# Signature vs HelloSign

The clearest difference is review sentiment: HelloSign at 100% against Signature's 11%. HelloSign also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6). Signature's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 17 months). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Signature sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year and HelloSign sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

HelloSign holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Signature has 2.6K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 11% of Signature's written reviews are positive against 100% of HelloSign's.

Signature ships an update every 6 weeks, HelloSign every 17 months. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
