SignNow is the more feature-rich platform, with stronger customization, deeper integrations, and solid support – making it a better fit for larger teams managing complex workflows or compliance-heavy docs.
Agree is simpler, but that’s its strength. It stands out for its smooth user experience and built-in payment processing, which is great for small businesses that want to move fast and get paid without adding extra tools.
Advantages of Agree
Agree has a free tier (though with a limited feature set), while SignNow doesn’t. If keeping costs as low as possible is your top priority, Agree could be the better fit.

| Stackfix Verdict | ||
|---|---|---|
| Functionality | 5 <p>Agree's functionality is nascent. Whilst it excels at payments</p> | 8 <p>SignNow is a solid eSignature solution with a few limitations on advanced features. You can’t edit and re-issue documents, and there’s no signer delegation. It also lacks advanced security like ID verification and knowledge-based authentication, but if passwords are enough, 2FA adds extra protection. The drag-and-drop builder is easy to use with highly customizable fields, and the reports dashboard tracks completion rates, making it easy to handle high document volumes, although advanced reporting isn't available.</p> |
| Ease of Use | 9 <p>Agree's interface is very clean and intuitive. Key features are exactly where you’d expect. Pop-up tool tips are helpful without being intrusive.</p><p>The drag-and-drop builder is similarly easy to use. And the homepage clearly displays the status of your documents (draft, sent, executed).</p> | 7 <p>The platform is easy to use, though advanced document preparation takes some learning. The clean, modern design and field auto-placement make document creation faster. The builder supports custom fields, so you can reuse validation across documents. Bulk sending, auto-reminders, and auto-fill from integrations help speed up workflows. A file upload field means you don’t have to request documents separately, and SignNow lets you collect payments when you share documents. You can also edit and resend documents without voiding them, making corrections quick and simple.</p> |
| Look and feel | 8 <p>Agree provides a modern and fast interface. It lacks any flashes of delight, but that doesn't matter. Pages load quickly and everything feels premium and designed with care.</p> | 8 <p>SignNow keeps things simple—the interface is clean and modern, with everything right where you’d expect. The drag-and-drop builder is easy to use, and while it lacks advanced reporting, the simple reports view makes tracking document status quick. There’s also a handy preview of the email and document before signing while customizing the signing order.</p> |
| Customisability | 5 <p>Agree offers basic customisability - you can upload your logo and brand colour - but lacks the power of some of the larger eSignature platforms. Notably, your can't set the signing order, or set custom field properties. There is also no ability to create custom reports.</p> | 9 <p>SignNow is highly flexible, offering control over branding, field properties, signing order, and team permissions. Users can customize themes, use formula fields, custom fields, and conditional logic. Signing flows include in-person signing and e-witnessing, but API access is needed for deeper customization of signing sessions, view mode, and email notifications. However, custom permissions can’t be defined, limiting role customization. Still, it’s a strong choice for managing security and workflows in detail.</p> |
| Ease of Setup | 8 <p>Agree is incredibly quick to set up. The free tier is self-serve, meaning there's not friction to getting started. And the product is so intuitive that we were ready to send out first contracts out in less than 5 minutes. That said, to access the Teams or Enterprise tiers you need to email Agree's team, which will slow you down.</p> | 6 <p>SignNow offers a free trial, and higher-tier plans are self-serve. The onboarding process is simple, allowing users to create eSignature documents within 5–10 minutes. It integrates directly with many platforms, though HubSpot and PayPal require Zapier. Custom permission profiles and branding are easy to configure. Despite its many features, the help docs are well-organized and detailed. Setting up reusable templates, security settings, and user roles takes a few hours, while enterprise-level setup may take 1–2 weeks.</p> |
| Customer Support | 4 <p>Agree currently offers no Help Centre or Live Chat. The only way to get support is to email the team.</p> | 9 <p>Support is available 24/7 via live chat or by submitting a request. They also offer phone support for corporate accounts. Users can access personalized Q&A through in-app chat, where friendly human agents provide helpful responses within minutes. The platform also offers self-serve support with high-depth, high-quality resources.</p> |
| Integratability | 2 <p>Agree lacks commonly needed integrations - such as with CRMs (e.g. HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive) and non-US-centric accounting systems (e.g. Xero).</p> | 9 <p>SignNow natively integrates with popular platforms like Salesforce, Pipedrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, Stripe, Microsoft 365, and Slack. HubSpot and PayPal require Zapier, which also enables access to thousands of additional integrations. An API is available for custom integrations and automation.</p> |
| Ease of Migration | 5 <p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Agree offers minimal data export options. Finished documents can be exported in PDF format, and audit trails come in CSV format. A major drawback is the inability to download reports for tracking insights across multiple documents. With no native CRM integrations, data syncing is difficult—additional data must be exported via API for customization and automation.</span></p> | 9 <p>SignNow offers multiple ways to export completed document data. Finished documents can be exported as PDFs, with options to include history, attachments, and document ID on every page. Reports can be downloaded as CSV but only include basic fields like documents sent, pending, signed, average completion time, completion rate, signers, and templates. You can also send via fax, easily print, and export to the cloud with quick-access buttons. Native CRM integrations allow seamless data syncing, with additional API export options.</p> |
