Contracts and invoices for a solo freelancer
Indy puts proposals, contracts, invoices, time tracking and a client portal in one place, priced for one person rather than for a firm. The free plan allows three of each a month, which fits somebody taking a handful of brand deals a year. Anybody past that will hit the cap in a week and the paid tier is billed two years at a time.
Our note
Bonsai does the same job with better templates and costs more. Indy is the one to pick if the free tier covers your volume, and the two-year lock is the reason to think twice about the paid one.

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.
