The industry pricing model is broken. We created Propper to fix that.

Why Teams Are Leaving Dropbox Sign
Ecosystem Lock-In
Dropbox Sign works best inside the Dropbox ecosystem. If your team uses Google Drive, OneDrive, or anything else, you are fighting the product instead of using it.
The Seat Tax
Every user needs their own seat. 10 users on Standard is $3,600 a year before you even factor in Dropbox Business storage costs. You are paying for headcount, not output.
Deprioritized Product
Since the HelloSign acquisition, Dropbox Sign has received fewer updates. The focus is on storage and collaboration, not signing. Your signing tool should not be an afterthought.
You Only Pay When a Document Is Completed.
Not when it is opened.
Not when it is resent.
Not when it is ignored.
Only when it is completed.
If it does not close, you do not pay.
THE REAL COST
They Bundle Storage.
You Just Need Signing.
Dropbox Sign pushes you toward Dropbox Business plans where signing is an add-on to cloud storage. If your team already has storage sorted, you're paying twice. Propper® charges a monthly subscription for signing. That's it.
What you are paying
Dropbox Sign's Pricing Model
- Per user monthly fee ($20 to $30+ per seat)
- Ecosystem pressure to adopt Dropbox Business storage
- Limited API access on lower tiers
- Bulk send and templates locked behind higher plans
- Branding and customization require premium tiers
- Every new team member adds another seat charge
10 users on Standard = $3,600/year in seat fees. Plus Dropbox storage costs if you're on their ecosystem.
