Audit trail on every request

Send a PDF for signature

Your signers never need an account. They click the link in their email and sign in the browser while you track every step from your dashboard. The free plan covers 3 requests a month; sending takes a free login.

1. They get an email
A private signing link, no account needed
2. You watch the status
Sent, viewed, signed, on your dashboard
3. Everyone gets the copy
Signed PDF plus the audit certificate
HOW IT WORKS
1

Upload and place fields

Pick the PDF, add the signer's email, and drop signature fields where they belong on the page.

2

Send the request

The signer gets an email with a private link and signs in the browser, from any device.

3

Collect the signed copy

When the last signature lands, everyone gets the finished PDF with its audit certificate attached.

For your signers

The easy half is theirs

A signer opens the email, taps the link, and lands on the document with their fields highlighted. They draw or type a signature, fill what is theirs, and press finish. Works on a phone from the train.

If they have questions first, they can decline with a note instead of leaving the request hanging. You hear about it right away and can send a corrected version.

Proof, not promises

What the audit trail records

Every request keeps a tamper-evident log: when it was sent, when the document was opened, when the signer agreed to sign electronically, and when they signed, with the network address and device recorded at each step. The finished PDF ships with a certificate page that lays all of this out, plus a document fingerprint you can use to prove the file was not changed afterwards.

One honest note: this is a standard electronic signature, the kind used for everyday contracts, leases, and offer letters. It is not a government-issued digital ID, and a few document types like wills still commonly require ink.

Plain pricing

The limits, stated up front

Free: 3 signature requests every 30 days, two people per request, audit trail and certificate always included. Pro: unlimited requests and up to ten people per document for $3.99 a month. Most tools in this space start around $10 per user and hide their free caps in a mid-task popup; ours are in this paragraph.

Signing a document yourself is a different, simpler job, and it stays free without an account on the sign PDF page.

Sending for signature, answered

Does the person signing need an account?+

They click the link in their email and sign in the browser, on any device. Only the sender has a login.

How do I send a PDF for signature?+

Upload the PDF, type the signer's email, place the signature fields on the page, and hit send. You can watch the status change from sent to viewed to signed on your dashboard.

Is it free to send documents for signature?+

The free plan covers 3 signature requests every 30 days, audit trail included. Sending needs a free account so your dashboard and reminders stay tied to you. Pro removes the cap for $3.99 a month.

What is an audit trail?+

A record attached to the signed document showing who signed, when, and from what device or address. It is what makes a signature request verifiable later.

Will the signed document hold up in court?+

Generally yes, if the signer clearly intended to sign and the document was not changed afterwards. The audit trail and the tamper-evident fingerprint on the certificate are the evidence courts look at.

Can more than one person sign the same document?+

A request can include two people on the free plan and up to ten on Pro. The send screen currently focuses on one signer plus an optional cc; fuller multi-signer routing is on the way.

What happens if the signer declines?+

The request closes, you get an email with their reason if they gave one, and every signing link stops working. Fix the document and send a fresh request.

How long does a signing link last?+

30 days. While a request is open you can send a reminder or a fresh link from the dashboard, and you can cancel it at any time.

Is my document safe while it is out for signature?+

It travels over an encrypted connection and is stored only while the request is active, then removed 30 days after completion. The audit record is kept so the signature stays verifiable.

Get that document signed

Upload it, place the fields, send. You will know the moment it is opened and the moment it is signed.
