Best QuoteWerks alternatives for HubSpot teams (2026)

QuoteWerks has been around since the 1990s — and it shows. It's a Windows desktop application in a world where sales teams live in browsers. The HubSpot integration works through a connector rather than running natively inside the CRM. And its entire model is built around structured product catalogs and SKU-based pricing rules that simply don't map onto how services businesses, agencies, and consultancies operate.

I work at Portant, so I'll be upfront about that. But I also spend a lot of time inside customer HubSpot portals, and I've seen exactly what drives teams to start shopping for alternatives. This article evaluates 10 options honestly — including where each one beats Portant and where it doesn't. I scored them on four criteria: HubSpot integration depth, template flexibility, pricing at a five-user team, and end-to-end document workflow.

Why HubSpot teams look for QuoteWerks alternatives

QuoteWerks has a large installed base in IT reseller and VAR channels — businesses where fixed product catalogs, structured pricing rules, and complex quote configurations are genuinely necessary. For those teams, the desktop application model made sense when it was built, and the feature depth for product-driven quoting is real.

The friction appears when teams try to reconcile a legacy Windows desktop tool with a cloud-first workflow. HubSpot is browser-based and expectation is that connected tools work the same way. Running QuoteWerks means keeping a desktop application installed on every sales rep's machine, syncing data through a separate connector rather than having the tool live inside HubSpot, and accepting that document status in QuoteWerks and deal status in HubSpot are two separate things that need to be kept in sync.

The second issue is scope. QuoteWerks is a quoting and CPQ tool. After a deal is quoted, the next documents — contracts, NDAs, statements of work, onboarding packs — are outside its design. Teams that need the full document lifecycle typically find themselves adding a separate tool for post-quote documents, which adds complexity and cost.

The third issue is the catalog model itself. Product-line businesses with fixed SKUs fit well. Services businesses that write custom proposals, consultancies that assemble bespoke scopes, and agencies that quote project-by-project find the catalog approach a poor fit — you end up fighting the tool instead of working with it.

1. Portant — best for HubSpot-native document automation

G2: 4.7/5  ·  From $42/mo workspace  ·  Free plan: Yes (30 credits/mo)

Portant is purpose-built for teams that use HubSpot as their primary system of record and want every document to live there too — not alongside it in a separate application. It's the #1 HubSpot-certified document automation app, used by over 920,000 people, and it's the natural replacement for QuoteWerks when teams move to a cloud-first HubSpot workflow.

The fundamental difference from QuoteWerks is the architecture. QuoteWerks is a Windows desktop application that syncs with HubSpot through a connector. Portant runs entirely inside HubSpot — you open it from the HubSpot sidebar, generate documents directly from deal records, and every document is saved back to HubSpot as its own record on the deal timeline. There is no desktop install, no separate platform to log into, no data sync to manage.

Templates stay in the formats your team already uses. Google Docs, Google Slides, Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, and existing PDFs all work as source files. You add merge tags that reference HubSpot field names — deal name, contact details, company properties, line items, custom fields — and Portant fills them in at generation time. If legal has already approved a Word document template, it goes straight to work. No rebuilding, no reformatting, no migration project.

This is where QuoteWerks and Portant diverge most sharply for services businesses. QuoteWerks is built around a product catalog model: you populate a catalog with SKUs, pricing rules, and product descriptions, then assemble quotes by picking items. That's powerful for IT resellers and hardware distributors with hundreds of fixed products. It's frustrating for agencies, consultancies, and professional services firms that write bespoke proposals and custom scopes where no two documents are identical. Portant's template model — any Google Doc, any layout, any content — handles custom documents naturally.

Beyond quoting, Portant handles the full document lifecycle that QuoteWerks doesn't cover. After a deal is quoted, the next documents are typically contracts, statements of work, NDAs, onboarding packs, and welcome letters. Portant generates all of these from the same interface, the same HubSpot sidebar, with the same merge tag system. No additional tool needed for post-quote documents.

Approval workflows, built-in eSignature, and automation triggers round out the picture. Approvals route to the right person inside HubSpot with one-click approve or reject, and the approval status is visible on the deal record. eSignature is included on all paid plans with multi-signatory support — no separate add-on required (QuoteWerks charges extra for eSign). Documents can be triggered automatically from deal stage changes or HubSpot workflow actions, so the entire flow from deal progression to document generation to signature collection can run without manual intervention.

