1. Introduction: The Quiet Contender in E-Signatures

I spent the last seven months putting Dropbox Sign through its paces across my consulting business, and I walked in expecting a basic Dropbox add-on dressed up as an e-signature tool. What I found instead was a focused, surprisingly capable signing platform that punches well above what most people assume when they hear "Dropbox."

Dropbox Sign, formerly known as HelloSign before Dropbox acquired it in 2019, has been quietly carving out a niche as the go-to signing solution for teams that value simplicity over bloat. While competitors like [DocuSign](/reviews/docusign) and [Adobe Sign](/reviews/adobe-sign) pile on enterprise features that most small businesses never touch, Dropbox Sign takes a deliberate minimalist approach that I found refreshing and occasionally frustrating.

My testing involved sending over 300 signature requests, building 40+ reusable templates, testing the embedded signing API in a client portal project, running bulk sends, and integrating with our existing Dropbox Business workspace. I evaluated the platform across ease of use, feature depth, API quality, compliance, pricing, and real-world reliability.

For context, I have tested every major e-signature platform over the past four years. My team previously used DocuSign for two years and briefly tried PandaDoc. We switched to Dropbox Sign largely because we were already deep in the Dropbox ecosystem, but I wanted to know whether it could truly stand on its own merits.

2. What is Dropbox Sign? Understanding the Platform

\[VISUAL: Company timeline infographic showing HelloSign founding through Dropbox acquisition to present\]

Dropbox Sign started life as HelloSign, founded in 2011 by Joseph Walla in San Francisco. The original vision was straightforward: make sending documents for signature as simple as sending an email. HelloSign grew steadily by focusing on a clean interface and a developer-friendly API that earned a devoted following among startups and SaaS companies.

In 2019, Dropbox acquired HelloSign for $230 million, a move that signaled Dropbox's ambition to move beyond simple file storage into workflow territory. The rebranding to Dropbox Sign came in 2022, tightening the integration between signing and the broader Dropbox ecosystem.

Today, Dropbox Sign positions itself as the e-signature solution for teams that want speed and simplicity without the enterprise complexity of DocuSign or the Adobe ecosystem lock-in of Adobe Sign. The platform handles the core signing workflow: prepare a document, add signature fields, send it out, track progress, and store the completed document with a full audit trail.

What distinguishes Dropbox Sign from the pack is its embedded signing API, which remains one of the most developer-friendly options on the market. Companies like Instacart and Samsung have used the API to embed signing directly into their own applications, and during my testing I understood why. The documentation is clear, the endpoints are logical, and you can get a working prototype running in hours rather than days.

\[SCREENSHOT: Dropbox Sign interface showing the document preparation screen with drag-and-drop fields\]

The platform operates entirely in the cloud. You access it through the web, through Dropbox desktop and mobile apps, or through the API. Documents are stored in Dropbox automatically on the bundled plan, creating a seamless file management experience that competitors cannot match.

3. Dropbox Sign Pricing & Plans: Complete Breakdown

\[VISUAL: Interactive pricing comparison widget showing all plan tiers\]

Dropbox Sign's pricing structure changed significantly in recent years, consolidating around fewer plans with clearer value propositions. Understanding the tiers requires looking at both the standalone signing plans and the bundled Dropbox + eSign options.

3.1 Free Plan - Limited but Functional

\[SCREENSHOT: Free plan sending interface showing the 3 requests per month limit\]

The free plan gives you a taste of Dropbox Sign without any commitment. You can send up to 3 signature requests per month with one signer per request. You get access to the basic signing interface, audit trails, and mobile signing capability.

Key Limitations: Three requests per month is barely enough to evaluate the product, let alone run a business. You cannot use templates, send to multiple signers on a single document, or access integrations. There is no team management whatsoever.

3.2 Essentials Plan ($15/month) - The Core Product

\[SCREENSHOT: Essentials plan dashboard showing template library and signature request history\]

At $15 per month for a single user (billed annually), the Essentials plan unlocks the features that make Dropbox Sign worthwhile. You get unlimited signature requests, reusable templates (up to 5), audit trails, in-person signing, and notifications.

What You Get: Unlimited signature requests remove the frustration of the free tier immediately. Templates save significant time for recurring documents like NDAs and contracts. In-person signing works well for face-to-face meetings. Signer attachments let recipients upload supporting documents alongside their signature. You also get basic integrations with tools like Google Workspace and Microsoft 365.

