Why developers switch from Adobe Sign
Adobe Sign is part of a massive ecosystem—great if you're all-in on Adobe, frustrating if you just need signatures.
Bundled complexity
Adobe Sign is often sold as part of Adobe Acrobat or Document Cloud bundles. You pay for features you don't need.
High per-transaction fees
Adobe's per-signature fees can reach $5+ on lower tiers, making high-volume use cases prohibitively expensive.
Ecosystem lock-in
Deep integration with Adobe products is great—if you use Adobe. Otherwise, you're paying for compatibility you don't use.
