What is SignDesk?
SignDesk now operates as Melento. The old signdesk.com domain sends visitors to melento.ai/en-in with a permanent redirect, and the vendor's comparison pages still have 'signdesk' in their URLs. If a vendor proposal or a colleague mentions SignDesk, they mean the same Bengaluru company. Its main products are electronic signing (OTP, Aadhaar, DSC and click-wrap), digital stamping linked to the National e-Stamping Ledger (NeSL), and contract lifecycle management. The customers it highlights are mostly in broking, lending and fintech, such as Upstox, Fyers, Axis Securities and MediBuddy, and Melento says more than 3,000 businesses use it.
Where Melento is strongest is Indian paperwork rather than plain signatures. Digital stamping covers more than 25 states and UTs, and Melento quotes about Rs 10-40 per stamp as its service charge on top of the stamp duty itself. It also works out interstate differential duty and connects directly to SHCIL in five states. Aadhaar eSign accepts OTP, biometric, iris and face authentication. Templates come in 19+ Indian languages, and signer reminders can go out on WhatsApp. A lending or broking firm that onboards thousands of customers a month can run stamping and signing in one flow and skip buying stamp paper physically.
There are gaps. The best features sit only in Enterprise: API access, PAN-India digital stamping, SSO, liveness checks, SLAs and the 'industry-grade encryption' line all appear only in that column of the pricing table. Corporate adds the audit trail and DSC signing. The basic SMB tier gets Aadhaar signatures, roles and email support, but no audit trail. The pricing page names security badges only loosely, so ask for certificates during procurement. The rebrand also means some review sites and integration listings still use the old name.
Here is how buying works. The free Individual plan allows one user, 3 documents a month and 3 templates, and keeps files for only 30 days. SMB, Corporate and Enterprise prices are hidden behind a monthly/annual toggle on the pricing page. Melento's own Docusign comparison quotes SMB Basic at Rs 449, SMB Advanced at Rs 719 and Corporate at Rs 1,259 without naming the billing period, and its Leegality page says plans start at Rs 400 per user per month. Treat those figures as indicative and get a written quote that states GST and Aadhaar top-up charges. You can cancel for a pro-rata refund within 30 days of activation, but not after that.
What works well
- +Digital stamping across 25+ states and UTs via NeSL, with direct SHCIL integration in five states
- +Aadhaar eSign supports OTP, biometric, iris and face-match authentication for KYC-heavy onboarding
- +Stamping, eSign and contract lifecycle management run on one platform instead of three vendors
- +Free Individual plan lets one user sign up to 3 documents a month without paying
- +Document templates are available in 19+ Indian languages for regional customers
- +Cloud DSC with HSM and auto-sign handles bulk company-side signatures without manual clicks
- +Signer reminders can go out on WhatsApp, which improves completion for retail customers
What to watch out for
- −API access, digital stamping, SSO and liveness checks are locked to the Enterprise tier
- −Audit trail and DSC signing are missing from SMB plans and start only at Corporate
- −Paid plan prices are not shown on the pricing page itself; vendor comparison pages quote differing figures
- −Free plan keeps documents for only 30 days and caps usage at 3 documents monthly
- −No refunds once 30 days pass after activation, so trial the paid plan quickly
- −The SignDesk-to-Melento rebrand leaves older listings and integrations under the previous name
Best suited for: NBFCs, brokers and fintechs that need Aadhaar eSign plus eStamping inside customer onboarding · Enterprises executing high volumes of stamped agreements across several Indian states · Legal and procurement teams wanting eSign and contract management from one Indian vendor · Freelancers needing a few signed documents monthly on the free Individual plan

SignDesk — frequently asked questions
Is SignDesk the same company as Melento?+
Yes. SignDesk has rebranded as Melento, and signdesk.com now redirects permanently to melento.ai/en-in. The products are the same: eSign, digital stamping and contract lifecycle management, aimed mainly at Indian banks, NBFCs, brokers and fintechs. Melento's own comparison pages still carry 'signdesk' in their web addresses, and some review sites continue to list the product under the old SignDesk name, so expect both names during evaluation.
