GoodSign vs. SignNow: A Detailed Comparison

SignNow pricing in 2026

SignNow (by airSlate) moved to flat pricing with unlimited users on every plan. The catch is the invite cap.

Plan Price (billed annually) Users Signature invites included
Business $8 per month (about $96 a year) Unlimited 100 a year
Business Premium $15 per month (about $180 a year) Unlimited 100 a year
Enterprise $30 per month (about $360 a year) Unlimited 100 a year
Site License Quote only, about $1.50 per invite Unlimited Volume-based

Every subscription includes just 100 signature invites a year, roughly eight a month. Past that, invites are metered pay-as-you-go at a rate SignNow does not publish; customer reports range from about $1 to $3.60 per invite. No tier includes more invites; only the Site License lifts the cap. Signer attachments, SMS delivery and the full API sit on Enterprise or the separate API plan. Already on SignNow and want to stay?

Cost Comparison Table

The honest comparison depends entirely on volume. Here it is for a team of 10 users sending 600 envelopes a year on SignNow's middle plan.

Plan GoodSign SignNow (Business Premium)
Users 10 users 10 users
Envelopes per Year 600 600
Subscription $0 About $180 a year (flat, unlimited users)
Envelopes included n/a 100 a year
Cost of the other 500 envelopes $1.50 each = $750 for 500, $900 for all 600 Metered at an unpublished rate; at reported rates of $1 to $3.60 per invite, $500 to $1,800
Total Annual Cost $900 Roughly $680 to $1,980

When each one wins

  • Under 100 signature invites a year: SignNow's flat plan is cheaper. There is no way around that, and we would rather say so.
  • Past the cap: the overage rate decides it. At the low end of reported rates the two are close; at the high end GoodSign costs about half.
  • Occasional or seasonal senders: GoodSign, because a month with no documents costs $0 and credits never expire.
  • Anything that needs signer attachments, SMS delivery or the API: GoodSign includes them on every account; SignNow reserves them for Enterprise or a separate API plan.

Additional Benefits with GoodSign

GoodSign offers additional advantages that enhance cost-efficiency and user flexibility:

  1. Pay Per Use: Pay only $1.50 per envelope, with no monthly fee and no invite cap.
  2. Unlimited Team Members: Add team members for free without any additional costs.
  3. All Features Included: Access to all features without the need for higher-tier plans.

Conclusion

SignNow's flat plan is a good deal for very light senders. Once you pass 100 invites a year, need a feature on the Enterprise tier, or send in bursts, GoodSign's pay-per-use model with every feature included usually costs less and never charges you for a quiet month.
