Dropbox Sign (HelloSign) Alternative
A Better Alternative to Dropbox Sign
HelloSign was a developer favourite - clean API, fair pricing, easy to use. Then Dropbox acquired it, rebranded it as Dropbox Sign, and steadily raised prices while dropping the free tier. SignThem gives you everything HelloSign offered, at prices that make sense again.

Why developers prefer SignThem
The HelloSign API was genuinely good - straightforward REST endpoints, solid docs, reasonable sandbox. After the Dropbox acquisition, the pricing jumped and free API access disappeared. SignThem ships a modern e-signature API built for developers from day one, at pricing that reflects what the product actually costs to run.
Clean REST API
Embed signing flows in an afternoon. Full e-signature API with SDKs, webhooks, and embeddable components.
No per-user tax
Dropbox Sign charges per seat. SignThem is envelope-based - your bill does not balloon as your team grows.
White-label ready
Custom branding and your own email domain on lower-tier plans - no enterprise contract required.
Affordable from day one
Dropbox Sign dropped its free tier after the rebrand. SignThem starts at $6/mo with a 14-day trial so you can build before you commit.
Webhooks included
Real-time event delivery on all plans. Trigger automations the moment a document is signed.
Full audit trail
Every event logged with timestamp, IP, and user-agent. Legally binding under ESIGN, UETA, and eIDAS.
Switching from Dropbox Sign is straightforward
The core concepts are the same - envelopes, signers, templates, webhooks. Your team will feel at home within minutes.
Create your SignThem account
Sign up at signthem.ai and start your 14-day trial. No credit card needed. Your Starter plan lets you send envelopes and test the full API immediately.
Recreate your templates
Import your existing PDFs and rebuild templates in the template builder. Field types (signature, date, text, checkbox) map 1-to-1.
Update your API integration
Swap Dropbox Sign API calls for SignThem equivalents - the REST structure is intentionally familiar. See the API reference for a full endpoint mapping.
Point webhooks to your new endpoint
Update your webhook URL in the SignThem dashboard. Event shapes are documented and consistent - no surprises.
