Leegality vs Digio: E-Signature & Aadhaar eSign for India (2026)

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.
• Minimum purchase is 100 eSign credits for esign and 30 stamp papers for estamp, so even a pilot needs an upfront buy.

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.
• Every entry point on the site is a Get in Touch or demo form, with no self serve signup for a small pilot.
