SignNow Pricing 2026: Plans, Cost per User, and Invite Limits

SignNow pricing starts at $8 per user per month on the Business plan, but that rate is annual-only and jumps to $20 month to month. Here is what each plan actually costs, how the 100-invite yearly cap works, and what you pay with a flat-rate alternative.

SignSend Pro, flat, no per-user fee

SignNow, owned by airSlate, markets itself as the affordable e-signature option, and its headline price looks low: $8 per user per month on the Business plan. The catch is that $8 assumes you pay for a full year up front. Choose month-to-month billing and the same plan is $20 per user, a jump of two and a half times, one of the widest annual-versus-monthly gaps among the major e-signature tools. On top of that, every SignNow plan caps each user at 100 signature invites a year, and going over triggers per-invite charges.

Below is a plain breakdown of SignNow's current plans, what the annual-only pricing and the invite cap mean for your real bill, and how the total compares to a flat-rate tool that does not charge per user or count your sends. For a small team that mostly needs to get contracts signed, the gap adds up quickly.

SignNow plans and prices (2026)

SignNow sells three self-serve business tiers plus custom Enterprise. Here are the current published prices, shown for both the annual term and month-to-month billing, along with what each tier includes.

Annual prices assume you commit to and pay for a full year up front. Business covers core signing, templates, and basic fields. Business Premium adds conditional fields, advanced sending, and bulk invites. Enterprise layers on tighter security and admin controls. Prices were checked against SignNow's published plans in July 2026 and can change, so confirm the current number before you buy.

What is a SignNow signature invite, and why does it matter?

A signature invite is SignNow's billing unit. It is one request to sign sent to one recipient. Send a contract to a single client and that is one invite. Send the same contract to two signers and, depending on how it is set up, it can count as more. Your plan allowance is measured in invites, not in the number of documents or pages.

The reason this matters is that the allowance is the same on every tier, including Enterprise: 100 invites per user per year, or roughly two a week. That is fine for occasional use, but a recruiter sending offer letters, a real estate agent sending disclosures, or an agency sending steady contracts can pass it in a couple of busy months. Once you do, each extra invite is billed on top of your subscription, so your predictable price becomes a variable one. A flat-rate tool removes that ceiling by not counting invites at all.

The annual-only price trap

SignNow's most-quoted number, $8 per user per month for Business, only applies if you pay for a full year in advance. Month to month, the same plan is $20 per user, and Business Premium climbs from $15 to $30. That is one of the largest annual-versus-monthly spreads in the category, so the headline figure often is not the price a small business actually pays. Teams that want to stay flexible, or that are still deciding whether e-signature software fits their workflow, end up on the higher monthly rate.

If you would rather not lock in a year or track invite caps, a flat monthly plan is simpler. SignSend is a SignNow alternative at a flat $12 a month with no per-user fee, no annual commitment, and no invite limit on paid plans, plus a free plan to start. You still upload a document, place signature and date fields, send it, and get back a completed, tamper-evident PDF with a full audit trail that is legally binding under the U.S. ESIGN Act and state UETA laws. If you are weighing the wider market, our guide to electronic signature software for small business covers what to look for beyond price.

What drives your SignNow bill

Three things determine what you actually pay: the plan tier, whether you commit annually, and how many invites you send.

Annual-only headline price

The $8, $15, and $30 rates all assume a 12-month prepaid commitment. Pay monthly instead and every plan roughly doubles or more: Business goes from $8 to $20, Business Premium from $15 to $30, Enterprise from $30 to $50 per user.

Per-user seats

SignNow prices per user on every tier. A three-person team on Business Premium annual is $45 a month, not $15. Each new person who needs to send documents adds another full seat to the bill, even if total volume stays flat.

The 100-invite cap

A signature invite is one document sent to one signer. Every SignNow plan, including Enterprise, includes 100 invites per user per year, which works out to about two a week. Regular senders reach that ceiling long before the year is out.

