People ❤️ SignHouse
+ Loved by thousands of happy users
"Helped us close an enterprise deal. Paid for itself from day 1.
Switching Smallpdf for SignHouse is the same as joining a friendly community. Our support team is always happy to help familiarize yourself with SignHouse's features
Made for any team
SignHouse is built to fulfil the needs of teams working in all types of industries, regardless of their sizes. Whether you're working alone or with a team, SignHouse will always help you properly edit PDFs and electronically sign them.
Unlimited signees
We get it, some documents can get really complicated. That is why we haven't set a limit for how many people can sign a document. With SignHouse, you can sign a PDF by yourself, with your team, or with as many clients as needed.
Swap for free
Migrating from Smallpdf to SignHouse's PDF editor is guaranteed to be a headache-free experience. Why? Because our live support team will cover the technical part in your changing — you get to edit PDFs instantly with us.
Online editor
Our PDF editor is online-based, which means that you don't have to install any kind of app to update your PDF files. All you have to do is just go to your online SignHouse dashboard and start making changes to documents.
That's really a good question, and we're happy that you asked it. We'd love to say that SignHouse is the go-to option for your needs, but we need to remain realistic.
Both Smallpdf and SignHouse offer free plans, electronic signing, document builders, a variety of PDF tools, unlimited docs to be signed, and more. But which one's better for you?
To answer your question, we'll have a look at a fair comparison between the two apps.
Check document progress
Smallpdf lacks a feature letting ou track the progress made on a file when sent for signing, while SignHouse lets you see many details.
When sending a document for signing using SignHouse, you can check the new progress made to the file. For instance, you can see when the file was received, opened, and signed.
This can be a really valuable feature when you want to organize your time after sending a document, since you know when signees make further progress on signing your docs.
Free contracts to start from
If you're unsure on how to start writing a contract or agreement, SignHouse has your back with the library of contract templates — something you don't get at Smallpdf.
This is perfect for when you don't want to waste any time on researching what a contract must look like, and rather go ahead and work with a magic solution.
Templates only make it easier for the 3-step eSigning process: Get a template, customize it according to your needs, and send it to your people for signing.
In-person signing
With SignHouse, you can electronically sign documents online, as well as offline. This is yet another thing that you can't do with Smallpdf.
In case you're in the same room as your signees, it's easier to electronically sign documents on the same device rather than sending them via email and waste another 10 minutes.
Simply use the same device to add your electronic signature and your signees' to the same file and spend the rest of the time on something else, such as a more productive to-do on the list.
Better pricing
Smallpdf has a subscription-based pricing model. At SignHouse, we're doing something different than what Smallpdf and other eSignature solutions do.
We're following a lifetime deal model, under which you pay for SignHouse in one tranche (a bigger payment than usual) and enjoy all of our eSignature and PDF builder's features forever.
Our lifetime deal helps you save the time that you'd pay on a monthly basis for all of your users over at Smallpdf. SignHouse makes is so that you simply purchase once and enjoy all of the features without any limits.

Frequently asked questions
No items found.
Are your electronic signatures legal?
Our signatures are 100% legally binding, as SignHouse is built around US and International Laws concerning digital signatures. SignHouse eSignatures are on par with paper signatures, from a legal point of view!
Signing papers digitally started being equal to physical, handwritten signatures in the U.S. eSignature Act of 2000 (U.S. Federal Act) + the Uniform Electronic Transaction Act (UETA). As a consequence, laws in other countries have followed suit. SignHouse is built around these laws.
Are you adding an actual eSignature or just an image?
All signatures are a real, eSignature that is 100% legally binding.
We save important, relevant data (that can be used legally in all types of situations, including in courts) such as identifiable details of a person, IP addresses, etc, just so our electronic signatures can be as valid as digital signatures can get.
What about privacy and security?
SignHouse's signatures are secure for all kinds of businesses and companies. All our signatures happen on a secure, SSL-connected domain. Documents are not made public and unique keys are generated through SignHouse so that privacy and security are at the foundation of the documents on our platform.

We've streamlined the signing process so that your signees can sign your documents with no hurdles at all — and with the smallest amount of steps required. It can take as little as 30 seconds!