What You Still Miss: Team management is absent entirely, meaning this is a single-user plan with no collaboration features. Bulk send is not available. The template limit of 5 feels tight for any business handling multiple document types. Branding customization is minimal.

3.3 Dropbox + eSign Bundle ($24.99/month) - The Ecosystem Play

\[SCREENSHOT: Bundled plan showing Dropbox storage alongside signing features\]

This bundled plan combines Dropbox Plus storage (2 TB) with full e-signature capabilities. At $24.99 per month billed annually, it makes financial sense if you would otherwise pay for both Dropbox and a signing tool separately.

What Makes It Different: Everything in Essentials plus 2 TB of Dropbox cloud storage, automatic filing of signed documents into Dropbox, and seamless document preparation from your Dropbox files. The integration feels native rather than bolted on.

Value Calculation: Dropbox Plus alone costs $11.99/month. Essentials signing costs $15/month. Bundled at $24.99 saves roughly $2/month, but the real value is workflow integration, not dollar savings.

3.4 Standard API Plan (Custom Pricing) - The Developer Powerhouse

The API plan pricing is not published and requires contacting sales. From my conversations with their team and developer community feedback, expect pricing based on API call volume and the features you need.

What the API Unlocks: Embedded signing inside your own application, white-labeling to remove Dropbox branding, OAuth authentication, real-time webhooks, and template management at scale.

4. Key Features Deep Dive

4.1 Document Preparation & Sending - Streamlined Simplicity

\[SCREENSHOT: Document upload and field placement interface showing drag-and-drop signature fields\]

Dropbox Sign's document preparation experience is where its simplicity-first philosophy shines brightest. Upload a PDF, Word document, or even an image, and you are immediately presented with a clean canvas for placing signature fields.

The drag-and-drop field editor is intuitive in a way that DocuSign's equivalent frankly is not. You drag a signature field, a date field, a text field, or a checkbox onto the document, and it snaps into place. Resizing is smooth. Repositioning is effortless. The entire process from upload to send consistently took me under two minutes for standard documents.

Field Types Available: Signature, initials, date signed, text input, checkbox, and dropdown. You can mark fields as required or optional and assign them to specific signers. The field detection is decent at identifying where signatures typically go, though I found manual placement more reliable.

\[SCREENSHOT: Field type selector showing all available field options\]

Sending works exactly as you would expect. Add recipient email addresses, set a signing order if needed, include a message, and send. Recipients get an email with a link to sign. The signing experience for recipients is clean, mobile-friendly, and requires no account creation, which is a massive advantage for reducing friction.

4.2 Templates - Time Saver with Limits

\[SCREENSHOT: Template library showing saved document templates with usage statistics\]

Templates transform Dropbox Sign from a one-off signing tool into a repeatable workflow system. Create a template once, and you can send it to new signers with a few clicks. Our NDA template alone saved roughly 15 minutes per use compared to preparing the document from scratch each time.

Building a template is straightforward. Upload your document, place fields as you would for any signature request, assign signer roles (like "Client" and "Consultant"), and save. When you use the template later, you simply assign real people to each role and send.

What Works Well: Role-based signer assignment is elegant. Pre-filled fields reduce errors. Template links let you send a URL that anyone can use to start signing, which works beautifully for self-service scenarios like new client onboarding.

What Falls Short: The 5-template limit on Essentials is genuinely restrictive. My consulting business alone needs templates for NDAs, SOWs, service agreements, contractor agreements, and change orders. That is already five, with no room for specialized templates. Upgrading to a team plan just for more templates feels heavy-handed.

4.3 Embedded Signing API - The Crown Jewel

\[SCREENSHOT: Code editor showing API implementation with embedded signing iframe\]

If Dropbox Sign has one feature that genuinely differentiates it from the competition, it is the embedded signing API. I built a prototype client portal with embedded signing in about four hours, and the experience was remarkably smooth.

The API uses a straightforward REST architecture. You create a signature request through the API, receive an embeddable URL, and display it in an iframe or redirect within your application. The signer completes the process without ever leaving your app. Webhooks notify your backend when signing is complete.

