Xodo Sign (formerly eversign)

1. 1

   You upload a PDF, Word, or image file or pull one from Google Drive, Dropbox, Box, or OneDrive, then place signature, initial, date, text, dropdown, and checkbox fields and assign each to a named recipient. Because Apryse's engine is underneath, you can also edit and annotate the PDF itself before sending rather than going back to another tool to fix a typo.

2. 2

   You send it for signature. Recipients sign in a browser with no account required, and document recipients never need a paid seat. You can set a signing order, add carbon copies, require SMS verification, and schedule automatic reminders. In-person signing lets a device be handed across a desk, and bulk sending dispatches one document to many recipients using metered credits.

3. 3

   Every document carries a detailed tamper-proof audit trail recording names, email addresses, IP addresses, and timestamps for each action, protected with 256-bit HTTPS encryption and unique hash keys so alteration after the fact is detectable. Signed documents are stored across dual secure environments and support auto-expiration, export, and permanent deletion, which is a more explicit set of retention controls than most competitors publish.

4. 4

   Templates hold field layouts and roles for repeated documents, with three included on Basic and unlimited on Professional. Multiple business entities can be managed under one user account, which suits accountants, agencies, and anyone running more than one company. Integrations cover Google Docs, Zoho, Dropbox, Salesforce, and others, and a separately purchased JSON REST API with webhooks handles embedded and programmatic signing.

Per-seat subscription with unlimited documents on paid plans, credit metering for bulk sending and SMS, and a separately priced API product sized by monthly API documents.

Value assessment: At 20 documents a month, Basic at $10 per user billed annually covers it with room to spare, matching Dropbox Sign Essentials and undercutting DocuSign Standard by two thirds. At 200 documents a month nothing changes, because paid plans are unmetered, so a single Professional seat at $16 still covers the lot while DocuSign would need roughly two dozen seats to supply the equivalent envelope allowance and signNow would add over $2,000 a year in overage. That unmetered behaviour is the core of the value case and it holds at any volume a small business will reach. Two things pull the other way. Bulk sending and SMS are credit-metered rather than included, so a business whose volume is concentrated in mass sends will hit a wall the document count never shows. And the API at $50 a month for 50 documents is poor value against eSignatures.com's $0.49 per contract, so machine-driven signing belongs elsewhere. Judged as a human-operated unlimited signing tool with a PDF editor attached, it is one of the best-value products on this page.

Setup time

Fifteen minutes to send a first document. An afternoon to rebuild your routine documents as templates, which is worth doing properly on Professional where templates are unlimited.

Learning curve

Low for sending and effectively zero for signers, who need no account. The PDF editing layer takes a little more exploration, and the credit system for bulk sending and SMS is the one thing worth understanding before you rely on it.

Onboarding

Entirely self-serve with a free plan and a seven-day Professional trial requiring no credit card. Developers get a free API sandbox with two production documents. Enterprise adds a dedicated account manager.

Migration notes

Templates are rebuilt rather than imported from another vendor. Existing eversign accounts migrated to Xodo Sign automatically during the rebrand, so nothing was lost there, but older bookmarks, documentation, and integration references may still point at eversign.com. Leaving Xodo Sign is unusually well provided for: signed documents support export and permanent deletion as explicit account features rather than as a support request, so cleaning up on the way out is straightforward.

Platforms

WebMobile signing on any deviceGoogle Docs and Drive integrationsSalesforce and Zoho integrations

API

A JSON REST API with webhooks, templates, and audit trails on every API plan, sold separately from app seats. A free sandbox includes two production documents, API Light is $50 a month billed annually for 50 API documents across five users, and API Business is quoted with custom limits.

Compliance

Data residency

Documents are stored across dual secure environments; specific regional residency options are not published on the self-serve tiers.

SSO

Not published as a self-serve feature; enterprise identity requirements go through the quoted Enterprise plan.

Security notes

256-bit HTTPS encryption with unique hash keys per document, a detailed tamper-proof audit trail recording names, email addresses, IP addresses, and timestamps, dual secure storage environments, and explicit auto-expiration, export, and permanent deletion controls on signed documents.

Channels

Documentation

Product documentation covering templates, fields, bulk sending, and integrations, plus separate API documentation with a free sandbox for developers.

Community

No large formal user community. A substantial body of third-party material exists but much of it still refers to the product as eversign.

Founded

2015

Headquarters

Vienna, Austria, with Apryse headquartered in Denver, Colorado, United States

Ownership

Owned by Apryse, the document technology company behind the PDFTron SDK and Xodo apps

Employees

Part of Apryse; the eversign team itself is small

Funding

Launched from Vienna in 2015 as eversign and acquired by Apryse in November 2022, then rebranded to Xodo Sign. The Austrian entity eversign GmbH still appears in the product's copyright line.

Xodo Sign is the quiet third quote a small business should get when it is deciding between Dropbox Sign and SignWell, and it often wins. Ten dollars a seat billed annually for unlimited documents is as cheap as unmetered signing gets, and $16 adds unlimited templates, custom branding, in-person signing, and, uniquely at this price, a genuine PDF editor running on Apryse's engine plus an AI contract summarizer. Multiple business entities under one login is a small feature that will decide the purchase outright for accountants and multi-company founders. Two caveats keep it off the top of the list. Bulk sending and SMS are credit-metered, so mass senders hit a ceiling the unlimited document count conceals, and the API at $50 a month for 50 documents is poor value next to per-contract vendors. The published compliance dossier is also thinner than DocuSign's or eSignatures.com's, so if a procurement checklist is coming, check what you need is actually documented. As a human-operated signing tool for a small team that also wrangles PDFs, it is excellent value.
