Propper® Sign™ vs Adobe Sign® (Acrobat Sign®)
We built Propper Sign to fix what's broken with legacy e-signature pricing.
Only Completed Agreements Count
Competitors count sent documents against your quota whether signed or not. We only charge for agreements that get completed.
API Included on All Plans
Every competitor charges extra for API access or locks it behind Enterprise. Our API is included at the same price on every plan.
No Per-User Fees
Our Business plan includes unlimited users for a flat annual fee. Add your whole team without worrying about per-seat costs.
One Price Per Agreement
UI, API, bulk send, integrations — all the same price per completed agreement. No “usage credits” or automation surcharges.
Volume Discounts That Scale
From $2.00/agreement down to $0.85 for high-volume users. The more you use, the more you save with transparent tier pricing.
Unlimited Templates
No artificial caps on how many templates you can create. Build your entire document library without worrying about limits.
The Propper Sign Difference
API Included
Adobe requires Enterprise tier (~$480/user) plus ~$1,000/yr for API access—no self-serve option. Our API is included on all plans at no extra cost.
Transparent Pricing
Adobe doesn't publish API pricing; you must contact sales. We publish all our prices openly.
No Per-User Fees
Adobe charges ~$480/user/year on Enterprise (required for API). Our Business plan includes unlimited users for $180/year flat.
Simple Licensing
No confusion between Acrobat Sign, Adobe Sign, or Creative Cloud bundles. Just one product with clear pricing.
