Explore the Benefits of SharePoint eSignature: Security, Flexibility, and Value

With availability in more regions now, it’s a great time to explore the benefits of SharePoint eSignature for organizations looking to streamline their digital signing capabilities. If you missed it, I’ve already covered the basics of enabling SharePoint eSignature in an earlier post.

Unmatched Security: Your Documents Stay Home

When it comes to security, SharePoint eSignature stands out – your documents never leave your tenant. This is huge for organizations that want to keep a tight rein on sensitive information. By keeping everything within your SharePoint environment, you cut down on the risk of data breaches and stay compliant with internal and external security standards without complicating things.

Cost-Effective: Pay for What You Need

Let’s talk numbers. SharePoint eSignature operates on a pay-per-signature model, at just $2 per signature request. This gives you flexibility, allowing you to avoid hefty costs and only pay for what you use.

Here’s how it stacks up against a couple of the leading options in the eSignature market:

  • SharePoint eSignature: $2 per signature, with no upfront commitment.
  • Adobe Sign: $179.88/year, which is about 90 SharePoint eSignatures.
  • DocuSign: $300/year with an annual commitment or $45/month on a monthly plan, equaling around 150 SharePoint eSignatures.

For organizations that don’t need a ton of signatures, SharePoint eSignature is a no-brainer. You avoid the bigger annual fees and just pay for what you use, making it an economical choice, especially if your needs change over time.

Special Offer: Free Monthly Capacity

Microsoft has sweetened the deal with a promo running through June 2025. Set up pay-as-you-go billing, and you get included monthly capacity for several SharePoint Premium services. For SharePoint eSignature, this means 5 free requests each month during the promo period. Learn more about the promotion here.
