Legal documents and a lawyer on a membership
Rocket Lawyer is a membership rather than a document shop: the subscription covers unlimited documents, e-signatures and a set amount of time with an actual attorney, which is the part a template site cannot match. For a creator forming a company or reading a sponsorship contract, half an hour of advice is often the whole need. Business formation and registered agent services are priced separately on top.
Our note
The membership is worth it in the year you incorporate or sign something serious, and hard to justify in the years you do not. Use the seven days to get one real question answered, which is a fair test of whether the advice is any good.

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.
