Per seat vs flat: the math
signNow is genuinely cheap per seat, so be careful with the comparison. For a team of three on Business, about 3 × $8 is $24 a month, almost the same as MultiDocs Team at $25. The differences show up elsewhere:
- Volume. Three signNow seats include about 300 invites a year in total. MultiDocs Team includes up to 1,000 requests a month.
- Growth. At six people signNow Business is about $48 a month; at ten, about $80. MultiDocs stays at $25.
- Plan level. Many teams need Business Premium for features like advanced fields or payments, which doubles the per-seat price.
- Starting free. If you send fewer than 15 documents a month, MultiDocs costs nothing at all.
When signNow is the better choice
- Your team signs and sends mostly from phones and tablets and wants a native app.
- You need an API or integrations with your CRM, Google Drive or Salesforce.
- You want to collect payments when the document is signed.
- You build reusable templates, conditional fields and automated workflows.
- You are one or two people who send a lot and want the cheapest per-seat plan with those features.
