  "notes": "(read 2026-11-14 on signthis.pro and signthis.pro/reviewers, US dollars a month before tax) SignThis has a free plan that sends 3 documents a month with no card and no end date; the allowance renews on the first day of each month (UTC) and is shared by every workspace one person creates. Individual plans have no annual commitment: Basic is $8 a month for 6 envelopes a month (the first month is $5 for a new subscriber), Standard is $20 a month for 120 envelopes a year and 25 saved templates, Professional is $25 a month for 200 envelopes a year and 100 templates with the REST API, signed webhooks and an MCP server, and Secure is $49 a month for 400 envelopes a year. Business plans need a 12-month commitment billed monthly: Starter is $30 a seat with 100 envelopes a year per seat and single sign-on, Standard is $35 a seat (3-seat minimum) with unlimited envelopes under fair use, and Professional is $65 a seat (3-seat minimum) with 500 templates. An ordinary send uses one envelope per document whatever the number of signers. VerySecure palm verification uses 2 envelopes per signer, or 1 per signer on Secure, and is not part of the free sending allowance. We have not paid for a plan, so tax is not known.",

On 14 November 2026 the session tested SignThis on the free plan: one PDF to three signers, the document counter, VerySecure, a correction after sending, cancelling, and the page a signer sees without an account. The paid Professional plan was not activated. One PDF with three made up signers was uploaded at 12:56. Place signature blocks put a signature, name and date for all three signers on page 1 with one click. Review and send said Uses 1 of your 3 remaining free documents and that free workspaces can send each document to up to 10 recipients and to 25 in any 24 hours (0 of 25 used; this document goes to 3). It was sent at 12:58, and the counter then read 2 of 3 free documents left this month: three signers cost one document. VerySecure palm scan can be ticked per signer on the free plan, but Review and send then says VerySecure requires a paid subscription and that ordinary documents remain available within the free allowance. No palm scan or biometrics followed and the box was unticked again. The invitations to the made up signer addresses did not arrive: the activity log said Accepted by mail service, with a note that accepted does not mean the email is in the inbox. Our own mailbox does not deliver plus addresses, which is a limit on our side and not a fault of SignThis. Correct and resend as new version made a new draft with the same blocks; after changing signer 1 to a reachable address, Review and send said Uses 1 of your 2 remaining free documents, so a correction costs a new document. Afterwards both versions stood on Waiting: the first was not withdrawn by itself. Both requests were cancelled with Cancel request, and the counter stayed at 1 of 3 free documents left: cancelling does not give the document back. What a signer without an account sees: the invitation of 13:00 arrived in the Junk folder of our mailbox and says No account is needed and that the signer can decline or ask the sender for a paper alternative; the link is valid until 14 December. The link opens a page without any login, with the document name, the sender, the items You will be asked to give (a signature and a full name) and all participants. Review and continue offers Read it first, a reading mode (Reading only, Ready to sign?), Open original PDF, the electronic records and signatures disclosure and Agree and continue, with the note that continuing does not sign the document. The PDF could be read before agreeing. Agree and continue was not clicked and nothing was signed. The sender saw for signer 1 at once Opened, opened just now.
