FairSign vs SignWell
SignWell is the closest thing FairSign has to a direct competitor, and it is a good product with years of reviews behind it. On the headline monthly price there is nothing between us: both are $12 a month, or $10 a month if you pay for the year.
So this page is not going to tell you we are cheaper on the entry plan. Two things actually differ: what happens when you add a second person, and where your file goes when you sign it yourself. Every SignWell figure here comes from their published pricing page.

Who should pick which
Pick SignWell if you need conditional field rules. That ships today on their side and does not exist on ours. If you are one person sending a handful of documents and none of the above matters, the two products cost the same and theirs has years of reviews behind it. We would rather say that than pretend a $2 difference that isn't there.
Pick FairSign if more than one person sends documents: three senders is $24 a month here against $36 there, because we charge per account and they charge per sender. And pick FairSign if you regularly sign your own documents: that happens inside your browser, the file never reaches a server, it is free and unlimited, and you can confirm it with the network panel open.
The rest is the terms: cancel anytime for $0, an email 7 days before every renewal, and a 14-day refund written into policy. Sign one document free right now, with no account and nothing uploaded, then decide from there.
