Pricing for Adobe's EchoSign e-signature service is tiered. Individuals can sign up for a free account, which is limited to five transactions in rolling 30-day windows. The Pro account allows an unlimited number of signatures for $19.95 a month on a month-to-month basis, or works out to $14.95 a month if you prepay $179.40 for a year.
The Team subscription starts at $40 a month for two users and tops out at nine users for $180 a month. Team accounts let users collaborate on documents, add corporate branding, and access a shared library. Finally, for 10 or more people, the Enterprise and Global subscriptions are $299 and $399 a month, respectively. These two options add a number of enterprise features such as reports, PDF form support, and attached audit trails. The Global option adds localization support in more than 20 languages as well as a global fax-back network service.
You'll need to update to the latest version of Adobe Reader for all the devices on which you intend to use EchoSign, including your desktop (Adobe Reader X 10.1.3), Android, and iOS. A new Sign tab near the upper right corner of the window lets you sign a document or request a signature for the document being viewed.
Signing and sending e-signature requests are easy on Android and iOS phones and tablets. In Adobe Reader for Android, shown above, tapping the pen nib icon would let you sign this PDF document with your finger.
PDF documents also can be sent from a mobile device to Adobe EchoSign for signature processing. On the Android tablet screen shown above, you would tap the Send for Signature option in Share menu.