Key features

• Generates documents from live HubSpot deal, contact, company, and line item data
• Templates in Google Docs, Slides, Word, PowerPoint, or PDF — no proprietary editor
• Every document saved back to HubSpot as its own record on the deal timeline
• Sequential approval workflows with one-click approve/reject from inside HubSpot
• Built-in eSignature on all paid plans — multi-signatory, status updates HubSpot at each step
• Automation triggers: generate documents from deal stage changes or HubSpot workflows
• Conditional content logic — show or hide sections based on HubSpot field values
• Dynamic line item tables pulled directly from HubSpot products
• Handles all document types: quotes, proposals, contracts, NDAs, SOWs, onboarding packs

Pros

• Runs entirely inside HubSpot — no desktop install, no separate platform to log into
• No template migration — your existing Google Docs and Word files work from day one
• Works for all document types, not just quotes — handles the full post-deal document lifecycle
• Documents as HubSpot records means reporting, list-building, and workflows work natively
• Flat workspace pricing — five users pays $125/month, not $150+ for quoting alone

Cons

• No visual drag-and-drop builder — teams that want to design rich layouts from scratch inside the tool will find the template-file approach less visual than PandaDoc or Proposify
• Not designed for complex product catalog rules — if you need tiered pricing logic and bundle rules across hundreds of SKUs, a dedicated CPQ tool is more appropriate

2. PandaDoc — best for editor-first proposals and contracts

G2: 4.7/5  ·  From $49/user/mo  ·  Free plan: No (14-day trial)

PandaDoc is the most feature-complete document creation and eSign platform in this category. It's built around a visual block editor where reps design proposals, add pricing tables, embed video, and collect signatures — all without leaving PandaDoc. For teams that want a polished, purpose-built document tool and are comfortable working in a separate platform from HubSpot, PandaDoc delivers a genuinely impressive feature set.

Compared to QuoteWerks, PandaDoc is a significant step up in modernity: it's a web application, works on any device, and covers the full document lifecycle including contracts, NDAs, and proposals — not just product-catalog-based quotes. The HubSpot integration syncs deal data into documents and logs activity back to HubSpot, though documents live in PandaDoc rather than as HubSpot records.

Key features

• Visual drag-and-drop block editor with reusable content library and brand templates
• Interactive pricing tables, e-signature, video embeds, and payment collection
• Approval workflows and real-time document activity notifications
• HubSpot integration: deal data in, activity and status back out
• AI-assisted document drafting and content suggestions on higher plans

Pros

• Rich, polished editor that produces visually impressive proposals and contracts
• Broad feature set covers the full document lifecycle, not just quoting
• Strong content library for teams that need consistent branded sections across many documents

Cons

• Per-seat pricing at $49/user/mo means a 5-person team pays $245/mo — more than QuoteWerks Professional
• HubSpot integration requires the Business plan ($49/user/mo) — the lower tier doesn't include full CRM field mapping
• Every template must be rebuilt inside PandaDoc's editor — existing Google Docs or Word files can't be used directly

Best for: teams switching from QuoteWerks that want a modern, web-based document platform with a built-in visual editor and are comfortable managing documents in a tool separate from HubSpot. If per-seat pricing at five-plus users is a concern, evaluate Portant's flat workspace pricing first.

3. Proposify — best for polished, editor-first proposals

G2: 4.6/5  ·  From $49/user/mo  ·  Free plan: No (14-day trial)

Proposify is a dedicated proposal platform built around a visual block editor, a reusable content library, and collaborative review workflows. It sits in the same category as PandaDoc — editor-first, proposal-focused — but with a particular emphasis on brand consistency and team content management. Teams that want sales reps to assemble on-brand proposals from pre-approved blocks without straying off-template often find Proposify's structure helpful.

The HubSpot integration syncs deal data into proposals and logs proposal activity back to HubSpot, but proposal status lives in Proposify — managers need to check there for the full picture, rather than running a HubSpot report.

