Businesses all over the country are recognizing the benefits of using online signatures. The technology reduces paper waste, speeds up the pace of business and can save you time and money. (Not sure how much you can save? Check out this ROI calculator!)
There are five key aspects to digital signature pricing:
Most cloud-based software is priced on volume of users and usage, and digital signatures are no different. But it’s important to know that your signers don’t need a license—they can sign online for free. The only people who need licenses are those who will be sending documents out to be signed.
To cut costs, many companies designate one person to have a license—often a secretary or administrative assistant. Not only does this save money on licenses, but it also cuts down on training time.
If you’re using e-signatures to sign your kid’s field trip permission slip, just about any vendor will probably work for you. There are even free options to get documents signed online for low-risk transactions.
But what if you’re selling life insurance or negotiating a business merger? What if you’re dealing with HIPAA-protected healthcare information? Chances are that you’d like a lot more security than you’d get with a free solution.
The great news is that there are digital signature services with some really amazing security features, including:
Think all of those features sound like they’d cost you a pretty penny? Think again! You can get a digital signature service with these security features for as little as $9.99/month.
When you do business online, it’s critical that you know who you’re dealing with. That’s why digital signature services offer a feature called “identity authentication.” This technology uses information you already know about your signers (like their email address, cell phone number, date of birth, etc…) to protect documents from unauthorized access.
Do you want a ready-made service that you can start using today, or would you rather have a custom-made solution? You're the only one who knows the answer to that question, and your answer will affect the price of your digital signature service.
As a buyer, you have to decide if you want the lower cost of a ready-made product or if you’d rather pay a bit more to get a truly custom-built solution. With an integrated product, you can customize the look and feel of the signing experience to match your company's brand standards. This gives your customers a seamless experience, which will cut down on confusion as they switch between systems.
You might be surprised to hear that some vendors hold the legal evidence for your documents on their own servers. You have to go back to them for the evidence to prove that your documents were actually signed. That can be a huge liability if your documents are ever challenged in court.
If you’re no longer using that vendor, how will you retrieve the legal evidence you need to defend yourself? Picking the wrong digital signature vendor could come back to bite you years down the line.
