Jotform vs Signater

Jotform is a web and mobile form and workflow platform with products including Form Builder, Jotform Apps, Tables, Inbox, Mobile App, Sign, Workflows, and AI Agents. Forms support quizzes, payment collection, file uploads, multiple embed options, conditional logic, API access, and document templates. Jotform lists integrations for CRM, storage, payments, email, and automations, and advertises more than 150 integrations on its homepage. The free Starter plan costs nothing and includes five forms, 100 monthly submissions, 100 MB upload space, 1,000 monthly form views, 500 stored submissions, and 10 monthly payment submissions. Starter forms and signed documents carry Jotform branding, and raising the plan limits requires an upgrade. Bronze costs $39 a month; subscriptions are available monthly or yearly and renew automatically unless canceled. Jotform says it uses Google Cloud and AWS and complies with GDPR and CCPA. HIPAA features are available on Gold and Enterprise, while Enterprise is the only multiuser plan and includes enhanced security, custom domains, and SSO.

Signater is a digital contract service that lets businesses send, sign and track agreements through a browser. An envelope can gather several documents and signers into a sequential or parallel process, ending with a completion certificate. Signers can be checked using passwords, email or SMS codes, selfies with liveness checks, identity documents, facial biometrics or geolocation. Reusable templates hold standard text, with fields for variable details and a new version for each edit. The REST API can create and track envelopes, send them, upload documents, use templates, and retrieve signed files and certificates; API and webhook access is limited to Business and Enterprise plans. Webhooks send envelope events by POST and retry automatically. Signater lists HTTPS/TLS, HSTS and AES-256 encryption among its security measures, and signed PDFs can include embedded PAdES signatures, hashes and timestamps. Signers open links on phones or computers without an account or app. The platform and signing flow support six languages. A free plan includes three envelopes monthly; paid plans start at $39/mo.