Developer Experience: The documentation is among the best I have encountered in any SaaS API. Code examples exist in Python, Ruby, Node.js, PHP, Java, and C#. The sandbox environment lets you test without burning through production credits.

\[VISUAL: API workflow diagram showing request creation, embedding, and webhook callback flow\]

White-Labeling: On the API plan, you can remove all Dropbox branding. Your users see your logo, your colors, and your domain. The signing experience becomes indistinguishable from a native feature of your application.

4.4 Audit Trail & Compliance - Enterprise-Grade Security

\[SCREENSHOT: Audit trail detail view showing every action taken on a signed document\]

Every document signed through Dropbox Sign generates a comprehensive audit trail that holds up in court. The audit trail records who signed, when they signed, their IP address, the email used, and a hash of the document proving it has not been altered since signing.

This is not just a nice-to-have. In my experience with contract disputes, having a bulletproof audit trail has saved clients from costly litigation. The Dropbox Sign audit trail is tamper-evident and attached directly to the completed document as an additional page.

Compliance Certifications: Dropbox Sign maintains SOC 2 Type II certification, HIPAA compliance (on qualified plans), GDPR compliance for European data handling, and eIDAS compliance for EU electronic signatures. The platform meets the requirements of the ESIGN Act and UETA in the United States.

4.5 Bulk Send - Scale When You Need It

\[SCREENSHOT: Bulk send interface showing CSV upload and recipient mapping\]

Bulk send lets you send the same document to hundreds of recipients simultaneously, each personalized with their specific details. Think annual policy acknowledgments, offer letters during a hiring sprint, or vendor agreement renewals.

The workflow is CSV-driven. Upload your template, prepare a spreadsheet with recipient names, emails, and any custom field values, and Dropbox Sign sends personalized signature requests to everyone on the list. During testing, I sent a batch of 50 contractor agreements and the entire process took about 10 minutes from CSV preparation to send.

Limitations: Bulk send is only available on team plans and the API plan. Individual plans at any price tier do not include it. The CSV format is rigid, and errors in formatting cause the entire batch to fail rather than skipping problematic rows. There is no scheduling feature for bulk sends.

4.6 In-Person Signing - Face-to-Face Made Digital

\[SCREENSHOT: In-person signing mode on a tablet showing the signature capture interface\]

In-person signing turns your tablet or laptop into a signing station. Hand the device to your client, they sign on screen, and the document is captured with the same audit trail as a remote signature. This feature proved invaluable for client meetings, trade shows, and any scenario where both parties are physically present.

The experience is polished on iPad and works adequately on Android tablets. The signature capture is smooth and responsive. After signing, both parties receive completed copies via email automatically.

4.7 Dropbox Integration - The Ecosystem Advantage

\[SCREENSHOT: Dropbox folder showing automatically filed signed documents with organized naming\]

For Dropbox users, the native integration is the single strongest argument for choosing Dropbox Sign over competitors. Signed documents automatically file into your Dropbox. You can initiate signing directly from any document in your Dropbox. The naming conventions are consistent and searchable.

During my testing, this integration eliminated roughly 20 minutes per week of manual document filing. Over a year, that is over 17 hours saved on a task that adds zero value to my business. The documents are immediately accessible to anyone with folder permissions, which streamlined our contract review process significantly.

5. Dropbox Sign Pros: The Bright Side

\[VISUAL: Pros section with green gradient background and checkmark icons\]

Unmatched Simplicity in Document Preparation. I have used every major e-signature platform, and none gets you from document to sent faster than Dropbox Sign. The interface is clean, the field editor is intuitive, and there are no unnecessary steps cluttering the process. New team members were sending documents within 10 minutes of their first login, with zero training required.

Best-in-Class Developer API. The embedded signing API is genuinely a competitive advantage. The documentation quality, SDK availability, and sandbox environment make it the most developer-friendly e-signature API on the market. Our development team built a working integration in a fraction of the time they quoted for the DocuSign equivalent.

Recipient Experience That Reduces Friction. Signers do not need to create an account, download an app, or navigate a complex interface. They click a link, sign where indicated, and they are done. Our signature completion rates averaged 94% with Dropbox Sign compared to roughly 87% with our previous DocuSign setup.

Seamless Dropbox Ecosystem Integration. If your team lives in Dropbox, the signing integration feels native rather than bolted on. Automatic filing, direct signing from Dropbox files, and consistent document organization save meaningful time over the course of a year.

