Workflow coverage and comparison notes

Prepare existing PDFs, place fields, collect multiple signatures and retain completed documents. Cloud Basic is free with 10 signature-request emails/month. The AGPL-3.0 self-hosted manual-signing core is free; server, storage, backups and SMTP delivery can cost extra. No model API is required. Production API/embedding requires paid Pro plus usage fees; branding, automatic reminders and advanced integrations are paid. Not full enterprise automation or every signature/identity requirement.
