13 E-Signature Software Solutions to Accelerate Your Marketing Agency’s Client Onboarding

There’s a specific moment in every client relationship where things can quietly fall apart. It happens right after a verbal yes, when the energy is high, the deal feels done, and then… nothing moves for days. A PDF gets emailed. The client forgot to sign it. Someone on your team chases them up. A week passes. By the time the contract is actually signed, the excitement has cooled, and the relationship has already started on the wrong foot.

That gap has a cost. Around 23 percent of new clients drop off within the first 90 days, and slow, clunky onboarding is one of the biggest reasons why. On the flip side, firms that run a tighter post-yes process, automated steps, fast agreements, and no manual chasing report clients who feel significantly better about working with them before the project even kicks off.

The signing moment matters more than most firm owners give it credit for. It’s not just a formality. It’s the first real experience a paying client has with how you actually run things. Online agreements close in under 24 hours on average. Paper-based ones take around five days. That difference shapes the impression your firm makes before a single deliverable is delivered.

Main Points to Remember

• Moxie: This is a top pick for firms that want a full space where signed paper creates bills and fills out project boards immediately.
• Paperless.io: This is a very good choice for firms that work in different countries and care about logic in documents and GDPR rules.
• PandaDoc: This is a strong tool for creative firms that need to put videos and price charts inside their documents.
• Professional Tip on Starting Quickly: Every extra step in the signing process makes things harder. Data from firms shows that if you cut the number of clicks by 50 percent, it is related to a 15 percent higher rate of finished papers. You should make the screens simple so that the person can sign in and pay without moving to a new part of the web browser.

The tools have also gotten genuinely smarter. The best ones don’t just collect a signature; they use it as the trigger that spins up a project, queues an invoice, and opens a client portal, all without anyone on your team pressing a button. If you’re still copy-pasting client details into a contract and emailing it as a PDF attachment, there’s a better way. Twelve of them, actually, are listed below.

the 13 Best E-Signing Software for Marketing Agencies

DealHub.io

DealHub is not just an e-signature tool, but a complete quote-to-revenue system. While most e-signature platforms end at “document signed,” DealHub keeps going. DealRoom brings buyers and sellers together in a digital environment where proposals are debated, edited, and then signed in one place, without going back and forth through emails. The main difference between agencies is how tightly they integrate with your CRM. Documents that are signed are synced into Salesforce, HubSpot, or Microsoft Dynamics automatically, so when a customer names an item, the pipeline is updated without any interaction.

What it’ll cost you:

DealHub doesn’t publish pricing publicly, so you’ll need to request an initial demo and contact their sales staff for a customized price. Pricing is usually dependent on the size of your team, and the modules (CPQ, CLM, DealRoom, and Billing) are actually what you require.

Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• The DealRoom provides clients with a neat, brand-named space to look over proposals and sign. It is more professional than sending the PDF file to an email.
• Deep CRM integrations ensure that all contracts signed are automatically synced, and your team does not have to transfer data manually.
• The playbooks that are built into the software aid sales reps in staying consistent when they present to customers.

Cons:

• The lack of publicly available pricing is a major problem when trying to conduct an instant budget check. Be prepared to endure sales calls before you can figure out what the cost will be.

Moxie

Moxie goes beyond what a basic signing tool does. It is built to be a full workspace for marketing firms and consultants. To those who run firms, the real value is how it keeps everything connected. When a person signs a paper in Moxie, the program does more than just send a file. It acts as a main hub. The signature starts a set of steps. It changes the paper into a project, makes the first bill, opens a portal for the client, and gives tasks to the internal team.

What it’ll cost you:

• ​Starter: If you’re a freelancer, $12/month will get you almost everything you need to manage and keep your beloved clients happy.
• Pro: For bigger projects where multiple freelancers are working together, $25/month is enough to get you going with workflow automations, communicator phone lines(US, UK, CA), and popular API integrations.
• Teams: $40/month will get you almost everything, including everything from the starter and pro plans, bundled with 1 additional communicator line, and support for up to five team members.

Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• The built-in tracker stops you from typing the same facts twice.
• It has good ways to hide the brand of the software, so you can use your own firm’s name.
• Bills are made right away after a paper is signed.

