SignWith (site) is an e-signature tool with no subscription: you get 3 free documents every month, then pay per document via credit packs starting at $9 for 10 credits ($0.90/doc), or buy a $299 lifetime deal for unlimited documents. Every account includes signing order, email OTP verification, audit trail, and certificate of completion, plus sending from the app, API, or AI assistants via MCP. If you sign only occasionally, several alternatives undercut its per-document price.

SignYu
SignYu (site) lets you Aadhaar eSign any PDF in about 2 minutes, charged at ₹15 ($0.18) per use, with an optional API subscription at ₹999/month ($12) for heavier use. It suits individuals or businesses in India who need Aadhaar-based legal signatures occasionally. There's no free tier, so even a single signature costs money, and the Aadhaar requirement limits it to users with Indian digital ID — not a general-purpose option outside that context.
kysigned
kysigned (site) lets you sign documents by simply forwarding an email, with 4 free documents to start and then $0.25 per document via prepaid packs ($5 for 20 documents). No subscription is required, and a self-hosted open source version is available free. It suits people who want the lightest possible signing flow without logging into a dashboard. The email-forwarding model is convenient but may feel limited if you want a visual app for managing documents.
signready.co
signready.co (site) offers 3 free e-signatures per month, then $1 per document, pay-as-you-go, with no subscriptions. It suits occasional signers who want a straightforward flat per-document price without credit-pack math. The brief doesn't mention features like audit trails or signing order, so it's unclear whether it matches SignWith's built-in compliance extras.
GetItSigned
GetItSigned (site) gives 3 free documents per month, then pay-as-you-go credit packs starting at $3.99 for 5 credits, with purchased credits that never expire. It suits people who sign in small, irregular batches and don't want unused credits to go to waste. At roughly $0.80 per document on the entry pack, it's cheaper than SignWith's starter pack but not the cheapest option on this list.
Kovasign
Kovasign (site) is built for sending, signing, and tracking documents, with a free plan forever (3 documents/month) and paid plans from $5/month (Startup: 30 documents) up to $25/seat/month for Enterprise, billed annually if preferred. It suits small teams who prefer a flat monthly plan over per-document credits. Unlike SignWith, this is a subscription model, so it may not actually be cheaper for someone who only signs a handful of documents a year.
SignovaX
SignovaX (site) targets freelancers with a free plan (3 documents/month) and a Pro plan at $6.99/month (or $4.99/month billed yearly) for unlimited documents. It suits people who sign documents regularly enough that a flat monthly fee beats per-document pricing. Like Kovasign, it's subscription-based, which goes against the "pay per doc" appeal that draws people away from tools like SignWith in the first place.
How to choose
If you sign only a few documents a month, pick the lowest per-document price: SignYu, kysigned, or signready.co. If you sign dozens of documents regularly, a flat monthly plan from Kovasign or SignovaX may work out cheaper than buying credits. If you need SignWith's specific extras — audit trail, OTP verification, API/MCP sending, or a lifetime unlimited option — compare those features directly, since none of the cheaper alternatives list all of them in the brief.