Key features

• Visual block-based editor with drag-and-drop sections and a reusable content library
• Interactive pricing tables, e-signature, and video embedding built in
• Approval workflows and real-time viewer notifications with time-on-section analytics
• HubSpot integration: deal data in, proposal status and activity back out

Pros

• Polished editor that most reps find easier to use than raw document editors for layout-heavy proposals
• Strong content library for teams that need consistent branded sections across many proposals
• Detailed engagement analytics — time per section, scroll depth, viewer activity

Cons

• Per-seat pricing at $49/user/mo means a 5-person team pays $245/mo — similar to PandaDoc
• Proposals live in Proposify, not HubSpot — pipeline reporting requires checking a second dashboard
• No native HubSpot app — the integration syncs data but doesn't make Proposify part of the HubSpot workflow

Best for: teams that want a polished editor-first experience for proposals and have the admin time to maintain a content library. If you're leaving QuoteWerks because you need more document types beyond quotes, Proposify covers that — but at a higher per-seat cost.

4. Qwilr — best for interactive web-based proposals

G2: 4.5/5  ·  From $35/user/mo  ·  Free plan: No (14-day trial)

Qwilr takes a fundamentally different approach to the proposal format: instead of generating a PDF or Word file, buyers receive a responsive webpage. They navigate proposal sections in the browser, accept online, and sign — no downloading required. For sales teams where the proposal experience is part of the pitch, the web format can be a genuine differentiator against competitors still sending PDFs.

Coming from QuoteWerks, Qwilr represents a complete shift in philosophy — away from desktop and product catalogs, toward web-native, design-forward delivery. The HubSpot integration pulls deal data into templates and syncs view and acceptance events back to the CRM.

Key features

• Web-based proposal format — interactive, mobile-responsive, no PDF required
• Section-level engagement analytics: which parts buyers read, time spent, scroll depth
• Online acceptance and eSign without email attachments
• HubSpot integration: deal data in, engagement data and status back out

Pros

• Modern buyer experience that stands out against PDF-based and catalog-driven competitors
• Section analytics give reps visibility into what buyers actually read — PDFs can't do that
• Lower per-seat price than Proposify or PandaDoc at the same feature tier

Cons

• Not all buyers or procurement teams accept web proposals — some require PDF for internal approvals
• No offline access: if the buyer's internet connection drops, the proposal is unavailable
• Documents don't live in HubSpot — status reporting requires going into Qwilr

Best for: creative agencies, high-touch SaaS sales, and professional services teams where the proposal moment is a key part of the sale and a modern digital experience matters to buyers. Not a fit for teams that must deliver PDFs for compliance or procurement.

5. DocuSign — best for enterprise eSign compliance

G2: 4.5/5  ·  From $45/user/mo  ·  Free plan: No (30-day trial)

DocuSign is the category standard for electronic signatures. If your primary need is compliant, auditable signatures on documents that are already finalised elsewhere — and buyer or procurement recognition matters — DocuSign is the safest enterprise choice. Almost every enterprise procurement team and legal department recognises a DocuSign envelope without question.

It's worth being clear about scope: DocuSign does not generate documents from HubSpot data. You upload a finished PDF or Word document, add signature fields, and send. The HubSpot connector syncs envelope status back to deal or contact records — sent, viewed, completed, declined. That's the integration depth. It's an eSign layer, not a document automation platform, so it complements rather than replaces a tool like QuoteWerks or Portant for document generation.

Key features

• Industry-standard eSign with SOC 2, ISO 27001, eIDAS, and ESIGN Act compliance
• Granular audit trail — IP address, timestamp, and signer identity for every action
• HubSpot connector: envelope events sync back to deal or contact records
• In-person signing and SMS-based identity verification on higher plans
• Bulk send for high-volume agreement scenarios

Pros

• Widest enterprise recognition — buyers and procurement teams expect it
• Best-in-class compliance certifications across regulated industries
• Reliable, mature platform with a large integrations ecosystem

Cons

• Does not replace QuoteWerks or Portant as a document creation tool — eSign only
• HubSpot integration is connector-level: envelope status syncs, but documents don't live as HubSpot records
• Expensive relative to capabilities if you're mainly using it for straightforward sales signature workflows

Best for: enterprise teams in regulated industries where buyer recognition and compliance certification are requirements, and where documents are finalized in another tool before signature is needed. Pair with Portant for generation, use DocuSign for signing in regulated contexts.

