Xodo Sign, formerly eversign, is a low-cost e-signature tool from Apryse with a PDF editor built in. fynk is a contract platform with e-signature built in. They differ on signature levels, where the data lives, what happens after signing and the price per seat. Compared across all four.
Contract management with e-signature and an AI assistant built in.
Low-cost, per-user e-signature tool with a built-in PDF editor, from the document technology company Apryse.

Xodo Sign states that it supports the first eIDAS level, the simple electronic signature (SES), with optional SMS or PIN authentication for signers. It does not offer AES or QES. fynk offers SES, AES and QES. For a large share of commercial contracts SES is enough, and then the two are level. Where a document or a counterparty needs an advanced or qualified signature, fynk wins this one, because Xodo Sign has no path to it.
List the documents you sign that need a verified identity behind the signature. If that list is empty, this dimension does not decide anything.
Xodo Sign is an e-signature product and does not sell contract management. It sends reminders and expiry dates for pending signature requests, but does not track renewal or notice dates, extract metadata or run a dedicated approval step: its help centre suggests signing order plus reassignment as a workaround. Its AI Summarizer, on Professional, summarises one document at a time. In fynk every document is read on arrival, dates, values and notice periods come back as structured data, and the AI assistant answers questions across the whole repository. If the signed contract has to keep working after signing, fynk wins.
Xodo Sign’s sub-processor list names Amazon Web Services with the United States as the data location, and no EU region is published. fynk hosts in the European Economic Area on AWS and is ISO 27001 certified. The trade-off runs the other way on attestation: Xodo Sign is SOC 2 Type II compliant, and fynk has no SOC 2 report. For DACH buyers with data residency requirements fynk wins; for buyers whose security review asks for SOC 2, Xodo Sign does.
Ask procurement which one they need: EU hosting with ISO 27001, or a SOC 2 Type II report.
Xodo Sign Professional costs $16 per user per month billed annually, or $32 monthly, with unlimited documents and templates. SMS authentication, bulk sending and API documents come as capped credits per user, and more API volume needs a separate API plan. fynk Essential costs €19 per user per month billed annually, or €29 monthly, with unlimited documents under a fair use policy and a monthly AI credit allowance per user. On the seat price alone Xodo Sign wins. The comparison changes once you count what fynk’s seat includes on top: contract management, AES and QES, and EU hosting.
Price the plan you would really use: Xodo Sign Professional, since Basic caps templates at three per user.
Entry prices as checked, and the mechanics underneath them, which matter more than the headline number.

Entry prices are per user per month, billed annually: fynk Essential, its lowest paid plan, and Xodo Sign Professional, the plan with unlimited templates. Xodo Sign publishes prices in USD only. Ask both vendors to quote your real annual volume.
Xodo Sign holds signed files and templates, not contract data, so leaving it is a contained project. The work sits in four places: getting the files out in time, turning them into contract records, rewiring what runs through Zapier or the API, and deciding where document preparation happens afterwards.
Xodo Sign lets you download signed documents one at a time as a PDF with their Certificate of Completion, and a full account export is requested from support. After termination, files stay available on request for 30 days, which is a short window if the request only goes in on the last day. Ask for the full export a few weeks before the Professional renewal, keep each certificate with its PDF, and check the count against the account before anyone cancels.
What comes out of Xodo Sign is PDFs and certificates with no renewal or notice dates attached, because Xodo Sign tracks deadlines only for pending signature requests. fynk reads every imported document, returns parties, dates, values and clauses as fields, and reminds you before a renewal. Link each Certificate of Completion to its contract as a related document. Check the extracted notice periods on a handful of contracts before importing the rest, because a date read wrongly is worse than one not read at all.
Xodo Sign’s help centre says its Salesforce integration is still under development and points to Zapier in the meantime. Anything built on webhooks, embedded signing or the 10 API documents per user included in Professional needs a list of its own. In fynk, the Salesforce and Pipedrive connectors come with Essential, but Zapier, webhooks and the REST API need Business at €39 per user per month billed annually. A team whose Xodo Sign setup lives in Zapier should therefore price Business, not Essential.
On Professional, Xodo Sign senders can edit PDF text, redact, annotate and reorder pages before a document goes out, and its templates are uploaded files with fields and signer roles. In fynk the template holds the contract text itself, with dynamic fields that legal controls, so rebuilding templates is a chance to move recurring contracts off PDFs. Whoever prepares documents today feels this most. If their routine depends on redacting or editing finished PDFs, test exactly that step in the fynk trial before you commit.
If every document you send is fine with a simple signature, US hosting passes your legal review and your security questionnaire asks for SOC 2, Xodo Sign does the job at a lower seat price than fynk, and moving buys you little. The same goes for teams whose sending routine starts in its PDF editor. Staying is the sensible choice there, and you should hear that before a trial rather than after a migration.
"fynk provides a single source of truth for signed contracts, ensuring that no contracts get lost in folder structures. It reliably reminds us of upcoming contract deadlines. And the signing process is much faster and more efficient."
For signing plus contract management, yes, and it adds AES and QES. Xodo Sign is the renamed eversign, now part of Apryse. If your team relies on its PDF editor to edit text or redact before sending, test that part of your workflow in a trial first.
Per seat, Xodo Sign: Professional costs $16 per user per month billed annually, against €19 for fynk Essential. Xodo Sign caps SMS, bulk-send and API credits per user and does not include contract management, so compare what each seat covers, not only the price.
Xodo Sign, formerly eversign, prices per user in US dollars, and recipients sign free. Basic costs $10 and Professional $16 per user a month billed annually, or $20 and $32 billed monthly, and since Basic allows three templates per user, Professional is the realistic plan for a team. SMS authentication, bulk sending and API documents come as capped credits per user; more API volume is sold as separate plans from $50 a month billed annually (API Light), and Enterprise is quoted on request.
For many commercial contracts, yes: Xodo Sign supports the simple electronic signature (SES) under eIDAS. It does not offer AES or QES, so documents that need a verified identity behind the signature need another provider. fynk offers all three levels.
Yes. Signed documents download from Xodo Sign as PDF with a Certificate of Completion, and a full account export can be requested from support. After termination files are available on request for 30 days, so export before you cancel.
Yes, for 5 documents per month, one every seven days, with up to 5 signers per document, plus a 7-day trial of Professional without a credit card. fynk has a free plan for one user and a 14-day trial.
