What you get with TextoraSign Free
The TextoraSign Starter plan is free forever — not a trial, not a limited-time offer. Here's what's included:
- 5 envelopes per month — send up to 5 documents for signature each month
- Legally binding signatures — every signature is valid under the ESIGN Act and UETA
- Complete audit trail — IP address, timestamp, device, and geolocation for every signature
- No credit card required — sign up with just your email
- Unlimited signing — no limit on how many documents you can sign when someone sends you one

When to upgrade from free
The free plan is perfect for freelancers, small business owners, and anyone who signs fewer than 5 documents per month. If you need more, TextoraSign Pro is just $9/month for unlimited envelopes — still cheaper than every major competitor.
Are free electronic signatures legally binding?
Yes. The legal validity of an electronic signature has nothing to do with whether you pay for the service. Under the ESIGN Act (federal law) and UETA (adopted by 47 states), electronic signatures are valid as long as all parties consent to do business electronically.
TextoraSign provides the same audit trail and legal protections on the free plan as on paid plans. Every signed document includes a certificate of completion with signer details, timestamps, and IP addresses.
