Tested by our team on 5 November 2026 on the free Personal plan: Daan created the account and our AI assistant ran the test in Daan's browser. We read the plan page, uploaded one fictional PDF into a new sign request and stopped there. We added no signer, sent nothing and signed nothing.
How we tested
✓ Pricing re-verified 20 Oct 2026
Personal is free: 5 documents a month, 3 signers and 1 document per request, 5 MB maximum, PDF only, with signature and stamp fields and AATL sealing. Business is $5 per user a month ($48 a year) and is where documents become unlimited — 10 signers and 3 documents per request, 10 MB, Word files, 10 saved templates, reminders and signing order.
Professional is $15 per user a month ($144 a year): 50 signers and 10 documents per request, 15 MB, OTP phone verification, bulk send, teams and the eSign API. Annual billing saves 20% and paid plans carry a 14-day trial. The API has a free developer account with unlimited test requests; production costs from $0.30 per signed document and requires Professional, whose card includes 50 free API sign requests before that rate; completed test documents are watermarked.
ISO/IEC 27001:2022-certified and AATL, legally binding in the US, UK and EU. Plans change, so check the live price on their site before you buy.
Category context: IT & Productivity. Across the 43 tools in this category that we researched with a public US-dollar price, the median entry price is $15 a month (lowest paid plan as listed, per seat where the vendor prices per seat). QuickSigner’s entry price of $5 a month sits below that median. Compare pricing conditions in the Software Cost Atlas →
We read QuickSigner’s own pricing page on a schedule and keep every reading, so this is our record of the page. It is not a forecast, and not someone else’s summary. A change appears here only after we confirmed the new price on the page itself.
QuickSigner's price card has not moved. Our July and August 2026 readings carry the same $5 a month with a 20% yearly discount at $48, the same $15 tier at $144 a year, and the same $0.30 per signed document for API production use. Those figures were on the machine-readable pricing page again on 17 August 2026. Read again on 27 September 2026: unchanged. Read again on 20 October 2026: the same $5, $48, $15 and $144, and the same $0.30. One discrepancy has closed — llms.txt, which gave the free plan 3 documents a month in August, now says 5, matching the pricing table.

QuickSigner's own llms.txt says it issues Advanced, not Qualified, Electronic Signatures, and names its weaker fit plainly: organisations needing QES, contract lifecycle management with redlining and analytics, or on-premise deployment. Below that line it does what it says for a fraction of per-envelope pricing: recipients sign from a link with no account, app or token. A few users report occasional email-deliverability hiccups, which weighs more here than usual because the emailed link is the whole signing route.

⚡ Short on time? Watch the 30-second verdict Short.
Legally-binding e-signatures with unlimited documents and no per-envelope caps: send a secure link and recipients sign from any device without creating an account. ISO/IEC 27001-certified, AATL signatures, valid across the US, UK and EU — a fair-priced DocuSign alternative.

Hands-on: tested 2026-11-05Reported by buyers: AppSumo, GetApp, Software Advice and SoftwareWorld, read August 2026
Themes from the buyer-review sites listed at the foot of this page, read in August 2026. We tested QuickSigner ourselves on 2026-11-05, but one test is a narrow sample, so here is what other buyers report. We summarise it here because the complaints are usually the part a vendor page leaves out.
Occasional signers fit comfortably on the free Personal plan: the pricing table and llms.txt both list 5 documents per month (read 20 October 2026), up to 3 signers per request, one document per request, and a 5 MB file cap. The concrete push toward paying comes from hitting any of those caps: running out of the monthly document quota, needing more than 3 signers on a single send, or needing to batch more than one document at once.
Business, at $5 per user/month ($48/year), removes the document quota, raises the signer limit to 10, and allows 10 saved templates. QuickSigner's pricing table and llms.txt both list Word support as a Business addition, but the FAQ describes signatures added to 'your PDFs and Word files' without naming a plan, so which claim governs the free plan is unresolved. What upgrading to Business does not solve: the per-request document cap only moves from 1 to 3, and there is still no API access.
Both require Professional ($15/user/month, $144/year), and even there, each signed document sent through the API costs an additional $0.30, so embedding signatures into another system carries a running per-document cost that no tier eliminates.
The first findings are at the top of this page. The rest:
We set a claim from QuickSigner's own pages next to what we saw in our test, on the plan named. The status says whether the two describe the same thing and match; it is not a verdict on the product. Confirmations are listed too.

