Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: SignPDF at none against eSign's shown. SignPDF also leads on iOS requirement (6.0 vs 13.0). eSign's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and rating (4.7 vs 4.4). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume 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. SignPDF sells 3 one-off in-app purchases and eSign sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
eSign holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 105 and 123 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 85% of SignPDF's written reviews are positive against 78% of eSign's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
SignPDF ships an update every 3 months, eSign every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 17, 2026.
