I’ve been testing different ways to send documents for signature without paying DocuSign prices.

DocuSign is solid, but for freelancers, small teams, and people who only need simple document signing, it can feel like too much.

So I made a visual guide comparing a few alternatives.

The tools included:

• [SignQuick](http://signquickapp.com)  
• BoldSign  
• SignNow  
• Dropbox Sign  
• OpenSign  
• Jotform Sign  
• Signaturely  
• Xodo Sign

My rough take:

SignQuick is the option I’m building, and the goal is to keep it fast and simple.

Upload a document, send a secure signing link, and get the signed PDF back.

No account needed for the signer.

No app install.

Works from web or iPhone.

BoldSign seems strong if you want a generous free tier.

SignNow looks better for repeat documents and templates.

Dropbox Sign makes sense if you already use Dropbox.

OpenSign is interesting if you want something open source or self-hosted.

Jotform Sign is useful if your workflow includes forms.

Signaturely is simple for basic signing.

Xodo Sign is worth checking for EU workflows.

For me, the main question is not “what is the biggest signing tool?”

It is:

What is the fastest way to get a document signed without making the signer jump through hoops?

Curious what people here use.

Are you still using DocuSign, or have you moved to something simpler?
