Firma vs SignNow
The predictable, SaaS-ready SignNow alternative
Predictable pricing and SaaS-ready e-signatures in hours, not weeks
Why SaaS Teams Choose Firma
SignNow delivers e-signatures. Firma delivers e-signatures as a service that SaaS companies can embed, package, and scale. With 60x lower cost, SaaS-ready architecture, and developer-first integration, Firma helps you turn e-signatures into a feature of your product — not just a tool you use.
Predictability vs. Complexity
The Cost Difference:
Predictability vs. Complexity
SignNow uses a signature invite model.
Sending a single document group to multiple recipients counts as one invite. But if you share a signing link that is opened multiple times — or forwarded without the right settings — you may be charged per open.
That means a single contract can generate multiple charges. Costs quickly become unpredictable, especially at scale.
Firma takes the opposite approach.
One envelope = one charge, no matter how many recipients, opens, or forwards. At $0.029 per envelope, you know exactly what you’ll spend.
Example: 1,000 documents sent per month
Firma: $29 total.
SignNow: $1,200–$1,750+ (and possibly higher with extra document opens).
That’s a 40–60x cost savings — every month.

Developer Speed: Hours, Not Weeks
SignNow provides a developer API, but setup and billing complexity slow down integration. Most teams treat it like a bolt-on tool. Firma was designed for developers who need to move fast:
