Trust & Compliance

Last updated on 8 September 2026

SignFree is built for solo entrepreneurs, freelancers, and small teams who need honest, practical e-signatures. This page explains how we stay free, what we charge for, where we draw the line, and the legal frameworks our signatures support.

1. How We Make Money

Our core product is free because a small “Powered by SignFree” badge appears on free signing surfaces. Free users spread the word, which keeps the base product free for everyone.

We make money from Pro, which is only for features that cost more to run or that teams need:

White-label branding
SMS OTP verification
Unlimited team members
Priority email support

We do not sell your documents, personal data, or contact lists. We do not charge per document. We do not trick free users into paid upgrades with artificial limits.

2. What Stays Free

The following are free forever for solo use, with no credit card and no trial countdown:

Unlimited signatures and documents.
Quick Send, reusable templates, and Magic Links.
Multi-signer workflows and email OTP verification.
Full audit trail and tamper-evident Integrity Seal.
Signer Portal access for recipients.
Secure cloud storage for signed documents.

Free is intended for honest, regular business use. If we detect abuse, fraud, or activity that is not legitimate use, we may suspend the account without prior notice.

3. What SignFree Is Not

We are honest about our limits:

Not a Qualified Trust Service Provider (QTSP). We do not provide QES, AdES/AES, or government-identity-verified digital signatures.
Not a Certification Authority (CA). Our Integrity Seal is self-signed and tamper-evident; it detects post-execution changes but is not CA-backed.
Not a notarization or legal-advice provider. We do not witness signatures or tell you whether a specific document is legally sufficient in your jurisdiction.
Not certified SOC 2 or ISO 27001. We follow security best practices, but we do not currently hold those certifications.

4. Compliance Overview

SignFree provides Simple Electronic Signatures (SES) with email or SMS OTP, an audit trail, and a tamper-evident Integrity Seal on completed PDFs. SES is designed to support technology-neutral e-signature laws for many commercial contracts.

Regulation	SignFree status
ESIGN / UETA (USA)	Supported (SES)
eIDAS SES (EU/EEA)	Supported
eIDAS AES / QES	Not provided

Always confirm with counsel if your document or jurisdiction requires a higher-assurance signature type.
