signNow Site License: Explore usage-based pricing for your eSignature needs in 2023

As more businesses incorporate eSignature into their routine document workflows, they inevitably land in one of the following scenarios: having to negotiate who gets eSignature access within the organization or overpaying for those who rarely use eSignature (if ever at all). 

But what if you could pay just $1.50 or less for each signature invite instead of forking over loads of money per user?  That’s exactly what you can do with signNow’s usage-based pricing plan, now available. Built on customer request, signNow’s Site License package allows our customers to give access to all their users and not pay an exorbitant charge for that.
You pay only for the eSignatures you use — not for empty seats. 

signNow’s usage-based plan is a great fit for companies who need eSignature across different departments and who will be sending over 1k documents per year. With signNow Site License you can add all your users, which means that someone from Legal who only sends five documents a year can also use eSignature. Customers can combine a web app and API usage if their use case requires that. 

In this blog, we’ll talk about the benefits of usage-based pricing and explore why signNow’s Site License might be a good option for your business.

Subscription-based vs. usage-based pricing

Usage-based services are gaining rapid momentum. According to OpenView, 74% of SaaS businesses will likely offer more products on usage-based pricing in 2023. Meanwhile, three out of five Saas businesses already deployed some form of a usage-based pricing model last year. Let’s take a closer look at the differences between the subscription-based vs. usage-based pricing models.

What is subscription-based pricing?

Subscription-based pricing is a model in which customers pay a flat fee on a regular basis, such as monthly or annually, for access to the software, regardless of how much they use it. This model provides customers with a predictable cost structure and the ability to budget accordingly, but may not be the most cost-effective option since customers are on the line to pay a flat fee, whether or not they use the product.

What is usage-based pricing?

Usage-based pricing, on the other hand, charges customers based on how much they use the software. This pricing model can be more cost-effective for customers, as they only pay for what they use. However, usage-based pricing can be more complex and unpredictable for customers, as they may only know precisely how much they will be charged after using the software. 

Both pricing models have advantages and disadvantages, and the choice between them ultimately depends on the customer’s and vendor’s specific needs and preferences.
