signer confirms a 6-digit code before signing, recorded in the audit trail.
- Draft it first with FD AI
- Make an NDA, term sheet or other agreement with FD AI from Founders Doc's lawyer-written wording, then send it straight to signing.
- A lawyer one click away
- Founders Doc is a Singapore law practice: book a call if you want the document checked before it is signed.
How to choose
- How many people send?
- If several people send, a per-account price (FD Sign) usually costs less than per-user or per-seat plans.
- How many contracts a month?
- Count what you really send. DocuSign counts envelopes; Dropbox Sign and PandaDoc paid plans don't; FD Sign plans have a monthly number of requests.
- Do you need a sales workflow?
- Proposals, quotes and CRM links point to PandaDoc. Plain contract signing doesn't need them.
- Do you need the document too?
- If you also need the contract written, FD Sign sits next to FD AI and Founders Doc's lawyers.
Common questions
What is the best DocuSign alternative?
It depends on your team. Dropbox Sign suits teams already on Dropbox, PandaDoc suits sales teams sending proposals, and FD Sign suits startups and small teams in Singapore that want a lower price per account and help with the document itself.
Is HelloSign the same as Dropbox Sign?
Yes. HelloSign was renamed Dropbox Sign after Dropbox bought it.
How much does FD Sign cost?
Your first 3 signing requests are free. After that, FD Sign plans start at S$7.15 a month: half of DocuSign's price, with more requests. FD AI memberships include it too.
Is an FD Sign e-signature as valid as a DocuSign one?
For most business contracts in Singapore, the Electronic Transactions Act 2010 recognises electronic signatures whichever tool you use. What matters is showing who signed and that they meant to, which FD Sign's signing code and audit trail record. A few documents, such as wills, still need a traditional signature.
Can I move my contracts over from DocuSign?
There is nothing to move: upload the PDF or Word file you want signed and send it. Keep your existing records where they are.
Do my signers need an account?
No, with any of these tools. With FD Sign they get a private link, confirm a code and sign on their phone or computer.
