As a second data point, we looked at HS, too. We alter our templates so often that their inflexible pricing rendered them completely out of the running. Other e-sign solutions were just as bad in that respect. IAAL, and the dirty secret is that “handwritten” scrawls aren’t required to form valid electronic contracts. It’s purely a measure to assuage the social presumption that a thing is locked in when all the parties scribble on it. So, we rolled our own workflow with clickwrap assent instead.


We did something similar. Needed e-signatures in our SaaS HR app but when considering all players in the market, including HelloSign, it was really cost prohibitive. We ended up rolling our own e-signature functionality which our users are totally happy with.


Correct it’s the intent. Capturing consent, auditable trail, with a dash of tamper seal and a sprinkle of sugar ;) (do not take my comment as literal advice, also my comments do not represent my company and are my own.)
