What It Is

GoodSign is an e-signature SaaS provided by New Zealand-based GoodSign Limited. Its positioning is very clear: instead of charging per user or forcing a monthly subscription, it charges per envelope/document sent. Users can upload a PDF, drag and drop signature fields, and send it to signers. Signers do not need to create an account and can sign on any device. The final output is a tamper-resistant PDF with an audit trail.

Core Features and Collaboration

GoodSign covers the main e-signature workflow: sequential/parallel signing, multiple signers, templates, self-signing, bulk sending, form fields, attachments, CC, automated email reminders, expiry dates, daily reports, audit trails, and lifetime storage. A standout feature is eWitness, which supports witnessed signatures by linking a witness to the primary signer and automatically controlling the signing order. This is useful for legal, real estate, power of attorney, and similar documents. At the team level, GoodSign supports unlimited users and team members without seat-based pricing, although the website does not disclose detailed role permissions or approval workflow settings.

Pricing and Integrations

The Everyday plan is pay-as-you-go at USD 1.50 per document: 10 credits cost USD 15, and 50 credits cost USD 75. Credits do not expire, and purchases of 1000+ credits receive a 20% discount. New users get 50% off their first top-up. The Pro plan costs USD 1.50 per credit plus USD 10 per user/month, adding 2FA, custom branding, sending domains, email templates, Google Drive, Slack, iFrame, and more. Unlimited is custom-priced for enterprise and high-volume use cases. Integrations include Google Drive, Slack, Zapier, REST API, Webhooks, iFrame, CLI, as well as Node, Ruby, and PHP SDKs.

Security and Compliance

GoodSign states that data is encrypted both in transit and at rest. It provides audit trails including timestamps, IP addresses, and action records, and claims compliance with eIDAS, ESIGN, UETA, and New Zealand’s Electronic Transactions Act. Data center information includes DigitalOcean SFO3 in San Francisco, USA, while the FAQ also mentions the United States or Australia, and references infrastructure certifications such as ISO 27001, PCI, and SOC Type 1/2. No information was found regarding China data residency or MLPS-related compliance.

Pros, Cons, and Who It’s For

The main advantages are predictable costs for low-frequency signing, unlimited users, non-expiring credits, relatively complete API capabilities, and a clearly differentiated witnessed-signature feature. Downsides include the fact that Pro still charges per user, SMS, SMS verification, and eWitness consume additional credits, enterprise pricing is not transparent, and access performance and local compliance in China are unclear. GoodSign is suitable for SMEs, legal teams, real estate, HR, medical consent forms, contract signing, and teams that need to embed signing via API.

Access from China

The collected text does not provide information on mainland China access speed, ICP filing, Chinese-language interface, RMB billing, or local invoicing. Payment methods disclosed are Visa, Mastercard, and American Express processed via Stripe. For Chinese users who require local contract judicial practice alignment, electronic seals, invoices, and data compliance, domestic alternatives such as 契约锁, 上上签, and 法大大 may be worth evaluating as well.
