Frequently asked questions
What does SignWell cost per year and how is it priced?
Pricing is per sender, not per document or envelope. The Free plan supports one sender and three documents a month. Light is about $10 per month billed annually ($12 monthly) for one sender with unlimited documents. Business is about $30 per month annually ($36 monthly) for three senders. Enterprise is custom and targets teams of 50 or more, high volume and advanced compliance needs. Annual billing saves 20%.
Is SignWell compliant enough for healthcare and regulated industries?
SignWell states SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA and GDPR compliance, with SOC 2 reports and HIPAA business associate agreements available on paid plans. A dedicated 21 CFR Part 11 mode on the Business plan adds one-time-passcode signer authentication, per-signature authentication and signing reasons, plus IQ/OQ/PQ validation documentation. Financial-services buyers get timestamped audit trails aligned to FINRA/SEC recordkeeping expectations.
How quickly can a team be live?
SignWell markets itself on eliminating painful setup: sign-up is free with no credit card, recipients need no account, and documents can be sent in minutes. The MCP server can be installed from the Anthropic Connectors directory in one click, and the REST API is documented with Ruby, Node and Python SDKs, so developer embedding can start on any paid plan.
Can we embed signing inside our own product?
Yes. The full REST API is included on every plan with a monthly allowance of free API documents, plus embedded signing, embedded requesting, embedded template editing, white-label embedding, webhooks, SDKs and a CLI. Custom requesters let you specify a sender per document without creating user accounts first. Case studies such as Compliable and ConveYour describe embedding SignWell directly into their own workflows.
Does SignWell work with AI assistants such as Claude?
Yes. SignWell publishes an official MCP server, installable from the Anthropic Connectors directory for Claude Desktop or via a one-command setup for Claude Code and Cursor. It can draft, send, track, remind and download documents, and templates can be sent directly. Every document starts as a draft and nothing is emailed until the user explicitly confirms.
Are there contracts or cancellation fees?
SignWell states there are no long-term contracts and no cancellation fees. You can pay monthly and cancel at any time, or choose annual billing for a 20% discount. Signing requests are unlimited on paid plans and there is no charge based on how many people sign.
