SignNow is solid. It still wants an account and a plan.
Docracy is built for quick agreements — free for two signers, no signup required.
Docracy saves {savings}/mo vs this plan at {seats} seats — one flat workspace fee, not per seat.
See pricing →The problem
SignNow (airSlate) is a capable e-sign product, but free and entry plans still push accounts, feature gates, and upgrade paths that feel heavy when the job is an NDA or a client contract.
The Docracy way
Docracy keeps the path short: upload or start from a free template, place fields, send. Up to 2 signers are free forever with no account for anyone; paid is a flat $10/mo workspace when you need more.
How Docracy compares
- Free for up to 2 signers — no account for sender or signer
- Flat $10/month paid plan — not per seat
- WhatsApp signing links — SignNow doesn't offer this; Docracy includes 1 free/month
- AI-assisted field placement on paid accounts
- Sequential or parallel signing built in
- Honest limit: not for ID-verified enterprise / QES workflows
FAQ
Why switch from SignNow to Docracy?
Docracy is free for up to 2 signers with no account required for recipients, and a flat $10/mo paid plan instead of per-seat pricing. Upload any PDF as-is — no proprietary template rebuild.
Do signers need an account?
No. They open the link and sign — no login, no app download.
Can I import PDFs I already use in SignNow?
Yes. Export the PDF from SignNow, upload it to Docracy, and place (or auto-detect) signature fields. See the /import-from-* guides for step-by-step export tips.
