Our take
Pick Documenso if small teams who will stay on Cloud Free $0 (5 documents / month, 10 recipients, no card) while they send a first PDF, then buy Individual at $25/month when they need unlimited documents — or Teams at $40/month when a second signer seat appears. Pick PDF.ai if readers who will stay on Hobby $0 (1 PDF, 100 questions), then buy Pro at $10/month billed yearly when they need 100 uploads and 1,000
