Question 1

Is eSign Services actually free?

Accepted Answer

Signing a PDF for yourself is free. You only spend a credit when you download or send a completed document — and new accounts start with free credits so you can try the full flow before paying.

Question 2

Is a free electronic signature legally binding?

Accepted Answer

Yes, provided the tool preserves an audit trail. The ESIGN Act and UETA don't require a paid vendor — they require intent to sign, consent, association, and record retention. Every signature applied through eSign Services meets those requirements automatically.

Question 3

What's the catch with a free e-signature service?

Accepted Answer

Most free tiers cap you at a few documents per month or paywall the audit certificate. eSign Services caps only paid sends — signing your own document and downloading a certified PDF stays low-cost through the credit system, not a monthly bill.

Question 4

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

No. Drop a PDF, sign, download. An optional account lets you track sent documents and buy credits in bulk.

Question 5

Can I send a document for someone else to sign for free?

Accepted Answer

Sending uses one credit per document. New accounts include free starter credits — enough to try the full send flow without paying.