Transparent and Accessible Pricing. Compared to DocuSign's confusing tier structure and Adobe Sign's Creative Cloud bundling, Dropbox Sign's pricing is clear and reasonable. The Essentials plan at $15/month covers the needs of most individual users without hidden upsells.

Reliable Audit Trails and Compliance. The compliance certifications and tamper-evident audit trails provide genuine legal protection. Every signed document includes a detailed transaction history that has held up in the real-world contract questions I have encountered.

6. Dropbox Sign Cons: The Pain Points

\[VISUAL: Cons section with red gradient background and X icons\]

Template Limits Feel Artificially Restrictive. Five templates on the Essentials plan is not enough for most businesses. This limitation feels designed to push users toward expensive team plans rather than reflecting any technical constraint. Even bumping the limit to 15 would dramatically improve the product for small teams.

No Team Features on Individual Plans. If you are a two-person business, you are forced into a team-tier plan to share templates or manage signature requests together. There is no middle ground between solo use and full team management. This pricing gap leaves small partnerships and micro-businesses underserved.

Limited Advanced Document Features. Conditional logic, calculated fields, payment collection, and document generation are all absent. If your contracts require any dynamic behavior beyond simple field fills, you need a different tool or a supplementary solution like PandaDoc.

Mobile Experience is Functional but Forgettable. The Dropbox mobile app handles signing adequately, but the experience is clearly designed web-first. Preparing documents on mobile is clunky, and template management is essentially impossible. If mobile document preparation matters to your workflow, look elsewhere.

Bulk Send Requires Team Plans. Restricting bulk send to team-tier plans means individual users who occasionally need to send the same document to multiple recipients have no option. Even a limited bulk send on Essentials (say, 10 recipients per batch) would fill this gap sensibly.

Integration Ecosystem Is Narrow. Compared to DocuSign's massive integration marketplace, Dropbox Sign integrates with fewer third-party tools. You get the essentials: Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, HubSpot, and a handful of others. But niche industry tools and many popular automation platforms have limited or no native integration.

7. Setup & Implementation Requirements

\[VISUAL: Implementation timeline infographic showing phases from signup to full adoption\]

Getting started with Dropbox Sign is one of the fastest onboarding experiences I have encountered in any SaaS product. The simplicity that defines the product extends to its setup process.

Day 1: Account and Configuration (30 minutes). Sign up, verify your email, connect your Dropbox account if applicable, and upload your signature. Configure your default notification preferences and branding (logo upload and basic color customization). That is genuinely the entire initial setup.

Days 2-3: Template Creation (2-4 hours). Prepare your most commonly sent documents as templates. Upload each document, place fields, assign signer roles, and save. For a typical small business with 5-10 standard documents, this takes an afternoon.

Days 4-5: Integration Setup (1-3 hours). Connect Dropbox Sign to your existing tools. The Google Workspace integration takes minutes. Salesforce integration requires more configuration but has solid documentation. API integration timelines vary based on your development resources.

Week 2: Team Onboarding (1-2 hours per person). Training is minimal. Most team members figured out the platform through the interface alone. I recommend a 30-minute walkthrough covering templates, signing order, and where to find completed documents.

Total Implementation Time: For a small team of 5-10 people, expect full implementation within one week. Compare that to DocuSign enterprise implementations that routinely take 4-8 weeks with dedicated project managers.

8. Dropbox Sign vs Competitors: Detailed Comparisons

\[VISUAL: Comparison matrix graphic with Dropbox Sign vs major competitors\]

Dropbox Sign vs DocuSign

DocuSign offers deeper features, broader integrations, and enterprise capabilities that Dropbox Sign cannot match. But that power comes with complexity and cost most small teams do not need.

Bottom Line: Choose DocuSign for enterprise features, extensive integrations, or FedRAMP compliance. Choose Dropbox Sign for simplicity, API quality, or Dropbox ecosystem alignment.

Dropbox Sign vs Adobe Sign

Adobe Sign integrates deeply with Acrobat and Creative Cloud. If your team lives in Adobe tools, the integration is compelling. Otherwise, it feels overengineered for basic signing needs.

Bottom Line: Choose Adobe Sign if you are an Acrobat-heavy organization. Choose Dropbox Sign for cleaner UX and better API at a lower price.

