Considered Both Products
Jotform
Chose Jotform
Jotform is a more robust product. It offers more options for document creation and distribution. Very competitive pricing and much more cost effective than other products used.
Chose Jotform
Like I've mentioned previously, their branching logic is just not as sophisticated and can't do as much as I would like it to. Jotform lets you input specific data into a field based off different answers. This is great because it cuts down on how much a user actually has to …
Chose Jotform
Jotform is so much better than google sheets. You get the info right to your email as opposed to having to log into google sheets to get it.
Chose Jotform
Docusign did not allow you to create a template or provide templates, Textedly did not allow you to upload documents and/or modify.
Chose Jotform
Jotform is really just superior. More robust options and more flexability.
Chose Jotform
Jotform works better for our small business with the excellent free features
Chose Jotform
Not used any other products besides Google Forms.
Chose Jotform
Jotform is easier for the customers to use. They don't require any plug-ins or special procedures to be able to fill out the form and send it back to us. Adobe was more steps, and didn't always work as we expected. Making changes to the forms were also difficult after the fact.
Chose Jotform
More question types, conditions, calculated fields.
Chose Jotform
Allows anyone to use this platform
Chose Jotform
Jotform is so much more versatile that Google Forms, which we originally used. Google Forms was blocked by some of our users, where we have not had that problem with Jotform.
Chose Jotform
Jotform is an all-inclusive platform. Google lacks the features, templates, and form fields that are crucial in a form builder for any business. The branding and customization is a level far above what Google offers. I wouldn't go back to Google after working with Jotform as I …
Chose Jotform
Jotform looks more professional when the form is complete, I like being able to have questions side by side and on cards, as opposed to the stacked option google forms provides. I also like the logo addition and customisation options on Jotform. But the main advantage over …
Chose Jotform
I think it's better than mailchimp. Similar to Zapier in that it's just very sleak and user friendly but Jotform even more so. Wix is awesome too to be fair but yeah I'd say Jotform is up there with all of these. Better than mailchimp which can be really frustrating for me. …
Chose Jotform
API integration is smooth and possibility of customization are really really complete. Above all also the final user does not have problem in using the form
Chose Jotform
Google Forms and Microsoft SharePoint
Chose Jotform
We just cannot compare. Jotform is way ahead of the others: much more customization, options, logic... Jotform is just way better.
Chose Jotform
Docusign is more well known for signing legal documents across large enterprise but it was difficult to setup and get started on. Compared to Docusign, Jotform was much easier to build, design and create our first form which we were able to embed on our website straight away. …
Chose Jotform
Jotform's free tier seems stronger than some of the entry-level tiers of other products, which is why we decided to test it.
SignRequest, now part of Box
Chose SignRequest, now part of Box
SignRequest is far and away more afforable than its competitors. Their support is also very responsive and willing to make improvements whereas its competitors seem to be a bit more unapproachable as far as their support goes. I have been able to resolve billing and reporting …
Chose SignRequest, now part of Box
Friendly interface, affordable costs, easy to understand and use, personalized language. You can manage users, templates and documents.
Chose SignRequest, now part of Box
I haven't used this in my role, but as a customer, I have used this program and it was nice. The pricing model, however, is far outside the reach for most small businesses. This is why I didn't consider Adobe Sign when trying to find a solution that meets our business needs.
Chose SignRequest, now part of Box
Less money and easier to set up than more well-branded e-signature platforms. Unlimited contracts on paid plans, which is a lot more than any other e-signature software I've used before. And under the free plan, you can get 15 contracts signed with limited features. For smaller …
Chose SignRequest, now part of Box
When I started this company in 2017, I looked for alternative solutions to getting e-signatures on business documents but never found anything that met our needs well until I encountered SignRequest. At this point we've been using it so long that I honestly can't remember the …
Chose SignRequest, now part of Box
We actually ended up switching to HelloSign after about three months. The main reason was the depth of the Salesforce integration that we needed to have. SignRequest is a really top-notch product for the market they play in. Small businesses especially will be able to use the …
Chose SignRequest, now part of Box
They have an unlimited free plan. In other words, you can sign as many documents as you want for free each month. The others (last I checked) limited your total number of signed docs on the freemium plan. That's certainly nice. SignRequest's upgrades come from more features …
Chose SignRequest, now part of Box
SignRequest is actually easier to use than SigningHub. It's much easier to just go to wherever you need a signature in the document and add the field. It's also got a cleaner interface, in my opinion, which makes it easier to figure out what's going on. I think that for someone …
Chose SignRequest, now part of Box
SignRequest is easier and quicker to use, integrates into Google services, and really is a smooth process overall. I found the other e-sign product I've used to be less user-friendly, and perhaps more dated in its design. With the other product I tried, there were several …
Chose SignRequest, now part of Box
I think SignRequest offers more and more powerful customization options thank competitors. I wasn't a fan of the user interface and usability when trying to customize documents on competitors' products, but SignRequest was easy. I also like SignRequest's template functionality …
Chose SignRequest, now part of Box
Unlike Adobe Acrobat DC, SignRequest is actually designed to request signatures and presents itself as such to my clients. DocuSign is not as user-friendly and approachable as SignRequest in my opinion. Even the free version of SignRequest offers more options and functionality …
Chose SignRequest, now part of Box
Adobe Acrobat left me frustrated and annoyed. I was wasting hours each week trying to upload contracts and agreements and customize them for each client. It never sent right and ended up being more frustrating for us and our clients in the end. So I tested some other tools …
Chose SignRequest, now part of Box
Adobe Sign (formerly EchoSign), DocuSign and Zoho Sign
Chose SignRequest, now part of Box
DocuSign is used in other areas of our business (client contracts, MSAs, SOWs, etc.) because it integrates with Salesforce and because we are a partner. We don't use DocuSign for HR purposes because DocuSign automatically creates a copy of the document in Salesforce, which …
Chose SignRequest, now part of Box
Unfortunately, I have no experience with alternatives. SignRequest seemed the most value for money at the time we made the decision to start e-signing.