Overage charges

Send past your 100-invite allowance and each additional invite is billed on top of your subscription. Your predictable per-user price becomes a variable one, and a busy quarter costs more than the plan suggested.

Tier-gated features

Conditional fields, advanced templates, bulk send, and other workflow features sit on higher tiers. The Business plan covers basic signing, so the real price for a full workflow is often Business Premium or above.

Enterprise quotes

The published Enterprise price is $30 per user per year on the annual term, but high-volume and advanced deployments move to custom quotes negotiated with sales, and the per-invite economics still apply.

How to figure out your real SignNow cost

Three quick calculations tell you what a year of SignNow will actually cost your team.

1

Decide annual or monthly

If you cannot commit to a year up front, use the monthly rate in your math: $20 per user for Business, $30 for Business Premium, $50 for Enterprise. That is what you will actually be charged.

2

Count your seats

Multiply the per-user price by the number of people who send documents. On Business Premium annual that is $15 times your user count every month, billed as one yearly charge.

3

Estimate your invites

Add up how many documents each user sends for signature in a year. Anything past 100 per user is billed as an overage, so heavy senders should budget above the sticker price.

SignNow pricing vs a flat-rate plan

The same core workflow, priced two very different ways. SignSend Pro is a flat $12 a month with no per-user fee and no invite cap on paid plans.

Who feels SignNow pricing the most

Freelancers and solo operators

A one-person business rarely needs Enterprise features but still sends steady contracts and SOWs. Paying a per-user seat plus watching a 100-invite cap is hard to justify for a single sender.

Recruiters and staffing firms

Offer letters, I-9s, and onboarding packets mean high send volume, so the 100-invite yearly cap and per-invite overages bite fast. See our page on e-signatures for staffing agencies for a closer look.

Real estate agents

Disclosures, addenda, and purchase agreements pile up during a busy season, which is exactly when the invite ceiling and overage charges kick in.

Teams that pay monthly

Any team that cannot prepay a full year pays the higher monthly rate on every seat, so SignNow's advertised savings never apply to them.

SignNow pricing questions, answered

How much does SignNow cost per month?

SignNow Business is $8 per user per month billed annually, Business Premium is $15, and Enterprise is $30. Paying month to month raises those prices to $20, $30, and $50 per user respectively. The lowest rates require a 12-month prepaid commitment.

Why is SignNow more expensive month to month?

SignNow's advertised prices assume you pay for a full year up front. On monthly billing the Business plan is $20 per user instead of $8, and Business Premium is $30 instead of $15. The annual-versus-monthly gap is one of the widest in the e-signature market, so the headline price is often not what monthly customers pay.

How many documents can you send with SignNow?

Every SignNow plan, including Enterprise, includes 100 signature invites per user per year, which is about two a week. An invite is one request to sign sent to one recipient. Send more than your allowance and each additional invite is billed on top of your subscription.

Does SignNow have a free plan?

SignNow offers a free trial, but it does not have a permanent free plan for ongoing business use. Its lowest ongoing option is the paid Business plan. If you want a genuinely free tier for light signing, SignSend offers one with no credit card required.

Is SignNow cheaper than DocuSign?

SignNow's annual Business plan at $8 per user is cheaper than DocuSign's entry business tiers, but both cap you at 100 invites or envelopes per user per year and both price per user. On monthly billing SignNow's $20 rate narrows the gap. For a small team, a flat-rate plan often beats either.

What is a cheaper alternative to SignNow?

SignSend is a flat-rate SignNow alternative at $12 a month with no per-user fee, no annual lock-in, and no invite cap on paid plans, plus a free plan to start. You get the same core workflow, signature and date fields, templates, reminders, and audit trails, without the per-seat and per-invite math.

Skip the annual lock-in and invite caps

Send unlimited documents for signature on a flat $12 a month, with a free plan to start, no per-user fees, and no yearly commitment. Legally binding under the U.S. ESIGN Act.
