    Cleanest signing UX, fastest to set up, and by far the best-documented developer API if you ever want signing inside your product. API tiers start around $20/mo for ~20 envelopes and scale to ~$100/mo at 5,000+, which is unusually transparent - DocuSign, PandaDoc and SignNow all make you talk to sales for API pricing. Standard is ~$30/user/mo.
