Canonical: https://goodsign.io/signnow-pricing-hacks Source: GoodSign — pay-per-document electronic signatures (https://goodsign.io) --- No cancelling required · Updated for 2026 # SignNow Pricing Hacks Keep SignNow. Skip the Cap. SignNow's base plan is genuinely cheap — until you pass 100 invites or need an Enterprise-only feature. Route those through GoodSign: no subscription, no invite cap, no quote. $0/month · $1.50/document [Add GoodSign Free →](/register) [See the 6 hacks ↓](#hacks) The idea ## Why the cheap plan isn't as cheap as it looks $8/month, but only 100 invites SignNow's flat pricing and unlimited users are genuinely good. The catch: every plan includes just **100 signature invites a year** — about 8 a month. Past that it's metered pay-as-you-go at a rate SignNow doesn't publish, and no tier includes more. A second system usually costs money Running two subscriptions side by side would be silly. But GoodSign has [no subscription at all](/pricing) — $1.50 per document sent, credits that never expire, and $0 in any month you don't send. Signed is signed, everywhere E-signature law is technology-neutral. A GoodSign document carries the same audit trail, authentication and [legal standing](/is-electronic-signature-legal) as a SignNow invite. Your signers just click a link and sign — no account needed. The playbook ## The 6 SignNow pricing hacks Each one keeps your SignNow plan exactly where it is — and routes the expensive part through GoodSign instead. Hack 01 ### Beat the 100-signature-invite-a-year cap Every SignNow subscription — even the $30/month Enterprise plan — includes just **100 signature invites per year**, roughly 8 a month. Cross that line and SignNow quietly switches to **pay-as-you-go metering at a rate it doesn't publish**. Upgrading tiers doesn't help either: they all include the same 100 invites — only the quote-only Site License lifts the cap. **The hack:** Keep your SignNow plan for its 100 invites, and send the 101st onward through GoodSign at a flat, published $1.50 each. No cap, no metering surprises, and nothing to renegotiate with sales. The math SignNow past 100 invites metered, unpublished Overflow on GoodSign $1.50 each, flat You keep A published rate The one number SignNow won't print on its pricing page. Hack 02 ### Collect files from signers without jumping to Enterprise Need a signed form *plus* a copy of their ID, insurance certificate or proof of address? In SignNow, **signer attachments are an Enterprise feature ($30/month)** — nearly four times the $8 Business plan. On Business or Premium the field simply isn't there. **The hack:** Send those documents through GoodSign. Attachment requests are built into every send — ask each signer for exactly the files you need, and they upload them right in the signing flow. Included in the $1.50, on every document. The math Business → Enterprise for attachments +$264/yr 15 onboarding docs on GoodSign $22.50 You keep $241.50 Attachment requests are included on every send. Hack 03 ### Send and remind by SMS without the Enterprise jump Getting documents in front of signers by text — not just email — lifts completion rates. But **SMS delivery is another Enterprise-only feature** in SignNow, the same $30/month tier as attachments and identity checks. To text one signer, the whole account moves up. **The hack:** Add SMS to any GoodSign send for one extra credit — no Enterprise plan, no minimum. Email is always included; SMS is there when a document needs chasing. The math Business → Enterprise for SMS +$264/yr 30 docs delivered by SMS $90 You keep $174 SMS delivery and verification cost one extra credit each. Hack 04 ### Get full API access without a Site License quote Want to send signatures from your own app or CRM? SignNow's **full API access sits on the quote-only Site License**, or on a separate API plan that starts at **$84/month** (500 invites a year) and climbs from there. Either way it's a second contract on top of your eSignature plan. **The hack:** GoodSign includes a full REST API, webhooks and Zapier on every account — you pay the same $1.50 per document whether you send it by hand or by API. No developer plan, no sales call, no annual quota to prepay. The math SignNow API Starter plan $1,008/yr 100 API sends on GoodSign $150/yr You keep $858 API access is included, not a separate product. Hack 05 ### No free plan? Occasional signing needn't be a subscription SignNow has no permanent free tier — just a **7-day trial**. So the colleague who sends two contracts a quarter still needs a paid seat on the account, at a minimum of **$96 a year**, to sign anything at all after the trial ends. **The hack:** Give occasional senders a free GoodSign account instead. There's no subscription and no trial clock — they pay $1.50 only on the documents they actually send, and $0 in the months they send nothing. The math SignNow Business (minimum plan) $96/yr ~20 occasional docs on GoodSign $30/yr You keep $66 Free account, no trial countdown, credits never expire. Hack 06 ### Send the files SignNow can't Signed the contract — now you need to deliver the 400MB of architectural plans, the video walkthrough, or the full due-diligence folder that goes with it. SignNow caps uploads at **50MB on desktop (15MB in the app)** — it was built for documents, not file delivery. **The hack:** Every GoodSign account includes [GoodSend](/goodsend/secure-file-transfer) — secure file transfer using the same credits. Send up to 20 files, 1GB each, 10GB per transfer, with download tracking and 256-bit encryption. Recipients don't need an account. The math File transfer subscription $120–$240/yr 10 GoodSend transfers $15/yr You keep $105+ Same credit balance you already use for signing.

