AllSign vs Dropbox Sign: More features, better pricing at scale
Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign) is a clean, simple e-signature tool. But it lacks identity verification, WhatsApp delivery, and advanced security features. AllSign gives you all of that with transparent, stamp-based pricing.
- Lower cost at 50+ users
- 30%
- Per Document — Always
- $0.50
- Built-in (Dropbox Sign: none)
- IDV
The problem
What Dropbox Sign doesn't include
Dropbox Sign is simple by design. But simplicity comes at a cost: missing enterprise features you'll eventually need.
02
Paso 2: No WhatsApp delivery
Email-only delivery. In markets where WhatsApp dominates (LATAM, parts of Europe, Asia), this limits completion rates.
03
Paso 3: API pricing is steep
Dropbox Sign API plan: $4,188/year for just 1,000 API requests/month. Higher volume requires enterprise contracts.
04
Paso 4: Tied to Dropbox ecosystem
Best integration is with Dropbox storage. If you use Google Drive, OneDrive, or S3, you lose the ecosystem advantage.
AllSign: enterprise features without enterprise pricing
AllSign includes identity verification ($2.00/check), biometric checks ($3.50), WhatsApp delivery ($30/mo), and full API access — all with transparent stamp-based pricing. No ecosystem lock-in.
