Best E-Signature Software in India (2026)

The case for

• The free Individual plan gives one user 3 documents a month with 10 electronic signatures, so the signing flow can be tested before paying.
• Prices are quoted in rupees rather than converted dollars, at 649 rupees a month for Advance Basic or 449 a month when billed annually.
• Aadhaar eSign, DSC signing and non judicial digital stamping are built into the paid plans instead of being sold as an India specific add on.

The catch

• Refunds are allowed only within 30 days of activation, are issued pro rata, and are refused outright once the plan has been fully used.
• Digital stamping on the 1749 rupee Corporate plan covers only Delhi, Gujarat, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, and PAN India stamping needs the Enterprise plan.
• Document allowances stop at 25, 50 or 100 documents a month, and extra Aadhaar signatures are bought by contacting support rather than self serve.

The case for

• Standard costs 800 rupees per user a month billed monthly and 650 billed annually, and signers never need an account or a paid seat to sign.
• Aadhaar eSign, eMudhra eKYC signing and USB token DSC signing are all listed plan features, so the India-legal signature paths are built in.
• The free plan covers one user and five envelopes a month, which is enough for a founder signing the occasional contract.

The catch

• Envelopes sent through the API or third-party apps always consume Zoho Sign credits, whichever plan you pay for.
• Credits are sold only in blocks of 500 at 6 rupees each, so the smallest possible credit top-up is 3,000 rupees.
• Complimentary credits go to Enterprise subscribers alone, at 50 per user a month and capped at 2,500 for the whole organisation.

The case for

• Per-signature rates are published at ₹25 per Aadhaar eSign and ₹15 per non-Aadhaar eSign, which is rare in Indian esign.
• Digital stamping covers 29 or more states, so stamp paper procurement and signature capture sit inside one workflow.
• The Basic plan carries no licence fee and still includes API access, so a startup can integrate esign without an annual contract.

The catch

• The licence-free Basic plan is capped at 1 user and 1 workflow, and is aimed only at budgets under ₹3 lakh per year.
• Premium, Scale and Enterprise pricing is not published and requires booking a custom demo before you see a single number.
• Digital stamping adds ₹45 per stamp paper plus the stamp duty plus ₹500 per stamp order, so small orders carry heavy fixed cost.

The case for

• Digio holds an RBI payment aggregator authorisation, certificate number 166/2024, which lets it run mandates and collections alongside signing.
• The signing application is CERT-In audited and built to CCA and UIDAI guidelines, with failover across multiple CA and ESP integrations.
• eStamping spans Indian states with multi denomination support, a real time credit inventory and audit reports on consumed stamps.

The catch

• Digio publishes no pricing anywhere, and the /pricing URL returns a not found page rather than a rate card.
• The terms and conditions page renders as a heading with no clauses beneath it, so contract terms surface only through sales.
• Capability is split across seven separately branded modules, so buying signing alone does not include KYC, screening or mandate collection.

The case for

• Signing is native to Acrobat and Creative Cloud, so teams already paying for those add no new vendor
• It supports Aadhaar based digital signatures for Indian signers rather than click to sign only

The catch

• Team plans cap at 150 transactions per user per year, and going past that means an upgrade or overage
• Aadhaar transactions are not self serve and need a conversation with a sales or account manager first
• Paying month to month costs 29.99 dollars against 19.99 on annual, a 50 percent premium

The case for

• The free plan sends 5 documents a month with legally binding e-signatures, real time tracking and 24x7 email and chat support.
• Starter costs 19 dollars per seat per month on annual billing and removes the document and signature limits entirely.
• Help centre, web ticket, email and chat support run around the clock on every plan, including the free one.

The catch

• Monthly billing costs 35 dollars per seat on Starter against 19 dollars annually, and 65 dollars on Business against 49 dollars annually.
• Free plan documents past the 5 a month allowance cost 3 dollars each, so a busy month on the free tier is not actually free.
• Salesforce integration, bulk send, web forms, email white labelling and single sign on are optional paid extras on Business rather than included features.