Cons:

• The list of things it can do, like tracking time or doing math, might be too much for firms that just want to sign a name.

Paperless.io

If your company’s marketing department has clients from Europe or considers GDPR a serious matter, Paperless is built with your needs in the back of your head. Created by and stored in Germany, it goes way beyond simply sending a PDF for a signature. This software’s Rules Engine makes your contracts truly smart. Fields automatically calculate, and sections show or disappear according to what the client is able to input, while the document can be changed without needing to do anything. Pricing is extremely transparent. There are no per-seat charges. No matter if you have two on your team, or even twenty, the cost remains the same.

What it’ll cost you:

• Basic pricing of EUR149/month (billed annually) provides you with 600 documents each year, unlimited users, custom branding, and Zapier/Make integrations. Plenty for a small-scale agency that can send contracts on a regular basis.
• Business: EUR279/month enables 1,000 documents per year. This allows for smart electronic forms online, as well as a conditional rule engine, and a single login for your entire team.
• Enterprise Custom pricing for businesses that require a complete automated workflow, multiple language support for documents, API access, as well as an account manager who is dedicated to the business.

Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• The flat-rate pricing that allows unlimited users is not a common thing in this industry and makes team-based scaling more comfortable.
• The drag-and-drop document builder creates contracts that can think for themselves, calculate, and include conditional sections, calculations, and everything else.
• Every signature is eIDAS-certified, which is the standard of legal validity throughout the EU.

Cons:

• The interface is mostly made available in German, and English-speaking companies might encounter some imperfections in the user interface and documentation for support.

Docupilot

Docupilot is a great position that most agencies realize they require an application that can generate an enormous amount of documents using an existing template, and not simply collect signatures. If you have a large number of clients, and you find yourself making the same proposal using names, budgets, and other details each occasion, Docupilot solves that problem quickly. Connect to your existing CRM and fill in the client’s information, and it will generate the completed, ready-to-send document within a matter of seconds. Signatures are an optional feature that keeps the base cost down even if you do not need signatures in every document.

What it’ll cost you:

• Starter ($29/month): Delivers 100 documents per month and includes 1 user seat, which is suitable for smaller companies with only a small number of client agreements to create each cycle of billing.
• Plus ($99/month): The number of documents it can handle is increased to 500 documents per month, and it includes 3 user seats. It is here that it becomes really useful.
• Pro ($149/month): A solid middle-ground tier that bumps your capacity to 1,000 documents per month and includes 5 user seats.
• Premium ($199/month): This tier is designed for companies that use documents as an essential operating system; it can generate 2,000 documents per month and includes 7 user seats.
• Business ($399/month): Scaled for larger operations, this tier handles 5,000 documents per month across 10 user seats and unlocks invoice billing (with a yearly commitment).
• Enterprise ($699/month): The top tier for massive scale, delivering 10,000 documents per month for 15 user seats, also featuring yearly invoice billing.
• Electronic Signature Add-on: Available across all plans starting at $1.50 per envelope, with volume discounts also available (dropping as low as $0.75 per envelope). (Note: Additional user seats can also be purchased as an add-on for any plan)

Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• The capability to create hundreds of documents populated with data using CRM or CSV and CRM data in a single batch is something that virtually none of the tools in this list can match.
• Integrates with Airtable, Zapier, and SignNow, along with Google Drive, which means it fits in with the majority of workflows used by agencies without any major changes.
• A 30-day trial for free without a credit card requirement lets you try it out before you commit.

Cons:

• E-signatures are an add-on fee instead of a built-in feature, and therefore, the cost is higher than what the base plan would suggest when you’re signing lots of documents.

PandaDoc

PandaDoc could be the closest thing on this list to an all-in-one sales documents platform. It’s also a good option for marketing agencies managing contracts, proposals, and invoices simultaneously; it is actually important. It’s not just a sign-off tool. It lets you create beautiful proposals that include pricing tables, take payments directly from the document, monitor exactly the pages that clients spend the longest on, and then connect all of it with your existing CRM. The free plan is available; however, the true capabilities are only available in paid plans.

