SignNow alternative: an honest comparison
SignNow is a real competitor and a cheap one. If you pay a year up front it costs less than we do, and we are not going to pretend otherwise on our own website.
What follows is both pricing pages side by side. Where SignNow wins, it says so. Every figure below comes from the vendor's published page, listed under the table.
Three signature requests a month, forever. Self-signing is unlimited and never leaves your browser.

Which one should you actually buy?
Buy SignNow if you are happy to commit to a year and want the lowest annual price. $96 for the year is less than our $120 and that is simply the better deal for a steady, predictable workload.
Buy FairSign if you pay monthly: $12 against $20 is a real difference, or if you want a free tier you cannot exhaust in March, or if it matters to you that signing your own documents never uploads them anywhere.
If you are unsure, start on our free tier. It costs nothing, needs no card, and three requests a month is enough to find out whether the workflow suits you.
