E-signatures with three free documents a month
SignWell does the one job an independent business needs from an e-signature tool: send a contract, get it signed, keep an audit trail that stands up. Templates and reminders cut the chasing. The free plan allows three documents a month from one sender, which covers an occasional client contract and nothing busier.
Our note
Against Dropbox Sign and Docusign this is the cheaper answer to the same question, and the free tier is the differentiator. Three documents a month covers a freelancer who signs a contract per client rather than per project.
Privacy policies and a consent banner
Termly generates the policies a site is legally expected to carry, then keeps scanning for cookies and updating the text as rules change. The consent banner and the policy come from the same place, so the two agree with each other. It is a compliance floor rather than legal advice, and a business with real exposure still needs a lawyer.
Our note
Everything is priced per website, which is the detail that decides it. One site at $10 a month is a fair price for the pages an ad network asks for. Five sites is $50 a month for documents that barely differ.