Dropbox Sign vs PandaDoc

PandaDoc is a document automation platform that includes e-signatures but goes far beyond them with document generation, CPQ, payment collection, and deal tracking.

Bottom Line: Choose PandaDoc for document creation and proposal automation alongside signatures. Choose Dropbox Sign for clean, fast signing of already-prepared documents.

Dropbox Sign vs Documenso

Documenso is the open-source alternative gaining traction with developers. Self-hosting gives you complete control over your data.

Bottom Line: Choose Documenso for open-source, self-hosted control. Choose Dropbox Sign for a managed service with professional support and compliance certifications.

9. Best Use Cases & Industries

\[VISUAL: Industry use case cards with icons showing different business scenarios\]

Small Business Contracts and Agreements. Freelancers, consultants, and small agencies sending NDAs, service agreements, and proposals will find Dropbox Sign perfectly sized. The Essentials plan covers the core workflow without paying for features you will never use.

Developer-Embedded Signing. SaaS companies building applications that require signing functionality should seriously evaluate the Dropbox Sign API before any competitor. White-labeling creates a seamless user experience.

Dropbox-Centric Teams. If your organization already uses Dropbox Business, adding Dropbox Sign creates a unified document lifecycle: create, store, sign, and archive all within one ecosystem.

HR and Employee Onboarding. Offer letters, employment agreements, and policy acknowledgments are ideal use cases. In-person signing handles first-day paperwork elegantly, and templates keep the process consistent.

Real Estate Transactions. Small brokerages and independent agents find Dropbox Sign sufficient for purchase agreements, lease agreements, and disclosure forms. The in-person signing feature is particularly valuable at property showings.

10. Who Should NOT Use Dropbox Sign

\[VISUAL: Warning box with red border showing personas that should avoid Dropbox Sign\]

Enterprise Organizations with Complex Approval Workflows. If your signing process involves multiple sequential approvals, conditional routing, or enterprise document management integration, Dropbox Sign lacks the workflow engine. DocuSign CLM or Adobe Sign Enterprise are better fits.

Teams Needing Advanced Document Generation. If you need to dynamically generate contracts from CRM data or produce complex proposals with conditional clauses, you need PandaDoc or Proposify instead.

Organizations Requiring Government Compliance (FedRAMP). US government contractors needing FedRAMP-authorized solutions must look to DocuSign. Dropbox Sign does not currently offer FedRAMP compliance.

High-Volume Transaction Businesses. Companies processing thousands of signatures daily need the throughput, SLA guarantees, and dedicated infrastructure that enterprise-grade platforms provide.

Teams Already Deep in a Competitor Ecosystem. If your organization has deeply integrated DocuSign into Salesforce workflows, switching to Dropbox Sign means rebuilding those integrations. The switching cost rarely justifies the savings.

11. Integration Ecosystem

\[VISUAL: Integration map showing connected platforms organized by category\]

Dropbox Sign's integration library is focused rather than extensive. You get quality connections to the most popular business tools, but you will not find the breadth of a DocuSign or Zapier-level marketplace.

Native Integrations: Dropbox (deep, seamless), Google Workspace (Drive, Gmail), Microsoft 365 (OneDrive, Outlook), Salesforce, HubSpot CRM, Oracle, and several industry-specific tools.

Automation Platforms: Zapier and Make both support Dropbox Sign triggers and actions. During testing, I built a Zapier workflow that automatically sent our NDA template when a new lead reached a specific stage in HubSpot. It worked reliably across 40+ triggers.

API Integration: The REST API supports any custom integration you want to build. The webhook system provides real-time event notifications for completed signatures, declined requests, and status changes.

What is Missing: Native integrations with popular tools like Slack, Notion, and Monday.com are absent. The Salesforce integration lacks the depth of DocuSign's native Salesforce experience. Industry-specific integrations for legal, property management, and healthcare EMR systems are limited.

12. Customer Support & Resources

\[VISUAL: Support channel comparison card with response times and availability\]

Dropbox Sign's support experience reflects its position as a mid-market tool. You get competent help, but do not expect the white-glove treatment of enterprise platforms.

Email Support: Available on all paid plans. Response times during my testing averaged 4-8 hours for non-urgent issues. The responses were knowledgeable and resolved my questions without excessive back-and-forth.