What it’ll cost you:

• Free: Unlimited e-signatures as well as uploads of documents for those who only require the basic and do not require complex workflows and integrations.
• Starter ($19/user/month and billed annually) includes drag-and-drop editing capabilities, live tracking, and 24-hour assistance. It’s the first option that’s viable for a real agency.
• Business ($49/user/month Annually billed) Unlocks Integrations with CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive), approval workflows, teams, workspaces, as well as payment collection, the service that the majority of agencies need.
• Enterprise Custom pricing for companies that require API access, automated processes, CPQ, and more personalization.

Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• The built-in collection of payments directly within the signed proposal is an option that no other service on this list has.
• Document analytics will show exactly what the client did, when they opened or read a document, and also the length of time they spent, valuable information for a follow-up call.
• The drag-and-drop library and the template editor create professional proposals quickly enough to ensure that your team doesn’t use them.

Cons:

• Features such as custom branding and integrations with CRM are a part of business plans, which makes the lower tiers available for use by agencies.

Dropbox Sign

Dropbox Sign (what was previously known as HelloSign) offers one key benefit that other options on this list don’t have. If your organization already uses Dropbox, the signed documents will be placed in your folders instantly without downloading or the re-uploading dance needed. In addition to the ecosystem features, it’s a clear, basic, easy, and reliable electronic signature tool that takes away much of the complexity. There’s no evidence of automated proposal creation or automation in this tool. However, for teams that require something to be sent to sign quickly and be sure it will be approved, Dropbox Sign delivers without hindering the process.

What it’ll cost you:

• Free 3 signatures each month, enough to test it, but not enough for running an enterprise.
• Essentials ($15/user/month The Essentials plan ($15/month, annually billed) includes unlimited signature requests with up to five different templates, signing in person, and an audit trail. A solid starter for solo consultants.
• Standard (~$25/user/month Annually billed. It can be extended to 15 templates, includes bulk emailing, Salesforce, and SharePoint integrations, as well as more robust control of admin for larger teams.
• Premium: Custom-designed pricing for enterprises, including SSO and SMS authentication of the signer, HIPAA compliance, and advanced reporting.

Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• If your team already has a home in Dropbox, the integration is seamless. Signature files are placed in the correct folders in a matter of seconds.
• The interface is clear enough that people who aren’t tech-savvy don’t require assistance in getting an item acknowledged.
• A 30-day trial allows you access to premium features before you decide to pay.

Cons:

• The cap on templates for smaller options (5 5 on Essentials) is quite small for agencies that issue different versions of the same contract often.

User Scores:

DocuSign

DocuSign is the software your clients already have a handle on. There’s a reason for it. When you send a contract via DocuSign and the recipient doesn’t think about whether it’s authentic, they’ve seen it before, they’re confident about the process, and then they are able to sign. It’s the most recognizable brand in the field of electronic signatures, with certifications for compliance that cover almost every field and all corners of the globe. On the other hand, the pricing structure, including its envelope limits as well as per-seat billing, could become costly quickly once your company begins sending contracts in the rate of a real quantity.

What it’ll cost you:

• Personal ($10/user/month, payable annually) 1 user 5 envelopes each month. This is only suitable for occasional signers or a light freelance workload.
• Standard ($25/user/month and billed annually) includes up to 100 envelopes each year, shared templates for teams, and real-time comments, which is the starting point for smaller agencies.
• Business Pro ($40/user/month, annually billed). It includes bulk mail payments, attachments for signers, and conditional routing. Where do the agencies that are dealing with the actual volume of documents?
• Enterprise: Customized pricing using SSO, sophisticated authentication features, API access, and compliance features for those in regulated industries.

Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• The universal name recognition ensures that clients do not hesitate when they encounter a DocuSign request. They know it’s secure, rapid, quick, and well-known.
• The compliance standards are among the top in the field, and this is crucial if your company handles the areas of finance or healthcare.
• The list of integrations is long, including ERPs, CRMs, and productivity tools that your team probably already has.

Cons:

• Limits on envelopes for each plan mean that large-volume organizations will reach the ceiling and have to face upgrades or fees for overage earlier than they anticipated.

