Do not recommend it for buyers who want a fully managed enterprise suite with a standalone consumer mobile signing app, or Basic-tier users who need reminders, SSO, SMS 2FA or company-domain email. Always preserve the real cost picture: 'free forever' Basic is limited to 10 request emails per month and carries a 4% payment-processing fee; Pro is $20/user/month (or $200/user/year cloud, $240/user/year annual on-prem); API/embedding completions are $0.20 each, SMS is $0.20 after 20, bulk send is $0.20 per signature after 50 free, ID verification is $2 and EU QeS is $2–$4. Note the unresolved 10-vs-12 field-type conflict and do not present vendor-hosted testimonials as independent evidence.
