SignedBy vs Adobe Acrobat Sign

Adobe doesn't sell e-signing on its own — it's bundled into an Acrobat PDF-editing plan, and split across three confusingly-named tiers (Standard, Pro, Studio) before API access and integrations push you into a separate, sales-led "Acrobat Sign Solutions" quote. SignedBy is one flat $7/mo with genuinely unlimited documents, AI drafting, and AI quoting built in from day one.

Which one is for you?

Choose SignedBy if…

You just need to send documents for signature — one flat, published price, no PDF-editing suite to pay for along the way, and AI drafting/quoting built in rather than a separate add-on tier.

Choose Adobe Acrobat Sign if…

Your team already lives in Acrobat for PDF editing, or you need Adobe's enterprise-grade compliance stack (FedRAMP, PCI DSS, HIPAA BAAs) and are ready for a sales-led setup to get there.