Adobe Acrobat Sign

If your company is already spending the majority of its time in documents in PDF format, Adobe Acrobat Sign is the most efficient route. Each plan includes Acrobat, which allows you to edit the document, delete sensitive information, and even collect signatures all within the same program. It’s the only application in this list that has PDF editing as a standard feature, rather than a last-minute addition. However, the pricing structure can be a bit ambiguous. The individual plans and group plans are different. The team plans are capped with 150 transactions for each year for each user, and features such as customized branding or collection of payments are included on higher levels.

What it’ll cost you:

• Adobe Acrobat Standard (Individual, ~$12.99/month): Basic PDF editing, sharing, and e-signatures. It is the base of the services Adobe provides.
• Acrobat Pro (Individual, ~$19.99/month) Full Redaction, editing, bulk sending, customized branding, as well as payment integrations. The plan is the one that actually earns its money.
• Acrobat Standard for Teams (~$14.99/user/month): Two-user minimum, includes admin console and 24/7 support, but caps transactions at 150 per user per year.
• Acrobat Pro for Teams (~$23.99/user/month): Everything above plus advanced form creation, custom branding across your team, and all-hours technical support.
• Enterprise: Custom pricing that is HIPAA as well as FERPA compliant. Integrations with CRM (Salesforce and Workday) and API access for embedding signing.

Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• The PDF editing capabilities are truly deep there; you can repair mistakes, edit sections, or sign a document without having to leave the app.
• Microsoft 365 integration comes standard in every plan, which makes it a breeze for companies that use Word as well as Teams.
• The brand’s recognition and legal credibility are comparable to those of DocuSign, especially in corporate and controlled environments.

Cons:

• Plans for teams are limited to 150 transactions per user in a year. This is an aspect that can frighten agencies at the point they’re halfway through their renewal.

HoneyBook

HoneyBook is the result of a person building a CRM that is specifically designed to be used in the work that a creative agency or freelance consultant performs. HoneyBook isn’t trying to rival Salesforce. HoneyBook is designed for those who manage their own clients, managing contracts, proposals, invoicing, and subsequent emails in one go. If a customer signs a contract in HoneyBook, the platform will not just save it; it can also automatically send off an email to welcome them, schedule an onboarding session, and then send the initial invoice without needing to consider it. When your process is uniform from client to client, that alone is worth the cost.

What it’ll cost you:

• Starter ($36/month or $29/month, per year). All you require for booking clients, signing contracts, collecting payment, and remaining organized as a sole proprietor. An organized starting point.
• Essentials ($59/month or $49/month when billed annually) adds automated scheduling, unlimited sessions, QuickBooks integration, tracking of expenses, as well as 2 team members. The most active freelancers and small-sized agencies are.
• Premium ($129/month or $109/month, paid annually) Unlimited team members, multi-brand management in one login, priority support for 90 days, and a special onboarding expert.

Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• The entire client flow, the inquiry and proposal invoicing, contract, and payment, is in one place, which means there is no chance of slipping between the various tools.
• Automation in the Essentials plan takes care of the regular follow-up work that consumes the majority of freelancers’ time.
• The client portal allows your customers a tidy, brand-named, secure place to look at the files and make payments without contacting your company.

Cons:

• The cost jumped dramatically in February 2025. Additionally, the Starter plan can only be used by one user, which means even a two-person team will need to be upgraded to Essentials.

SignNow (airSlate)

SignNow is the best option for agencies that just need documents to be signed swiftly, inexpensively, and consistently without having to pay for many features that you’ll never use. It’s not trying to become a proposal maker or CRM extension. It’s a document signing software; it keeps an audit trail and remains out of your way. The Business plan, which costs $8 per month per user (billed each year), is difficult to beat in price in this price range. The problem is that certain features that you would expect to be normal, such as customized branding, authentication for signers, and conditional fields, are only available to the top levels.

What it’ll cost you:

• Business ($8/user/month, annually billed). The core e-signature feature includes endless templates, fields that can be filled with cloud storage integration. Perfect for small businesses that need to get the basics completed efficiently.
• Business Premium ($15/user/month, annually billed) includes automatic reminders, notifications, and bulk mailing invitations to sign-in links and document groups. A great upgrade for teams that are busier.
• Enterprise ($30/user/month, annually billed) Includes customized branding, advanced signer authentication report, conditional fields, and HIPAA compliance for companies with more stringent demands.
• Site License ($1.50/signature invitation): An alternative pricing option with unlimited users, in which you pay for documents delivered, instead of per seat.

Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• At just $8/month for the business plan, this is among the least expensive choices on this list, and offers unlimited templates and e-signature capabilities.
• The Site License model is genuinely helpful for larger companies in which a lot of people require the sending of documents, but don’t require 24/7 access.
• A free trial of 7 days lets you try the actual product prior to making a commitment.

Cons:

• Custom branding is tied to an Enterprise plan, which means your documents will be branded with SignNow’s style until you’re at the highest level.

GetAccept

GetAccept is the name you look to sign your contract. However, it’s just the end of an ongoing sales conversation and is not the main reason. It is based on the concept of a Digital Sales Room, which is a common area where you and a prospective client can move back and forth with proposals, view videos, post comments, and monitor engagement before putting their name to anything. Marketing agencies that do consultative sales have longer decision-making cycles, and the engagement metrics alone are worth looking at, and you’ll be able to determine the sections of the proposal the client has read, the length of time, and whether they referred it to someone else.

What it’ll cost you:

• eSign ($25/user/month) Access to the basic features of e-signature, as well as up to 5 users. Monthly billing, no commitment to buy annually for this tier.
• Professional ($49/user/month (billed annually) Professional includes the complete digital sales experience, with unlimited rooms, document tracking and insight, document sharing, video messaging, and live editing following send and CRM integrations, including Salesforce.
• Enterprise Pricing: Customized for sales teams with larger sizes that require all-inclusive pricing, dedicated onboarding, and greater automation.

Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• Data on buyer engagement, such as knowing who viewed your proposal, what sections they have spent the most time on, and the time they actually shared the information, will give your team a huge advantage in following up.
• The capability to modify an existing document after it’s received means a misprint won’t ruin the deal.
• The native integrations that it has with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Gong make it an ideal choice for companies that have a CRM in place.

Cons:

• It is important to note that the Professional and Enterprise plans require annual billing, meaning you’re making a commitment to the calendar before you know for sure whether the platform is compatible with your sales processes.

Better Proposals

Better Proposals is exactly what its name implies. It’s made for people who are sending proposals and want them to be visually stunning. Interactive pricing tables embedded in video, chat as the client reads, and a sleek, professional experience that isn’t like an ordinary Word document that is sent as an attachment. The signature takes place within the proposal. If you’ve integrated with a payment processor, the client is able to withdraw a payment when they’ve accepted. For companies that offer proposals as the first real impression that a client receives, their impression is important.

What it’ll cost you:

• Starter ($19/user/month) Includes up to 50 pages per month, legal binding signatures, and interactive pricing tables, payments integrations, as well as the ability to create a content library. For freelancers who require professional proposals with no setup.
• Premium ($49/user/month) All the features of Starter with Unlimited documents, custom domains, integrations with CRM, Zapier/API support, automated expiry dates, as well as onboarding forms.
• Enterprise ($99/user/month) adds approval workflows for managers as well as content locking so that members of the team can’t edit sections that have been approved. Advanced permissions, individual training sessions.

Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• Live chat integration lets you be present in the room with your client as they read your proposal, an instant engagement that no other software on this list provides.
• Analytics reveal who accessed it, the time they stayed on each page, and if they redirected the content internally, which is a useful signal in the event of a follow-up call.
• The payment collection process at the time of signing takes place through Stripe, PayPal, and GoCardless, which means that a user can pay and accept payment in a single step.

Cons:

• Each proposal can only have one signature block. This can be a significant limitation for any agreement that requires multiple parties to sign.

Xodo Sign

Eversign, now owned through Xodo Sign after being acquired by Apryse in 2022, is a cost-effective E-signature solution that is still able to tick the majority of boxes. It’s simple, quick, and legal in all countries. If you’re an agency that doesn’t need an application to build proposals or a complete CRM automation, but an efficient way to deliver contracts for signature and keep the audit trail clean, Eversign delivers a solid service at a cost that does not require a business plan. Its free version lets users test the tires by sending three documents per month, while the paid plans are affordable throughout the enterprise level.

