As businesses accelerate their digital transformation, managing costs while ensuring compliance has become a top priority when choosing an e-signature solution.
eSignGlobal (the international version of e签宝) — a leading electronic signature service provider in the Asia-Pacific region — has built its pricing structure around a two-tier model: essential core services and optional value-added services.
This flexible framework meets the needs of both small businesses seeking simplicity and large enterprises managing complex, high-volume signing scenarios.

1. Core Components of eSignGlobal’s Cost Structure

eSignGlobal’s cost model is divided into required core costs and optional value-added services, with full pricing transparency and no hidden fees.
Companies can flexibly combine plans based on their signing volume and workflow needs, achieving a true “pay-as-you-go” experience.

(1) Essential Core Costs: The Foundation of E-Signature Usage

1️⃣ Platform Subscription Fee (Annual, Choose One Plan)

Plan Annual Fee Description Ideal For
Essential Plan $199 / year Includes document initiation, signing, and basic management; supports 100 signatures per year with additional purchases available Small businesses with light signing needs
Professional Plan $6,999 / year Adds advanced features like 100 templates, smart forms, API integration, and enterprise-grade technical support Large-scale or multinational signing scenarios (e.g., supply chain contracts, HR agreements)

💡 Professional Plan users enjoy free access to integration plug-ins, avoiding additional system connection costs.

2️⃣ Signing Service Fee (Per Document)

eSignGlobal uses a Standard Electronic Signature (SES) pricing model:

  • $4 per document
  • Includes identity verification, document preservation, and compliance auditing
  • Essential Plan: Includes 100 signatures per year
  • Professional Plan: No cap on signing volume; enterprises can customize based on needs

(2) Optional Value-Added Services: Customizable for Specific Business Scenarios

For organizations with special requirements (e.g., system setup, integration, advanced support), eSignGlobal offers flexible add-ons — so companies only pay for what they actually use.

Examples include:

  • Onboarding Service (setup assistance)
  • Add-on Plug-ins (system extensions)
  • SMS Notifications
  • Identity Verification (IDV)

This modular design ensures maximum flexibility and cost efficiency.


2. eSignGlobal vs. Leading Global E-Signature Brands

Compared to major international brands like DocuSign and Adobe Sign, eSignGlobal offers superior value through:
Lower direct costs
Reduced indirect (operational) costs
Broader global compliance coverage


1️⃣ Direct Costs: Over 30% Lower, with No Hidden Fees

Scenario eSignGlobal Global Competitors Result
SMBs (100 signatures/year) Essential Plan $199 + Signing $400 = $599 / year DocuSign Standard Plan $600/year, plus $10 per excess signature eSignGlobal is ~40% more cost-effective
Enterprises (1,000 signatures/year + API) Professional Plan $6,999 + Signing $4,000 = $10,999 / year Adobe Sign Enterprise Plan $15,000/year + API Integration $5,000 eSignGlobal is ~80% more cost-effective

💡 eSignGlobal follows a transparent pricing policy — no account authorization fees, contract binding fees, or signature overage surcharges.
By contrast, some global brands attract users with low initial subscription prices but charge heavily for premium features later.


2️⃣ Indirect Costs: Efficiency Gains that Drive Real Savings

Beyond upfront costs, eSignGlobal reduces hidden expenses through automation and workflow optimization:

  • Faster Signing Cycle:
    Batch and scheduled signing allow hundreds of contracts to be completed in minutes — reducing a traditional 3–7 day paper process by over 60%, saving on labor and courier expenses.

  • Fewer Errors:
    Template management auto-fills contract fields, minimizing manual mistakes.
    eSignGlobal’s electronic contracts reduce error rates by 12.5%, preventing 5–40% annual contract losses due to rework.


3️⃣ Compliance Coverage: 70+ Countries, Full Data Sovereignty

For global businesses, regional compliance can be a major hidden cost.
eSignGlobal supports e-signature regulations in 70+ countries and regions, including:

  • EU eIDAS, US ESIGN/UETA, China PIPL, and Singapore PDPA
  • Localized data centers in Hong Kong, Singapore, and Frankfurt, ensuring compliance with data residency laws

By contrast, DocuSign and Adobe Sign — though widely adopted — provide limited localization in emerging APAC markets (e.g., Southeast Asia, the Middle East), forcing companies to purchase third-party compliance solutions.
