PearSign vs Xodo Sign

PearSign is a platform for drafting, sending, signing, and managing contracts electronically. Users can upload PDF or Word documents, add signature and other fields, send them to signers, monitor status, and receive a sealed PDF. For a new agreement, users can describe terms in plain language to generate an editable draft with clauses to review and change; PearSign says the feature is not legal advice. Guided mobile-first forms accept validated answers and file uploads, and signers can complete them through a link without an account. Completed documents receive an AATL-backed PKCS#7 seal via Sectigo and a certificate of completion. The audit record includes timestamps, signer details, IP address, device and authentication information, and a document SHA-256 hash. PearSign lists integrations including Google Drive, Dropbox, Salesforce, Twilio, and Postmark, plus a REST API and webhooks. Its documentation says test keys are disabled while an isolated sandbox is being built. Free includes 3 envelopes per month; paid plans start at $15 a month. After the monthly allowance is exhausted, new envelopes wait until reset or upgrade.

Xodo Sign is an electronic-signature service with iOS and Android apps, API access, templates, bulk sending, and audit trails. People can sign on computers, tablets, or phones, and signed documents receive timestamped records of actions. Team controls let members be invited, assigned roles, and given permissions. The PDF editor can redact, annotate, reorder, and edit documents. Integrations include Gmail, Chrome, Drive, Google Docs, Dropbox, Evernote, OneDrive, and Box; API workflows include embedded signing and requesting, automation, and webhooks. Listed standards include AICPA SOC II, GDPR, eIDAS, and UETA. Financial-services workflows are described as having built-in encryption and full audit trails. Free signup does not require a credit card. The Free plan is free and includes one document per week, one signer, one seat, and zero active templates. Personal is $3 a month billed annually ($36/year); Basic is $10 a month billed yearly, and Professional is $16 a month billed yearly. A seven-day trial is offered for Basic and Professional.