6. GetAccept — best for sales engagement plus documents

G2: 4.6/5  ·  Custom pricing  ·  Free plan: No

GetAccept combines document automation with sales engagement features — video messaging, live chat embedded inside proposals, buyer-side engagement tracking, and detailed analytics on how prospects interact with documents. It's designed for teams where the document isn't just a closing formality but an active part of the sales engagement: you send a proposal and stay in contact with buyers as they review it.

Pricing is custom and requires a demo call rather than self-serve signup, which reflects the more mid-market and enterprise positioning. The HubSpot integration covers activity logging, deal updates, and document status sync, though document management lives in GetAccept rather than as native HubSpot records.

Key features

• Document editor with embedded video messaging, live chat, and engagement notifications
• Contract management with clause library and redlining capability
• Built-in eSign with detailed audit trail
• HubSpot integration: deal data in, activity and document status back out
• Buyer-side engagement tracking — when, how long, and which sections they reviewed

Pros

• Unique combination of engagement tools (video, chat) alongside document automation
• Strong for complex, multi-stakeholder deals where buyer engagement between touchpoints is uncertain
• Solid audit trails and contract management for teams with legal requirements

Cons

• Custom pricing means no self-serve — you need a sales conversation before you can even get a number
• The engagement feature set adds complexity that's overkill for teams sending straightforward contracts or quotes
• Less HubSpot-native than tools built specifically for the HubSpot ecosystem

Best for: mid-market sales teams with longer deal cycles, multiple stakeholders, and a specific need to track buyer engagement between sending a proposal and receiving a decision. Overkill for straightforward send-and-sign workflows.

7. HubSpot Quotes — best for free native quoting

G2: 4.4/5 (Sales Hub)  ·  $0 with Sales Hub  ·  Free plan: Yes

HubSpot Quotes is the built-in quoting feature inside HubSpot Sales Hub. It doesn't require any integration because it is HubSpot — quotes pull in deal and line item data, generate a shareable link or PDF, and record acceptance back to the deal record natively. For teams that need basic quoting and are already paying for Sales Hub, it costs nothing extra.

As a QuoteWerks replacement, HubSpot Quotes solves the most immediate problem: it's web-based, lives in the browser, and doesn't require a desktop application. The limitations are real, however: no complex custom templates, no approval workflows beyond basic HubSpot logic, no built-in eSign without a separate HubSpot add-on, and no support for non-quote document types like contracts, NDAs, or statements of work. It's quoting, not document automation.

Key features

• Pull deal, contact, and line item data directly — no mapping required
• Branded quote templates with your company logo and colours
• Quote acceptance recorded on the HubSpot deal record natively
• Payment collection via HubSpot Payments (US) or Stripe integration
• Included with HubSpot Sales Hub Starter, Professional, and Enterprise

Pros

• Zero additional cost if you're already on HubSpot Sales Hub
• Deepest HubSpot data connection of any tool on this list — it's native, not integrated
• No setup required — it's already in your HubSpot portal waiting to be used

Cons

• Templates are limited — no support for your own Google Docs or Word layouts
• Quotes only — not suitable for contracts, proposals, NDAs, or SOWs
• No built-in eSign without additional HubSpot add-on costs
• No multi-step approval routing beyond basic HubSpot workflow logic

Best for: HubSpot teams that need simple quotes only and want the free-forever option with zero extra setup. Use it to test your quoting workflow, then graduate to Portant when you need custom templates, approvals, contracts, or full eSign built in.

8. Juro — best for legal-led contract management

G2: 4.7/5  ·  Custom pricing  ·  Free plan: No

Juro is a contract lifecycle management platform built around a collaborative browser-based editor where sales, legal, and counterparties can negotiate in the same document in real time. It's designed for organisations where legal is a frequent and active participant in commercial deals — not just a sign-off step at the end, but a negotiating party throughout.

For teams leaving QuoteWerks because they need more than quotes — specifically, a system that manages contracts with version control, redlining, and renewal workflows — Juro is the most sophisticated option on this list. The HubSpot integration lets you generate contracts from deal data and sync signed contract status back. The trade-off is complexity and cost: Juro is built for legal-commercial teams, not straightforward sales-led send-and-sign workflows.

