Foxit eSign review

Foxit eSign comes from the company behind Foxit PDF Editor and is sold in two main plans: Essentials for individual and lower-volume use, and Business for teams, with unlimited envelopes. Sending features include reusable templates, signature workflows, web forms, bulk sending, tracking and reminders. On the signing side it offers a mobile app, in-person and wet signatures, identity authentication, on-demand notary and Foxit Pay for collecting payment as agreements are completed. Signed records go into an included document management system with unlimited storage. Foxit says its signatures follow the U.S. ESIGN Act and UETA and support eIDAS requirements, and its audit trails and signature certificates record signer metadata, IP addresses, full event logs and RFC 3161 timestamps. There is a Salesforce connector and an eSign API for developers. Foxit also offers a free signing tool, but warns that signatures from it are not legally binding, so business use needs a paid plan.
