Description: EchoSign has multiple products, including EchoSign Web, EchoSign for SalesForce, and EchoSign Api and Widget, as well as EchoSign for GoogleDocs. The Web version is quite simple to use. You upload a document, and it is forwarded for a signature. You can indicate fields if you want for the person to enter. Otherwise, a simple agreement and initials is all it takes to sign the document. The signed documents are tracked for your convenience. Pricing starts at free for five signatures a month, $14.95 for unlimited signatures, and $99/month for a team of 5 users.
Review: It's pretty hard not to love a product when the sight provides music as I watch the demo, and gives me direct access to everything I want to know, without my needing to sign away my life. EchoSign definitely bends itself in the direction of accessibility. The pricing is terrific. It's free if you only need a few signatures a month. And if you need unlimited, it's $14.95, very competitive.
Comparing EchoSign to it's competitor, DocuSign, there are some disappointments. For example, the idea that my initials are sufficient for signing is not great. I prefer seeing a signature. Also, the tab function, "sign here" appears to be easier in DocuSign, but I didn't get a chance to see a demo of setting it up in either product. However, it does seem that EchoSign is promoting the free-form style.
Some of the advantages of EchoSign are that it has a mobile option, as well as some wonderful other options, such as an API, a Web Option and interface to Google Docs. Some options only come with the high-end Enterprise version.
The winning features for EchoSign (versus its competitors) are that it allows you to request written signature, and oversees the fax return process, and it also lets you send files other than PDF. In the end, it's a tough call: both products are serving a great need, and the competition is only going to help the end users.

Echosign?.... really?
From: luvandp3ace, 08/20/10
Quite seriously, I've seen what echosign can do. Signing with your mouse is the sadest thing I've ever seen. We are in the 21st century and people are still trying to write out cursive with a mouse? Trust me on this one, go with Docusign. There isn't a big difference in price, and the functionalities will make your life easy. I do understand that this review is a bit outdated, but with Docusign you can sign mobile, ipad, etc etc. I don't know why Echosign is saying they are the number 1 provider of online esignatures. I'm pretty positive Docusign his more than 2x the customer base.
