How to choose an electronic signature solution

Looking for How to choose an electronic signature solution for your business, but not sure what option is best for your needs? You aren’t alone.

Electronic contracts are fast becoming the norm across multiple industries. The good news is that electronic signatures are easy and secure to create.

So, what’s the best option between Signit and DocuSign? Here’s what you need to know.

Signit vs. Docusign: a quick overview

DocuSign is one of the largest and most recognized companies in the e-signature space. It’s been a leader in the industry for two decades now. But that doesn’t mean it’s the only choice on the market — nor does it make DocuSign the best option for you.

DocuSign doesn’t offer Arabic language support, nor does it allow you to verify signers through Absher or Nafath. It also doesn’t store the data locally.

While DocuSign does have a few things that Signit doesn’t, such as integrations with CRM tools, Signit makes up for it with better localization and signer authentication.

More importantly, as you can see below, we do all this at equivalent price points.

How to choose an electronic signature solution

If you’re based in or around the KSA, Signit is the right choice. While DocuSign is a global organization, we’ve developed Signit to fully comply with KSA e-signature regulations. 

Signit provides countries in the region with a powerful solution designed for Arabic businesses. On the other hand, if your business is exclusively international outside of Saudi Arabia — and working with a larger budget — then DocuSign may be the better option.