How much does SignDesk (Melento) cost in India?+
Melento has a free Individual plan. Paid SMB, Corporate and Enterprise prices are not printed on its pricing page. Its Docusign comparison quotes SMB Basic at Rs 449, SMB Advanced at Rs 719 and Corporate at Rs 1,259, without stating the billing period, while another page says plans start at Rs 400 per user per month. Enterprise is quoted by sales. Confirm GST and Aadhaar top-up charges in writing.
Does Melento have a free plan or free trial?+
Melento offers a free Individual plan for one user with up to 3 documents a month, 3 templates and basic electronic signatures, but stored documents are kept for only 30 days. The pricing page does not advertise a separate free trial of paid tiers. Paid plans can be cancelled for a pro-rata refund within 30 days of activation, after which cancellation is not allowed, so test thoroughly in the first month.
Can Melento do e-stamping along with eSign?+
Yes. Melento Digital Stamp works across more than 25 Indian states and union territories through the National e-Stamping Ledger, with direct SHCIL integration in five states. It calculates duty, including interstate differential duty, and can collect duty from the second party. Melento quotes roughly Rs 10 to Rs 40 per stamp as its charge, separate from the stamp duty. Stamping via API is part of the Enterprise plan.
Which Melento plan includes Aadhaar eSign and DSC?+
Aadhaar signatures start on the SMB plan, which also adds user roles and email support. DSC signatures and the audit trail start on the Corporate plan, along with phone support. Melento's Aadhaar eSign supports OTP, biometric, iris and face-match authentication. For bulk company-side signing it offers cloud DSC with HSM and auto-sign. Extra Aadhaar signatures beyond your plan are sold as top-ups.
How does Melento compare with Leegality?+
Melento and Leegality both target Indian lenders and fintechs with Aadhaar eSign and e-stamping. Melento's own comparison claims up to 54% savings over Leegality, 25+ stamping jurisdictions and SHCIL integration in five states, but those are vendor claims. Melento also bundles contract lifecycle management. Ask both vendors for per-signature and per-stamp rates at your expected monthly volume, because that usually decides the cost difference.
How does Melento compare with Docusign for Indian businesses?+
Melento is built around Indian requirements: Aadhaar eSign, NeSL e-stamping, 19+ Indian-language templates and WhatsApp reminders. Its comparison page lists Docusign plans at Rs 855, Rs 2,137 and Rs 3,420 against Melento's Rs 449 to Rs 1,259. Docusign remains the stronger choice for international counterparties and global compliance, while Melento suits companies whose signers and stamp duty obligations are mostly in India.
Does Melento have an API for developers?+
Yes, but only on the Enterprise plan. Melento describes an API-first platform for Aadhaar eSign and digital stamping, plus a web portal, mobile SDK and embeddable widgets. The API handles e-KYC, signs on Melento's backend and returns an audit trail report as proof. SMB and Corporate subscribers use the web dashboard only, so developers planning an embedded onboarding flow should budget for Enterprise pricing.
Is data secure on Melento?+
Melento says its platform uses AES-256 encryption and keeps audit logs, timestamps and cryptographically sealed records for stamped documents. Its stamping flow adds face match, liveness and geolocation checks against fraud. The digital stamp page shows ISO 9001:2015 and HIPAA badges, and the eSign product is positioned under the Indian IT Act. Ask sales for current ISO 27001 or SOC 2 reports if your auditors require them.
Does Melento offer support and onboarding in India?+
Melento provides email support from the SMB plan, phone support from Corporate and premium support on Enterprise. Its comparison pages describe guided onboarding, migration of existing agreements and templates, workflow setup and team training, and they claim round-the-clock support. Enterprise buyers also get SLAs and an uptime commitment, which matters if signing or stamping sits inside a customer onboarding journey.
