Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Server Manager at 43% against eSign's 0%. Server Manager also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and device support (4 vs 2). eSign's advantage is rating (4.1 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (55 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Server Manager sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and eSign sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
eSign holds the better App Store score, 4.1 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: eSign has 55 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 43% of Server Manager's written reviews are positive against 0% of eSign's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Server Manager ships an update weekly, eSign every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on June 8, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