It's great for a law firm--especially ours which is paperless--and for any business that needs reviews and signatures constantly. I have recommended it to courts, my general contractor working on our house, and to other law firms that have a hard time getting us their clients' signatures. I think most businesses would benefit from SignRequest!

Pros
  • The ease of use is my favorite part of the Jotform. You don't have to be an IT guru to use it, but the results of your creation will surely make people think you are.
  • Jotform keeps all my event request organized and accurate.
  • Editing forms is done with ease.

  • SignRequest is extremely user-friendly and its interface is smooth and straightforward. It takes the guesswork out of sending contracts and agreements online for review and signatures.
  • SignRequest is easy to set up and customize. I truly like how well its setup is structured. I've had zero issues uploading documents and customizing them.
  • SignRequest also allows you to save documents and use over and over. I really liked this feature as we send a lot of a similar contract out to our clients. We are able to change the amount and tweak the client information quickly and streamline the process.
  • SignRequest sends a final signed document after reach party signs it. I like adding this final PDF to our invoices when we send it out so our clients can keep a digital record of our agreements.

Cons
  • I would love for Jotform to offer an a la carte for some of the products like maybe we pay for more form views and submissions but not all the other stuff.
  • Flexibility in css.
  • More options in the name field, maybe I want the last name first or for it to be a full one entry box.
  • A phone number entry field.

  • Clunky UI when filling in documents that require long-form responses. (Doesn't allow for entering of multiple lines at one time; lots of clicks required to complete a document with many fields)
  • In the free version, can only send one document at a time

Usability
It is very user-friendly and intuitive. The interface is very simple and straightforward. The elements are easily accessible even without having any prior knowledge of the interface. The customer support is incredibly awesome. They respond to you within 24-48hrs tops. They also provide a list of questions and answers that have already been asked.

Support Rating
Their support is truly awful and negligent [in my opinion]. It's rare for me to get so mad as to write a review about it but given what we do, I think it's necessary to document it. We work in mental health and having client data [transmitted] through the API correctly can be a matter of life and death for someone in crisis. We have had repeated issues with this in JotForm and reset the integration multiple times and yet it continues. [In my experience] tags don't transmit, complete contacts are absent, or parts of data [are] missing despite being mapped. [Again, per my experience] their support will initially respond and then you hear nothing. It's been a huge issue and we are leaving them as a result. [I feel] it's truly infuriating and negligent.

Easy to understand supporting documents with a great search feature to easily find the information I need for legal purposes, API connections, how to connect Gmail or G Suite, along with the ability to send a message to them. They don't seem to have an online chat feature or a call option, but that's why it's so inexpensive. Since it's already easy to use, it takes less time to find out information.

Alternatives Considered
Compared to Google and Microsoft, Jotform has a lot more features. I particularly love the e-signature because it makes the form feel more trustworthy for our team.
When compared to the other form builders, it is frankly too expensive for us to use them, while Jotform has just enough features for casual users like us.

Return on Investment
  • It saved me time. Within minutes I was able to create and share forms to collect demographic data.
  • While struggling to use another software, I thought of Jotform and it was able to assist me with collating the data I had to confirm results previously obtained.
  • I could not easily identify what new information was provided in a resubmission by a respondent.

  • We ended up switching vendors after about 3 months due to CRM integration with Salesforce not meeting our needs.
  • The cost was low enough where we did not feel it would be overly expensive with a growing sales team.
  • It allowed us to quickly get set up, and get e-signed contracts out to customers.