In practice ## Running two systems is easier than it sounds There's no migration, no import, no switchover date. GoodSign simply picks up the documents that would cost you money in SignNow. Nothing to migrate Your signed SignNow documents stay valid and stay where they are. GoodSign only handles new sends — there's no import step and nothing to move. Signers can't tell the difference Either way, they get an email or SMS, click a link, and sign in the browser. No account, no app, any device. Your recipients don't care which tool sent it. One simple rule for your team Decide it once: routine sends stay in SignNow up to the cap, anything past 100 invites or needing an Enterprise feature goes through GoodSign. Most teams write it as one line in their playbook. Templates work here too Rebuild your most-used template in GoodSign in a few minutes — upload the PDF, place the fields, save. Templates are unlimited on every account. Same-grade security 256-bit encryption, tamper-proof PDFs, full audit trails, ISO 27001, SOC 1 & 2. Enterprise security is the baseline, not an add-on. An exit ramp, if you want one Plenty of teams start with GoodSign as the overflow valve, then let the SignNow renewal lapse once most volume has moved. No pressure — the hacks work either way. Trusted by businesses worldwide ![Trusted brands using GoodSign](/live/img/logocloud2.webp) Questions ## Frequently asked questions Yes. There's no conflict in running both. Many teams keep SignNow's cheap base plan for routine signing and route overflow past the invite cap, signer attachment requests, SMS deliveries and API sends through GoodSign. GoodSign has no subscription, so a second system costs nothing until you actually send a document. Yes. Electronic signature laws such as the US ESIGN Act, UETA, eIDAS in Europe and equivalent legislation in Australia and New Zealand are technology-neutral. A GoodSign document carries a full audit trail, signer authentication, timestamps and a tamper-proof PDF — the [same legal standing](/is-electronic-signature-legal) as a SignNow invite. Every SignNow subscription — Business, Business Premium and Enterprise — includes 100 signature invites per year. Beyond that, SignNow switches to pay-as-you-go at a rate it doesn't publish, and no tier includes more invites. The predictable alternative: send overflow documents through GoodSign at $1.50 each — a flat, published price with no cap. Sending documents by SMS, custom branding, signer attachments, advanced signer authentication, conditional fields and approval workflows all sit on the Enterprise plan ($30/mo). Full API access, single sign-on and premium CRM integrations require the quote-only Site License. GoodSign includes signer attachments and API access at $1.50 per document, with SMS delivery and verification costing one additional credit. No. Signers receive an email or SMS link, review the document in the browser and sign — on any device, with no account and no app. Most signers never notice which platform sent the document. No — credits never expire. That's what makes GoodSign work so well alongside SignNow: buy a small pack, use them only when a document would otherwise trip the invite cap or an Enterprise feature, and they wait as long as it takes. ## Your SignNow bill doesn't have to meter Keep the plan you have. Route the overflow and the Enterprise-only features through GoodSign — $1.50 a document, every core feature included. [Create Your Free Account →](/register) No credit card to sign up.
