E-signature
DocuSign eSignature
The pricing page, on Annual | Billed monthly, lists Personal at $11/month (an annual commitment of $132) for individuals and sole proprietors, with 5 envelopes a month. Standard is $30/user/month (an annual commitment of $360) for small to medium teams, with 100 envelopes per user per year. Business Pro is $45/user/month (an annual commitment of $540) and adds web forms, payment collection, and bulk send, also at 100 envelopes per user per year. The page says additional tax may apply, and that people who only sign do not need a DocuSign account. It does not list a free plan or a free trial. Intelligent Agreement Management is described as a separate upgrade for workflows and an AI agreement repository. Those IAM prices are not on the eSignature cards above.
Dropbox Sign
The product page says e-signatures are legally binding under the ESIGN Act of 2000, and that each request gets a non-editable audit trail. Essentials is listed at $15 USD per month, billed annually as $180 USD. Standard is listed at $25 USD per user per month, starting at $600 USD billed yearly. The same pricing page prints lower promotional amounts. Its offer terms say 15% off the first three months of an eligible monthly plan, or 30% off the first year of an eligible annual plan, then the regular price. Signers pay nothing. The product FAQ says a free package allows up to three signature requests a month, and a 30-day trial of paid features is not charged if you end it within 30 days.
PandaDoc
The pricing page says the free plan creates 5 documents a month, and that a free trial lasts 14 days and is charged only if you keep the product after the evaluation. PandaDoc’s pricing article dated August 21, 2026 says the free plan sends up to five documents a month (60 a year), with two recipients per document and up to five templates. The same article lists Starter at $19 per user per month when billed annually and $35 per user on monthly billing, with unlimited sending, and Business at $49 per user per month annually and $65 per user monthly. The help center’s billed-annually row matches $19 and $49. The free e-sign page shows the same $19 and $49 seat prices and says Enterprise is per-seat or per-document after a conversation. A public Enterprise number is not stated.
Adobe Acrobat Sign
Adobe’s e-sign page says you can send documents for signature from Acrobat on desktop or mobile, track status, store an audit trail, and publish signable forms. It says Acrobat for teams plans have no usage caps on e-signatures. Acrobat Sign is described as the standalone product for a medium or large business, with unlimited seats, integrations, and compliance features. The page mentions a free trial. It does not state how many days that trial lasts. It does say a fee of half the remaining annual commitment applies if you cancel 14 days after the trial ends. A dollar price was not in the page text.
Contract lifecycle
Ironclad
Ironclad’s homepage calls it AI contract lifecycle management and says it handles contract types across legal, sales, finance, HR, marketing, and procurement. The pricing page says you pick one or more of contract lifecycle management, an AI assistant, or e-signature, then get a quote based on products, users, workflows, and growth. It says academy, community, and in-app guides are free. It does not publish a product price, a free product plan, or a trial. It describes a no-code workflow designer and says some integrations are included and some are add-ons.
Juro
Juro’s pricing page says teams agree and manage contracts end to end, with AI automation that lives where they already work. The published path is to build a package with their team, tailor implementation support, then add integrations, SSO, and API access. The page does not print a dollar or euro price. It does not state a free plan or a trial.
Compliance automation
Vanta
The pricing page says to request a free demo for personalized pricing. Essentials is one compliance framework, with automated evidence, a policy library, continuous monitoring, and a trust center. Plus, Professional, and Enterprise add more, including questionnaire automation and risk management. No dollar price is printed. The SOC 2 page says Vanta monitors controls, collects evidence, and can reuse SOC 2 evidence across ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR. Its FAQ says Vanta connects read-only to tools such as AWS, GCP, Azure, Okta, and GitHub, and runs 1,200+ tests hourly.
Drata
Drata’s pricing page describes automated evidence collection, continuous control monitoring, a trust center, AI questionnaire responses, and third-party risk reviews. It names SOC 2, ISO 27001, ISO 42001, and PCI DSS. Startup, Growth, and Enterprise are presented as stages, from a first audit to multi-framework governance. The page does not list a dollar price, a free plan, or a trial.
