Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: SignNow at 18K against Document Signer's 26. SignNow also leads on chart position (#74 vs unranked). Document Signer's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (75% vs 65%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases 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. SignNow sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Document Signer sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Document Signer holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SignNow has 18K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 65% of SignNow's written reviews are positive against 75% of Document Signer's.
SignNow ships an update weekly, Document Signer every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 14, 2026 respectively.
