I use RightSignature:

  http://rightsignature.com/

SignSquid charges $9/mo for 10 documents. RightSignature charges $14/mo for unlimited documents.

I enjoy the workflow of RightSignature. I upload the doc/PDF of the contract, or import for Google Docs. I find the fields that need to be filled in, highlight them, and designate who fills it in (me or the counterparty).

I then fill in text fields using a text entry box and the signature using my mouse. They have a good system for tracking the mouse speed to show the width of the line, and the signatures look quite good with minimal effort.

When you want a counterparty to sign, they get an email asking them to follow a link. They then can fill in the fields and sign, without registering for the site. Finally, we both get a PDF of the final contract, and they store the final PDF on their site. You cannot "delete" the contract from their site once it has been executed, which corresponds to the gut feeling that the contract is cannot be undone (without executing a contract that overrides it).

I also think their design looks serious and conveys to proper gravity to a contract signing process.

RightSignture has been for a while, and like the existing solutions it send the documents by email. What legal advantage does it have over simply and directly sending the PDF by email?

With Signsquid we decided to ditch completely the hand-written signature, in favor of a better thought process. We do not go into the contract redaction process, we leave that to the expert lawers. We use a combination of a unique link, sent by email, and a unique secret code, told by phone, for each signatory. This way, we can be sure the good person signed.

As for the design, as always it is a matter of taste :)

Give the application a try, and let us know what you think.
