What both platforms cover
HelloSign and JustSignNow both deliver Simple Electronic Signatures (SES) that are legally valid for most US documents. Under the federal ESIGN Act and UETA, adopted in 49 states, an electronic signature is binding when it shows intent to sign, signer attribution, and document integrity.
Both services let you upload a document, add signature fields, send the file to one or more signers, and download the executed copy with an audit trail. Both also cover the documents that US small businesses sign every day: NDAs, service agreements, offer letters, consent forms, supplier orders, and invoices.

Where HelloSign stands out
HelloSign offers deeper integrations with Dropbox, Google Drive, Slack, and Salesforce. If your team lives inside those tools, the native connectors can save time. Its higher tiers also support advanced features such as bulk send, templates, team management, and qualified signatures where required.
For larger companies that need dedicated account management, custom branding, or enterprise-grade workflows, HelloSign is the more mature platform. Its paid plans scale upward accordingly.
Where JustSignNow stands out
JustSignNow is built for US users who want a straightforward SES workflow without paying for features they will not use. The Pro plan is unlimited for $7 per month, and the API plan is $39 per month. There are no document caps, hidden upsells, or enterprise onboarding requirements.
The other differentiator is the audit trail. Every completed signature receives an OpenTimestamps proof anchored to the Bitcoin blockchain. That gives you a public, tamper-evident timestamp that can be verified independently of JustSignNow. For small businesses that want long-term evidence integrity without enterprise overhead, this is a meaningful advantage.
Which one should you choose?
Choose HelloSign if you need deep third-party integrations, advanced template workflows, or a platform that fits into an existing Dropbox stack. Its free plan is also slightly more generous on document volume.
Choose JustSignNow if you are a US-based business that mostly signs contracts, NDAs, offer letters, and supplier agreements and you want an affordable, legally binding tool with a blockchain-anchored audit trail. SES is enough for those documents under US law, so paying for higher signature tiers is usually unnecessary.
