Both cover legal & contracts. Here is what separates them on price, billing, what you can take with you, and coverage.

Shaded rows are where the two answers disagree and both listings have answered. A row where one side has not stated a fact is left plain, because silence is not a difference.
Policies and a cookie banner for five dollars
GetTerms generates a privacy policy, a cookie policy and the consent banner that has to sit in front of them, priced per website rather than per company. The cheaper plan covers fifty thousand banner views a month and the dearer one removes the cap. Policy edits, regulation monitoring and multiple languages separate the two. This produces a document rather than legal advice, and a business with real exposure should still pay a lawyer to read it.
Our note
Count your monthly page views before taking Starter, because 50,000 banner views is the limit that matters and a site with any traffic passes it quickly. The three-dollar step to Business also buys the regulation monitoring, which is the part that keeps the document from quietly going stale.
E-signatures with unlimited users on every plan
signNow sends documents for signature and charges by the plan rather than by the seat, so adding a collaborator does not change the bill. That is the whole reason a small team picks it over the incumbent. Templates, bulk sending and an API that will fire signature requests from your own software are all there; the interface is plainer than the market leader's and costs a quarter as much.

Our note
Against Docusign this is a quarter of the price for the same job, and the unlimited-users line is what makes it cheaper again for a team. The reason to pay Docusign instead is that clients recognise the name on the email.