Key features

• Browser-based collaborative editor with real-time redlining and clause negotiation
• Pre-approved clause library for legal teams to standardise approved language
• Contract lifecycle tracking — drafts, in review, out for signature, signed, renewals
• eSign with full audit trail and signer verification
• HubSpot integration: generate from deals, sync contract status back

Pros

• Best-in-class collaborative redlining — counterparties can negotiate directly in the document
• Clause library gives legal real control over what language leaves the business
• Strong for teams managing large contract volumes with renewals, amendments, and version history

Cons

• Enterprise pricing and a sales-led process — not suitable for small teams or self-serve evaluation
• Significantly more complexity than most HubSpot sales teams need if contracts are standard and rarely negotiated
• Documents live in Juro, not HubSpot — pipeline reporting still requires switching tools

Best for: companies with active legal involvement in commercial deals and a genuine need for contract negotiation, version control, and renewal management — not teams that want a straightforward send-and-sign workflow for standard agreements.

9. Signaturely — best for simple, affordable eSign

G2: 4.8/5  ·  From $25/mo  ·  Free plan: No (3 free signing requests)

Signaturely is one of the highest-rated eSign tools on G2 — consistently praised for being genuinely simple, affordable, and focused. Where DocuSign can feel built for enterprise legal departments and PandaDoc wants to be your entire document platform, Signaturely was designed for small businesses and freelancers who need fast, reliable signing without a steep learning curve or enterprise overhead.

As a QuoteWerks replacement, Signaturely covers only the signature piece — it doesn't generate documents from HubSpot data. But if your documents are already created and you just need a modern, low-cost way to collect signatures without a desktop application or add-on fees, Signaturely does that job cleanly. HubSpot integration is via Zapier rather than a native connector, which adds some setup friction.

Key features

• Upload PDFs and Word files, add signing fields, send in minutes
• Document templates with reusable field placements for recurring document types
• Signing links for one-to-many signing scenarios
• Audit trail and tamper-evident certificates for every signed document
• HubSpot integration via Zapier

Pros

• Highest G2 rating on this list — consistently praised for simplicity and reliability
• Low price point — genuinely affordable for solo operators and small teams
• Fast to set up and learn — most users are collecting signatures the same day

Cons

• No native HubSpot integration — Zapier required, which adds cost and setup complexity
• No document generation from CRM data — eSign only, not a full document automation tool
• Limited for complex multi-step approval workflows or conditional document logic

Best for: small businesses, freelancers, and solo operators leaving QuoteWerks who need a reliable, affordable way to collect signatures on finished documents — without the overhead of a full document automation platform or the add-on cost of QuoteWerks eSign.

10. Conga — best for enterprise document automation

G2: 4.3/5  ·  Custom pricing  ·  Free plan: No

Conga is a major enterprise document automation and CPQ platform with deep roots in the Salesforce ecosystem. Its Conga Composer and Conga CPQ products are widely deployed at enterprise scale for complex document generation, contract management, and configure-price-quote workflows. If QuoteWerks is the legacy Windows desktop CPQ tool, Conga is the enterprise-grade cloud successor in the same broad category.

For HubSpot teams, Conga is a less natural fit. The platform is architected primarily around Salesforce, and HubSpot integration is available but not the primary design target. Implementation typically requires a professional services engagement and enterprise-level budget. Smaller or mid-market HubSpot teams will find the overhead out of proportion to their needs.

Key features

• Conga Composer: document generation from CRM data at enterprise scale
• Conga CPQ: configure-price-quote with complex pricing rules, bundles, and approvals
• Contract lifecycle management with redlining, clause libraries, and obligation tracking
• eSign included with audit trail and compliance certifications
• HubSpot connector available (Salesforce is the primary integration)

Pros

• Enterprise-grade feature depth for CPQ and document automation at scale
• Strong for organisations with complex pricing rules, product bundles, and multi-level approvals
• Contract lifecycle management built in — covers the full deal and post-signature lifecycle

Cons

• Designed primarily for Salesforce — HubSpot teams are a secondary use case
• Custom pricing requires a sales engagement — no self-serve or published rates
• Implementation is a project: professional services, configuration, and onboarding time add up
• Lower G2 rating than most alternatives on this list — users cite complexity and support issues

Best for: large enterprises with Salesforce as their primary CRM, complex CPQ requirements, and dedicated RevOps or IT resources to manage implementation and ongoing administration. Not a practical choice for mid-market or SMB HubSpot teams.

