Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about making the switch? We have answers.
Yes. eSignly signatures are fully compliant with the U.S. Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce (ESIGN) Act, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA), and Europe's eIDAS regulation. Every signed document comes with a comprehensive, court-admissible audit trail that tracks every action, ensuring it has the same legal standing as a handwritten signature.
We are significantly more affordable. Most competitors charge high monthly fees *and* have limits on the number of documents (envelopes) you can send. Our plans often include unlimited sending and are priced lower on a per-user basis, providing a much better value and predictable monthly costs without surprise overage fees.
Not at all. We've designed the process to be simple. You can be up and running in three easy steps: 1) Sign up for a free trial. 2) Upload your existing PDFs or Word documents to create reusable templates. 3) Invite your team members. Our intuitive interface requires minimal training, and our support team is here to help if you have questions.
Extremely secure. We employ enterprise-grade security measures, including AES 256-bit encryption for all documents at rest and in transit. Our platform is SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliant, ensuring your sensitive information is protected by the highest industry standards.