Getting a first document signed starts with a free account, no credit card required, then uploading a document, adding signer emails, and placing signature, date, or text fields before sending a secure link; recipients sign from any device without an account. Which file formats the free plan accepts is unclear: the pricing table and llms.txt list the free tier as PDF-only, with Word added at Business, while the FAQ describes signing PDFs and Word files without naming a plan.
The monthly cap is now settled at 5: llms.txt, which said 3 in August, matched the pricing table when re-read on 20 October 2026. Either way the free plan allows one document per send, up to 3 signers, and a 5 MB file size limit, so anyone testing a multi-document or multi-signer workflow hits a wall quickly. For API integration, a developer sandbox is free, but only with watermarked test documents; moving to production requires the Professional plan ($15/user/month) plus $0.30 per signed document, so teams building an integration cannot test the real, unwatermarked flow before committing to the paid tier.
Before choosing a tier, count the three numbers the plans cap per send rather than per month: signers on one request (3, 10 or 50), documents bundled into one request (1, 3 or 10) and file size (5, 10 or 15 MB). A scanned multi-page lease can pass 5 MB long before the free monthly quota runs out. The FAQ says signed files are stored in Google Cloud with encryption; check that against your own data-residency rules before uploading client documents, because no region choice is published.

Personal is free for 5 documents a month. Business is $5 per user a month, or $48 a year, and that is where documents become unlimited. Professional is $15 per user a month, or $144 a year, and adds bulk send, teams, OTP verification and the API. Annual billing saves 20%. Read on 17 August 2026 and again, unchanged, on 27 September 2026.
Capped, and the cap is documents rather than time: five a month, one document and three signers per request, PDF only. Crucially it still includes AATL sealing, so what you sign on the free tier is as legally solid as on the paid ones: you simply cannot sign much.
The developer account is free with unlimited test requests; production signing costs from $0.30 per signed document and requires the Professional plan. For a product that otherwise sells unlimited documents per seat, that per-document rate is the line to model if you are embedding signing in your own software.
No. Its own llms.txt, read on 20 October 2026, says QuickSigner does not issue Qualified Electronic Signatures, which the EU requires for a small set of transactions and for filings with some government portals. What it applies is an Advanced Electronic Signature in the PAdES format, sealed with an AATL certificate and a qualified timestamp, with an audit trail of signer identity, IP address and timestamps. The same file reminds US users that the ESIGN Act excludes wills and testamentary trusts, family-law matters, court orders and filings, foreclosure and eviction notices and certain insurance cancellations.
Two different things carry that name. The FAQ (read 20 October 2026) says there is no in-app gallery of pre-written legal documents: a template is a document you upload and save with signature fields and recipient roles in place, ten on Business and more above, also callable through the API by templateId. Separately, the site publishes a free download library: an NDA, a master service agreement, an LLC operating agreement, a residential lease, W-9 and I-9 forms among them: in PDF and Word without an account. Those are starting documents to edit, not saved in-app templates.
Per llms.txt (read 20 October 2026): two HTTP calls: upload the file to /api/v1/files, then create the request at /api/v1/requests with recipients, signing order and field coordinates: authenticated with a single API key in the Authorization header, with no OAuth flow and no SDK. Webhooks fire on RECIPIENT_SIGNED and REQUEST_COMPLETED, and embedded signing opens the recipient's signUrl in an iframe with a signedRedirectUrl back to your app. The interactive reference is at quicksigner.stoplight.io.
On each vendor's own page: Signeasy has no free plan, and its Personal tier at $10 a month billed yearly sends 5 documents a month with no templates (read 4 October 2026); signNow's Business is EUR 8 a month billed annually with 100 signature invites a year (read 26 September 2026). QuickSigner's free plan already sends 5 documents a month, and Business at $48 a year per user has no document cap. For a small team sending a few dozen agreements a month the per-seat price is lower and the quota question disappears: check the per-request caps above before relying on that.
