Frequently Asked Questions

Have more questions? We have answers. Here are some common queries from businesses making the switch.

Is eSignly legally binding?

Yes. eSignly signatures are legally binding in the United States and most countries around the world. We comply with the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and other international regulations.

How does your pricing compare to Dropbox Sign for a small team?

For small teams, eSignly is significantly more cost-effective. Our Professional and Business plans typically offer more features (like more templates and branding options) at a lower price per user compared to Dropbox Sign's equivalent tiers. You get more room to grow without a massive price hike.

Can I try eSignly before I commit?

Absolutely. We offer a generous free plan that you can use to test our core features. For API users, we provide a free developer sandbox with full API access. We want you to be confident in your decision.

What if I need a feature that isn't listed?

We are constantly developing new features based on customer feedback. Please contact our sales team. We may have a solution in beta or on our near-term roadmap. For enterprise clients, we can also discuss custom development.

How secure is the eSignly platform?

Security is our top priority. All documents are encrypted in transit and at rest with 256-bit AES encryption. Our platform is hosted in SOC 2 Type II certified data centers, and we are compliant with HIPAA, GDPR, and ISO 27001.

What kind of support is included?

All our paid plans include access to our email and chat support teams. Our Enterprise plans include a dedicated account manager and phone support. We are committed to providing responsive and helpful support to all our customers.

Does eSignly integrate with my existing tech stack, like Salesforce or HubSpot?

How long does it take to migrate from my current eSignature provider?

We prioritize speed and minimal disruption. Our migration team handles the heavy lifting, often completing transitions for standard setups in under 48 hours. We ensure your templates and users are moved over so you can continue working without missing a beat.

Are there penalties or hidden costs if our document volume suddenly increases?

No. We believe in transparent, scalable pricing. You are never penalized for growth. Our plans are designed to handle variable volume, and we will work with you to find the most cost-effective tier as your business expands, rather than hitting you with surprise overage fees.

Is the signing process complicated for my clients who don't have an eSignly account?

Absolutely not. Your recipients do not need an account or any special software to sign. They simply click a secure link sent to their email or phone, review the document, and sign. It is designed to be frictionless, ensuring you get your documents back faster.
