Zoho Sign
E-signature service with a free plan for one user and paid plans from $10 per user a month.
In short
- The free plan is for one user and sends 5 envelopes a month1.
- Standard costs $10 per user a month billed yearly ($12 billed monthly) and sends 25 envelopes per user a month1,2.
- Professional ($16 per user a month, billed yearly) and Enterprise ($22) send unlimited envelopes1,2.
- Zoho Sign says it provides standard, advanced (AES) and qualified (QES) electronic signatures6.
- The security page names SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 270014.
Zoho Sign suits people who want a free plan for occasional signing and a cheap paid plan with signer identity checks1. It names all three eIDAS signature levels and both SOC 2 Type II and ISO 270014,6. The catch: bulk send, the API and payment collection are Enterprise features, and single sign-on is not documented on its pricing, features or security pages1,3,4.
Best for: Individuals and small teams that want a free plan and a path to qualified signatures.