Live Chat: Available during business hours on team plans. Chat agents handled basic questions well but escalated technical issues to email. Wait times averaged 5-10 minutes.

Help Center: The self-service documentation is solid, and the API documentation is genuinely excellent. Most questions I had during testing were answered in the help center before I needed to contact support.

Community Resources: The developer community around the API is active on Stack Overflow and GitHub. Community answers often resolve issues faster than official support.

What is Missing: Phone support is not available on any plan. Weekend support is limited. There is no dedicated customer success manager below enterprise tier.

13. Performance & Reliability

\[VISUAL: Performance dashboard showing uptime metrics and load time charts\]

Dropbox Sign's performance has been rock-solid throughout my seven months of testing. The platform is built on Dropbox's infrastructure, which provides enterprise-grade reliability without the enterprise price tag.

Uptime: I experienced zero unplanned outages during my testing period. The Dropbox status page shows historical uptime consistently above 99.9%.

Document Processing Speed: Simple documents processed and sent within 5-10 seconds. Complex templates with 20+ fields took 15-20 seconds. Bulk sends processed at roughly 2-3 documents per second.

Signing Experience Performance: Recipients reported fast loading times, typically under 3 seconds on desktop and under 5 seconds on mobile. The signing interface is lightweight and requires no plugins.

API Response Times: API calls averaged 200-400ms for standard operations. Webhook delivery was prompt, typically within 5 seconds of the triggering event. Rate limits were generous enough that we never encountered throttling.

14. Security & Compliance

\[VISUAL: Security certification badges and compliance framework diagram\]

Dropbox Sign benefits from Dropbox's significant investment in security infrastructure. The platform undergoes regular third-party security audits and penetration testing. Each signed document includes a cryptographic hash that proves it has not been altered, providing legally admissible evidence in disputes.

HIPAA Compliance Note: Healthcare organizations can use Dropbox Sign only on qualifying plans with a signed Business Associate Agreement. Verify eligibility with Dropbox sales before handling protected health information.

15. Final Verdict & Recommendations

\[VISUAL: Final verdict summary box with overall rating and key recommendations\]

Overall Rating: 7.8/10

After seven months of testing, Dropbox Sign earns a confident recommendation for a specific audience: small teams and developers who want e-signatures that work without getting in the way. It does not try to be everything, and that restraint is its greatest strength.

The simplicity of the signing experience, the quality of the developer API, and the seamless Dropbox integration create a product that excels at its core purpose. Where it falls short, in advanced document features, team plan pricing, and integration breadth, are gaps that matter primarily to larger organizations with more complex needs.

Best For: The Ideal Dropbox Sign Users

Solo professionals and small teams (1-10 people) who send contracts, agreements, and forms regularly without needing enterprise document automation.

Developers and SaaS companies embedding signing into their own applications. The API experience is genuinely best-in-class.

Dropbox Business users who want a unified document lifecycle without juggling multiple platforms and manual file management.

Budget-conscious businesses that need reliable, legally compliant e-signatures without paying DocuSign's premium pricing.

Not Recommended For: Who Should Look Elsewhere

Enterprise organizations needing complex workflows, advanced permissions, and guaranteed SLAs.

Teams requiring document generation alongside signing capabilities.

Government contractors needing FedRAMP or specialized compliance certifications.

High-volume businesses processing thousands of daily transactions.

ROI Assessment

\[VISUAL: ROI calculator showing time savings and cost comparison with manual signing\]

Our Dropbox Sign investment delivered clear, measurable returns. The Essentials plan at $15/month replaced a combination of printing, scanning, mailing, and manual filing that cost roughly $120/month in supplies, postage, and time. Template automation saved approximately 5 hours per month across our team. The Dropbox integration eliminated another 2 hours monthly of manual document filing.

Total estimated annual savings: approximately $1,400 in direct costs and 84 hours of recovered time. Against the $180 annual cost of the Essentials plan, the ROI is unambiguous.

The Bottom Line

Dropbox Sign is not the most powerful e-signature platform. It is not the cheapest. It is not the most feature-rich. But it might be the most pleasant to use, and for small teams and developers, that matters more than a feature checklist suggests.

Start with the free plan to test the signing experience. If it fits your workflow, the Essentials plan at $15/month is one of the best values in the e-signature market. And if you need embedded signing in your application, the API should be at the top of your evaluation list.
