E-signature is the line item every brokerage pays and nobody audits. Here is what the major real-estate e-sign vendors actually charge in 2026 — published rates where they exist, honestly-labeled third-party estimates where they do not — plus the per-seat math that decides the real bill.
The short answer
Standalone signing runs from $8/month (SignNow Business, annual billing) to $65/user/month (DocuSign’s general business tiers). The real-estate-specific plans sit between: Dotloop Premium $31.99–$34.99/mo, DocuSign Real Estate $25+/mo, PandaDoc Starter $19/seat/mo. What separates them is not the sticker — it is envelope limits, whether your brand or the vendor’s is on the signing moment, and whether signing is bundled with the transaction file or sold separately.
The vendors, line by line
- Dotloop — $31.99–$34.99/mo Premium, $149/mo Teams, broker from $199/mo (published). Transactions and e-signature bundled. The full tier-by-tier breakdown is in what Dotloop costs in 2026, and the side-by-side lives at BrokerDIY vs Dotloop.
- DocuSign — Real Estate Starter $10/mo ($120/yr), Real Estate $25+/mo (published). General business tiers run $30–$65/user/mo (third-party guides), and monthly envelope limits are the catch on most tiers. Details in what DocuSign costs in 2026 and the DocuSign comparison.
- SkySlope — entry around ~$25/mo (third-party reports). Per-user pricing at volume has been reported from $15/user (11–25 users) down to $7.25/user (50+). SkySlope does not publish a rate card. See what SkySlope costs and the SkySlope comparison.
- SignNow — Business $8/mo, Business Premium $15/mo, Enterprise $30/mo on annual billing (published). Billed monthly the same plans run $20/$30/$50. The cheapest credible option if signing is genuinely all you need — with caveats about the branded experience in the SignNow comparison.
- Adobe Acrobat Sign — US$28.98/mo per license for Acrobat Pro + AI Assistant for teams (published). Third-party guides cite roughly $16.99–$23.99/user/mo for Acrobat Standard and Pro for teams; enterprise Acrobat Sign Solutions pricing is not published. See the Adobe Acrobat Sign comparison.
- PandaDoc — Free tier (60 docs/yr), Starter $19/seat/mo, Business $49/seat/mo (published). A document-suite price, not a real-estate one. See the PandaDoc comparison.
Every published figure above was checked from the vendor’s own pricing page between August and September 2026; third-party figures are labeled as such. Verify current numbers with each vendor before deciding.
What per-seat pricing hides at team scale
Per-seat math looks harmless in a demo and compounds quietly. A ten-person team on PandaDoc Business is $490/month for signing and documents alone — before the CRM, the transaction platform, or anything that answers a phone. DocuSign’s envelope limits push active teams up a tier the month business is good. The number to run is the whole stack: signing + transactions + CRM + follow-up, added up, versus one flat platform rate.
What commercial real estate teams should check
Commercial teams sign a different document mix — leases, letters of intent, amendments, estoppels — on a different cadence than residential contract packages. Three things decide the bill: envelope volume (lease cycles burn more envelopes than a per-month cap assumes), brand on the signing page (your brokerage’s name on the moment a tenant commits), and where the executed file lands (next to the deal, not in a separate vendor vault). Run the per-envelope math for your lease volume, not a residential average.
The stack math to run instead
BrokerDIY includes white-label e-sign as a department of the platform — signer authentication, full audit trail, executed files landing on the deal in your brokerage’s private brain — at a flat published rate for the whole platform rather than per seat or per envelope. No per-envelope vendor fees. See the published rate card and how BrokerDIY E-Sign works, or the wider field in the best e-signature software for real estate in 2026.
Bottom line
If you only need signing, SignNow at $8/mo annual is the honest floor and Dotloop’s bundled Premium is the real-estate default. If you are a brokerage already paying for CRM, transactions, follow-up and voice on top of a signing subscription, run the whole-stack number before renewing — and get every quote in writing, ours included. Pricing dated August–September 2026; verify with each vendor.
