Best electronic signature software: guides and comparisons
Everything in this category answers one of two questions: is this signature going to hold up, and am I paying for the right thing.
The first is settled law in most of the world and has been for over twenty years, so the honest answer is usually yes, provided four specific conditions are met. The second is where the money goes, because e-signature pricing is per sending user with metered sends, and almost nobody pays the headline rate on the pricing page.
Start with the buyer's guide if you are choosing a tool. Start with the legal post if someone has asked you whether an electronic signature is good enough.
DocuDeal sits on the other side of that decision: the AI writes the document, the signature is included on every plan including the free one, and users are unlimited from Pro rather than priced per person.
Are electronic signatures legally binding? What the law actually requires
Yes in most of the world, under conditions that are easy to meet and easy to miss. The four requirements, the documents that are excluded, and what a signed record has to be able to prove later.
