What PearSign is
PearSign is a platform for drafting, sending, signing and managing contracts electronically. Users can upload PDF or Word documents, add signature and other fields, send them to signers, track signing status and receive a sealed PDF. For a new agreement, users can describe its terms in plain language and get an editable draft with clauses to review and change; PearSign says this is not legal advice. Guided mobile-first forms support validated answers, file uploads and signing from a link without requiring a signer account. Completed documents receive a digital seal and certificate of completion. Completion records include timestamps, signer details, IP address, device and authentication information, and a document hash. The service lists integrations with Google Drive, Dropbox, Salesforce, Twilio and Postmark, along with REST API and webhook connections. Its documentation says test keys are disabled while an isolated sandbox is being built. The free plan includes three envelopes per month; paid plans start at $15 per month. Once a plan's monthly envelope allowance is used, new envelopes must wait for the reset or an upgrade.
