# SignWell

Web e-signature service with a free plan and paid plans that allow unlimited documents.

70 points out of 100. #5 of 9 e-signature services. Vendor: SignWell. Website: https://www.signwell.com/

- The free plan allows 3 documents a month and 1 template [1].
- Light costs $10 a month billed yearly ($12 billed monthly) and allows unlimited documents [1].
- Light includes bulk send and 5 templates per sender; Business adds unlimited templates for $30 a month billed yearly [1].
- SignWell says it holds a SOC 2 Type II report [2].
- An API is included on every plan; the free tier covers 3 documents a month [1][5].

Verdict: SignWell suits one person or a small team that sends many documents on a low budget. Light costs $10 a month billed yearly and has no document cap, and a free plan exists [1]. It names SOC 2 Type II and the US ESIGN Act and UETA [2][4]. The catch: it names eIDAS but no signature level, and it publishes no ID check, payments or single sign-on [1][3]. Best for: Individuals and small teams who send many documents and want a low price.
