Alternatives

The five, in order.

Best Pick

Loop

Download for Mac

Loop is a Mac app that sends a document as your own branded link that people read, mark up and sign in the order you set. You get a signed copy with a record of every signer, and you see who opened the document and how long they spent on each page. Signatures are typed names, simple and quick. Links carry your logo, colours and domain, and your files stay in your own Cloudflare account. It costs $49 once, where DocuSign's Standard plan, the first with your branding, is $300 a year.

For contracts that need advanced signatures, templates at scale or integrations, DocuSign is the stronger tool. Loop vs DocuSign goes through every difference.