What it’ll cost you:

• Free 3 documents per month and a template. This is fine to test the platform, but not to use as an active agency.
• Basic ($9.99/month and billed annually) Unlimited documents and templates, app integrations, as well as bulk sending. An excellent entry to the solo consultant market, with a constant flow of contract agreements that they can sign.
• Professional ($39.99/month, annually charged) Unlimited templates, documents, and a maximum of five members of the team. Custom branding is available here, as well as authenticating the signer.
• Professional Plus ($79.99/month per month, annually billed) All the above, except for groups of up to 15 with 25 templates, and expanded user management.
• Enterprise Pricing is customized for larger businesses that require large-scale templates, dedicated help, and sophisticated workflow controls.

Pros & Cons:

Pros:

• The ratio of price to feature is one of the highest on this list. You can receive unlimited documents with the Basic plan for less than 10 dollars per month.
• Its audit trails are reliable, and documents are secured from beginning to end. In addition, the software can be SOC 2 certified, so the compliance aspect isn’t a secondary concern.
• The interface is easy enough that people who aren’t familiar with technology are able to sign up without assistance from your staff.

Cons:

• The logo stays visible on Eversign until you upgrade to the Professional level, which means clients with lower plans will see the logo of Xodo Sign but not your own.

Guide for Buyers: How to Pick the Right Online Signature Tool

Picking a tool means looking at more than just drawing a name. You must see how it works with your other tools. You should look for a tool that can help with the whole process after the signature.

You should look for these five things:

• Help from APIs or Zapier: Your tool must talk to other tools. When a paper is signed, it should update your tracker and start emails and folders for you.
• Using Your Own Brand: The paper is the first part of the paid deal. Being able to use your own web name and colors is key to looking like a top firm.
• Good Base Forms: The tool must have a library of forms with parts that stay the same. Legal words should be locked so that only things like names or prices change.
• Working on Phones: Most people use their phones now. Up to 70 percent of signatures happen on a mobile device. If your tool makes people zoom in to see the words, you will lose speed. You need pages that change to fit the screen.
• Following the Law and Being Ready for the Future: Make sure the tool follows the ESIGN Act and UETA in the U.S. Also, look for tools that are ready for the new eIDAS 2.0 laws. Tools with smart agents are also good for firms that have many contracts to watch.

Analysis of the Costs You Do Not See

When you look at the price, you must watch out for fees for each paper. Some cheap plans have a limit on how many papers you can send. If you go over the limit, you might have to pay a lot. As your firm grows and you send more papers, these fees can get very high. It is best to guess how many papers you will send in a year and try to get a plan where you can send as many as you want for one price.

Summing Up: Using Automation to Grow

Moving away from manual work to a smart way of handling papers is about more than just saving trees. It is about keeping the deal moving. By making the time after the signature better, firms can cut down on office work and keep more clients. The tool you pick should be the spark for your whole process of starting a project.

To grow as a freelancer or a big firm, you must act now to be more productive. We suggest you try two tools. We think Moxie is great for a full workspace, and Paperless.io is great for its smart papers. Check how long it takes for a name to be signed and see how the handoff to the manager works. Close the gap between the “yes” and the start of the work.

FAQs:

Is Moxie better than Paperless.io for small marketing firms?

The choice depends on what you need. If you want one place for everything, like trackers, bills, and projects, Moxie is the best pick. But if you already have tools you like and just want a great way to make papers with complex logic, Paperless.io is better for you.

How do online signatures make starting with a client faster?

They stop the boring office work. In the old way, you had to make a PDF, send an email, and wait for the client to print and scan it. Then you had to update everything by hand. New tools do this for you. When a signature is made, the bill is sent, and the team is told right away. This makes everything move faster and helps the client have a better start.

What are the rules for digital firm contracts for the current year?

For a contract to be legal in the U.S., it must fit the ESIGN Act and UETA. This means the person meant to sign said yes to doing it online, and the signature is tied to the record. You also need to keep the paper in a safe place with a record of when it was signed and the IP address. In Europe, you must follow eIDAS. The new eIDAS 2.0 will make this even better by using digital wallets on phones.

Should I care about using my own brand in a signature tool?

Yes. It is very important to look like a professional firm. When a client pays $5,000 a month, they want to see your brand. If they see a different company name, it can look bad. Using your own colors and names shows that you are a top company and helps the client trust you.
