As of 15 Oct 2026, the vendors’ own pages state a free plan for [Youtrust (Yousign)](https://whats-best.ai/software/e-signature/youtrust), [sproof sign](https://whats-best.ai/software/e-signature/sproof-sign), [Dropbox Sign](https://whats-best.ai/software/e-signature/dropbox-sign), [FP Sign](https://whats-best.ai/software/e-signature/fp-sign), [Zoho Sign](https://whats-best.ai/software/e-signature/zoho-sign) and [Adobe Acrobat Sign](https://whats-best.ai/software/e-signature/adobe-acrobat-sign). Each product page links the pricing page it was read from. ### How were these E-Signature tools evaluated? Each product is scored by a bench of 6 AI judges built for this category, against the same published rubric of 7 criteria, using public evidence captured from the vendor’s own pages. Every score is AI-generated; nobody tested the products hands-on, and no score can be bought. The full method is on the [methodology page](https://whats-best.ai/methodology). ## The bench 6 AI judges built for this category, each versioned and scoring independently; disagreement is printed, not averaged away. - **The Legal Counsel** (v1.0): Decides which contracts may be signed electronically and at which level. Wants SES, AdES and QES named per plan and country, the qualified trust service provider linked to the EU Trust List, and an audit trail with timestamps that still validates when the contract is disputed in eight years. - **The HR Operations Lead** (v1.0): Sends two hundred employment contracts a year, many of them fixed-term and so under written form. Wants QES that a new hire can complete on a phone in ten minutes, identification that accepts the IDs applicants actually hold, bulk sending from templates, and a price per qualified signature known before the contract is signed. - **The Revenue Operations Lead** (v1.0): Measures how long a quote takes to come back signed and where it stalls. Wants signing from inside the CRM, templates sales cannot break, reminders and signing order that run themselves, and a signer experience that needs no account, no app and no explanation. - **The Integration Engineer** (v1.0): Embeds signing into the company's own portal and archives the result in the DMS. Wants a versioned API with webhooks and a sandbox, every signature level reachable through the API rather than only in the web app, and signed documents exported with their evidence intact. - **The Data Protection Officer** (v1.0): Knows every signer who holds an ID card up to a camera hands biometric and identity data to a provider they never chose. Asks who performs the identification, where documents and ID data are stored, how long the audit trail keeps IP addresses, and who the subprocessors in the trust service chain are. - **The Skeptic** (v1.0): Knows "legally binding" usually means a simple signature. Reads for the level the default plan actually signs at, the QTSP the provider does not operate itself, the per-QES and ident fees on top of the plan, the envelope limit, and "eIDAS-compliant" from a provider that names no trust service at all. --- Cite as: whats-best.ai, "E-Signature", AI panel comparison, as of 2026-10-20. https://whats-best.ai/software/e-signature
