What is Zoho Sign?

Zoho Sign is Zoho's digital signature and signing-workflow app. You self-sign documents or send them for signature, set a signing order across multiple recipients, track status, use reusable templates, bulk send, and brand the signing experience. Zoho states that digitally signed documents are legally valid and recognized under the provisions of the Indian Information Technology Act, 2000.

Pricing is per user per month, with a genuinely free plan: Free covers a single user and 5 envelopes per month, Standard is ₹800 per user per month (₹650 billed annually) for 25 envelopes per user per month, Professional is ₹1,200 (₹1,000 annually) and Enterprise is ₹1,600 (₹1,300 annually), both with unlimited envelopes. A pay-per-envelope API plan runs at ₹30 per envelope with no monthly or annual commitment.
