In their own words
Esup-Signature
Esup-Signature is free, open-source software for building document-signing workflows, sending documents to sign, and tracking completion with proof. Workflows can set signers, signature types, and whether everyone at a step must sign. Supported operations include verification and visa, as well as simple, advanced, and qualified electronic signatures. When a workflow mixes signature levels, simple signatures must precede advanced or qualified ones. Any document format can be signed, but only PDFs show a visual signature; other formats use XAdES signatures. The software can check document integrity and display proof files, and it uses the European Commission’s DSS solution for eIDAS signatures and certificate-based verification. PDF forms can become web forms and draw prefilled data from institutional LDAP or custom sources. Users can delegate signing or data entry and transfer requests. Esup-Signature is free at free under the Apache 2.0 license. It is not offered as a hosted service and must be installed on an institution’s own server.
S-Docs
S-Docs automates document generation and e-signatures using CRM data, with templates and workflows designed for Salesforce and direct integration with HubSpot. Salesforce templates can draw on Salesforce data, related data, formulas, conditional logic, and custom Apex. Documents can be generated on demand, through Salesforce Flow, or in scheduled and batch processes. The Salesforce product runs natively inside an organization and processes data on the Salesforce platform. Listed storage options include Amazon S3, Box, and Google Drive. Output types include emails, PDF, DOC, HTML, CSV, DOCX, PPTX, and XLSX files, along with certificates, contracts, and quotes; API access and batch personalization are also listed. S-Docs describes its Salesforce solution as FedRAMP High and DoD IL5 compliant, and its Trust Center lists FedRAMP and SOC materials. The free Salesforce plan allows up to 150 documents and 50 e-signatures. The paid plan is listed at $25 a year, billed annually at $25 per user per month, with a $3,000 minimum contract and 10-license minimum. It requires Salesforce Enterprise, Unlimited, Performance, or Developer Edition, and does not support collecting data through fillable PDFs.