How to choose the right tool

The fastest way to narrow this list down to two or three real candidates is to answer three questions honestly:

Do you need a desktop application or a web app? If the main driver for leaving QuoteWerks is the Windows desktop requirement — you want something that runs in the browser on any device — every tool on this list is a step forward. That's the baseline. The question then becomes which web-native tool fits your workflow best.

What document types do you actually need? If you only need quotes and have a structured product catalog, HubSpot Quotes is free and already in your portal, and Proposify or Qwilr are strong paid options. If you need the full post-deal document lifecycle — contracts, NDAs, SOWs, onboarding packs — you need Portant, PandaDoc, Juro, or GetAccept. That narrows it quickly.

How does your team size affect pricing? Per-seat pricing compounds as you grow. At five users: PandaDoc or Proposify ($245/mo each), DocuSign Standard ($225/mo), Qwilr ($175/mo) vs Portant Team ($125/mo flat, all document types and eSign included). At ten users those gaps double. If the team is growing, flat-rate workspace pricing becomes significantly more cost-effective. QuoteWerks Professional at 5 users is $150/mo for quoting only — Portant Team at $125/mo covers everything.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best QuoteWerks alternative for HubSpot teams?

Portant is the strongest QuoteWerks alternative for HubSpot-first teams. Unlike QuoteWerks, which requires a Windows desktop application and a structured product catalog, Portant runs entirely inside HubSpot as a certified app. It uses your existing Google Docs or Word files as templates, merges live HubSpot deal data, and saves every document back to HubSpot as a record you can filter and report on. For teams that want a cloud-first workflow without switching CRMs or juggling a desktop application, Portant is purpose-built for that.

Why do teams switch from QuoteWerks?

The most common reasons are the Windows desktop requirement (QuoteWerks is a legacy desktop application, not a web app), the product catalog model that doesn't suit services businesses without fixed SKUs, and an integration with HubSpot that runs through a connector rather than natively inside the CRM. Teams moving to cloud-first stacks find that web-native tools generating documents directly from HubSpot deal data eliminate the friction of maintaining a desktop application alongside a modern browser-based workflow.

Is there a free QuoteWerks alternative?

Yes. Portant has a free plan (up to 30 credits per month) and HubSpot Quotes is free with any HubSpot Sales Hub plan. HubSpot Quotes is the simplest native option for basic quoting with zero additional setup — it's already in your portal. Portant's free plan is ideal for individuals testing document automation before committing to a paid workspace. QuoteWerks has no free tier on any plan.

What is the cheapest QuoteWerks alternative?

Portant is the most cost-effective full-featured alternative for HubSpot teams. QuoteWerks Professional is $30/user/month — a 5-person team pays $150/month for quoting only, with eSignatures as a separate add-on. Portant Team is $125/month flat for the whole team, covering all document types (not just quotes), built-in eSignatures, approval workflows, and full HubSpot sync. You get more for less, and you don't pay extra for eSign.

Is Portant better than QuoteWerks for HubSpot teams?

For HubSpot teams, yes — in almost every dimension relevant to a cloud-first workflow. Portant is a certified HubSpot app running inside the CRM; QuoteWerks is a Windows desktop application connecting via a separate integration. Portant handles any document type from Google Docs templates, includes built-in eSignatures on all paid plans, and saves every document back to HubSpot as a native record. QuoteWerks is excellent at product catalog-driven quoting — that's its genuine strength — but it's not designed for teams that need more than quotes or want a browser-based workflow.

Does QuoteWerks work without a product catalog?

QuoteWerks is fundamentally designed around a structured product catalog with SKUs and pricing rules. Services businesses, agencies, and consultancies that create custom proposals without fixed product lines typically find the catalog requirement awkward — you end up fighting the system rather than working with it. Portant's Google Docs template approach, where you write the document exactly as you want it and merge HubSpot field data into it, is a much better fit for teams without a formal product catalog.

What is the best QuoteWerks alternative for small businesses?

Portant is the best QuoteWerks alternative for small businesses on HubSpot. Its free plan lets teams get started without any upfront cost, and flat workspace pricing on paid plans means you don't pay more as your team grows. For small businesses that only need basic quotes and are already on HubSpot Sales Hub, HubSpot Quotes is a free native option that requires no extra setup. For simple eSignatures on finished documents without a full document platform, Signaturely is a low-cost, highly-rated alternative.
