This is the biggest difference. eSignly requires a paid subscription from day one — there's no free tier, no trial that doesn't eventually expire. SignBolt gives you 3 documents per month completely free, forever. For occasional signers, freelancers just starting out, or anyone who wants to try before they buy, this makes SignBolt the obvious choice.
eSignly's signing workflow involves multiple steps — account creation, document navigation, field placement, and confirmation screens. SignBolt's streamlined approach gets documents signed in under 3 seconds. That's 8x faster than eSignly. When your clients and partners receive a document to sign, they can complete it immediately without any friction.
eSignly's base plan starts at $15/mo. SignBolt Pro is $9/mo and includes 50 documents, audit trails, and all core signing features. That's a 40% savings — $72 per year that you keep. For small businesses and freelancers watching every dollar, the math speaks for itself.
eSignly requires every recipient to create an account before they can sign a document. This is the number one reason documents don't get signed on time — people see a registration form and put it off. SignBolt removes that barrier entirely. Recipients can sign immediately, no account, no passwords, no delays.
We believe in being straightforward. eSignly might be a better fit if you need advanced document management features like folder organization, document status tracking across large teams, or API access at the base tier. eSignly also offers more robust document workflow automation for mid-size companies with complex signing chains. However, for individuals, freelancers, and small businesses who need fast, affordable e-signatures with a free option — SignBolt is the clear winner.
Start signing documents for free in under 30 seconds. No credit card, no commitment.
