QuoteCloud vs Dropbox Sign

Go beyond the signature: build the quote, let clients pick options, sign and pay in one interactive document, with no second document tool to buy.

The short answer. For quotes and proposals, QuoteCloud is the better Dropbox Sign alternative. Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign) is a simple eSignature tool with a strong API, from US$15 a month billed annually, but it signs documents made elsewhere and doesn't advertise payment collection. QuoteCloud builds the quote with interactive price tables and a product catalogue, includes eSignatures on every plan and takes Stripe or PayPal payments from US$39, month to month.

Why teams choose QuoteCloud over Dropbox Sign

  1. Quote, sign and price in one document

    QuoteCloud builds the quote or proposal with interactive price tables, optional items and a product catalogue, and the client signs the same document. Dropbox Sign adds signature fields to documents you create in another tool.

    In the comparison

  2. Get paid when the client signs

    QuoteCloud Essentials (US$39 per user per month) lets clients pay through Stripe or PayPal from the document. Dropbox Sign's plans and features pages don't advertise payment collection, so you need a separate invoicing or payment step.

    In the comparison

  3. Team pricing without a seat minimum

    QuoteCloud is priced per user, month to month, from US$14.95. Dropbox Sign Standard is US$25 per user per month billed annually with a 2-user minimum (US$600 a year), and Essentials is limited to 1 user and 5 templates.