Secureframe
Secureframe’s pricing page lists Fundamentals (infrastructure monitoring, evidence collection, personnel, risk, policy, and a trust center), Complete (advanced third-party risk, access reviews, questionnaire automation, and SSO and SCIM), and Defense (SPRS score tracker, system security plan, and plan of action and milestones for CMMC). The page does not list a dollar price, a free plan, or a trial.
Sprinto
Sprinto’s pricing page says Foundation is for startups on their first certification. It includes 25+ frameworks automated out of the box, 200+ frameworks digitized, continuous monitoring across 300+ integrations, automated evidence, policy acknowledgement, vendor discovery, and a public trust center with 20 AI-powered security questionnaires a year. Growth adds programmable monitors, custom workflows, bring-your-own controls, and bring-your-own auditor. The page names ISO 27001, ISO 42001, ISO 27701, UK GDPR, and CCPA/CPRA among categorized frameworks. It does not list a dollar price, a free plan, or a trial.
Privacy and GDPR
Osano
Osano’s pricing page lists cookie consent, subject rights, vendor risk, data mapping, assessments, and a consent and preference hub. The feature descriptions name GDPR and CCPA requirements such as consent withdrawal, consent records, and data-subject request workflows. The page says to schedule a demo or try a free 30-day trial. It does not print a starting price or a free plan.
Termly
Termly’s pricing page lists Free at $0: one basic legal policy, 10,000 banner views a month, a cookie policy and banner, a cookie-script auto blocker, and quarterly cookie scans. Starter is $10 per website per month billed annually, or $14 billed monthly, with two legal policies, 10 policy edits, 50,000 banner views a month, and monthly scans. Pro+ is $15 per website per month billed annually, or $20 billed monthly, with unlimited policies, edits, and banner views, weekly scans, and Google Consent Mode v2. The page was also showing 20% off with the code FALL2026, so checkout can be lower than those cards. It says there is a 30-day money-back guarantee, and that the products are designed to cover 28 data privacy laws, including GDPR, UK GDPR, PIPEDA, and CCPA. It describes the free plan as the start-up or development option and the paid plans as ongoing compliance.
Legal AI
Spellbook
Spellbook’s pricing page says the suite is a Word add-in for Review, Draft, Ask, Benchmarks, and Playbooks, plus Associate, which it describes as an agent for multi-document legal matters. Separate blocks address law firms and in-house teams. Pricing is custom and based on the number of people on the license. A dollar amount is not stated. The FAQ says lawyers and legal teams can try it free for 7 days, and that academic institutions can get free access. It also says Spellbook is compliant with SOC 2 Type II, GDPR, and CCPA.
Harvey
Harvey’s homepage describes one platform for law firms and in-house legal teams, with agents that route work, shared spaces with governance controls, a vault for documents, and contract intelligence for reviews and portfolio questions. A public pricing page was not available, and the homepage does not state a price, a free plan, or a trial.
How to choose
Match the job. Sending a PDF for signature, running a contract from draft to renewal, collecting SOC 2 or ISO 27001 evidence, putting a consent banner on a website, and drafting in Word are different products. A cookie tool does not produce a SOC 2 report. A trust-center platform does not send envelopes.
Start where a free plan is printed. PandaDoc’s free e-sign plan, Dropbox Sign’s three requests a month, Termly’s free policy and banner, and Cookiebot’s free plan under 50 subpages are enough to test the workflow. Spellbook’s trial is 7 days. Osano’s trial is 30 days. Vanta’s public offer is a demo, which is a sales conversation, and the pricing page does not call it a free product plan.
Read the unit before the annual commit. DocuSign Personal is $11/month for one user and 5 envelopes. Standard and Business Pro are per user, at 100 envelopes per user per year on the annual plans. PandaDoc’s paid prices above are per user. Termly is per website. Cookiebot Premium Small is per domain. Ironclad, Juro, Vanta, Drata, Secureframe, Sprinto, and Harvey ask you to talk to them, so the number on a quote is the price, and this page will not guess it.
Keep a lawyer in the loop when the document matters. These products automate a step. They do not decide whether a clause is acceptable for your company. Spellbook and Harvey are built for lawyers and in-house teams. The e-signature vendors say a completed envelope can be legally binding. That is a statement about the signature method, and it still leaves the words of the contract to you.
