Why teams switch

What pushes teams from SignNow to Chaindoc

Based on consistent themes from G2, Capterra and TrustRadius reviews of SignNow.

No per-seat tax

SignNow Business is $8/user/mo, Business Premium $20/user/mo. You pay even when your team doesn't sign. Chaindoc charges per signature, so silent months cost zero.

KYC and payments — not paywalls

SignNow gates identity verification, bulk send and payment requests behind its Business Premium tier. Chaindoc ships KYC and native Stripe + crypto payments on every paid plan.

Blockchain audit a court can verify

SignNow gives you a PDF Certificate of Completion. Chaindoc anchors a SHA-256 hash on a public blockchain — anyone, including opposing counsel, can verify the document was not altered post-signing.
