APISign vs OneSpan Sign
Enterprise-grade e-signatures without the enterprise complexity. Get started in minutes, not months.
APISign
OneSpan Sign
Why developers look beyond OneSpan Sign
OneSpan Sign (formerly eSignLive) is built for banks and large enterprises. Most developers don't need that level of complexity.
Enterprise-only focus
OneSpan Sign targets large enterprises with complex compliance needs. If you're a startup or SMB, you're paying for capabilities you don't need.
Opaque pricing
No public pricing—you need to talk to sales. Custom quotes often mean lengthy negotiations and annual commitments.
Over-engineered for most use cases
Bank-grade security features are overkill for typical SaaS contracts. You pay for compliance certifications you'll never use.
Why APISign is the better choice
We built APISign for developers who need simple, affordable e-signatures without the enterprise overhead.
True API-first approach
Built from the ground up for developers. Simple REST API, Markdown templates, and comprehensive webhooks.
Transparent pricing
$0.25 per contract. No monthly fees, no per-seat charges, no hidden costs. Know exactly what you'll pay.
Markdown templates
Define contracts in Markdown with variables. No complex document builders or proprietary formats.
