The Adobe Sign alternative built for Salesforce teams
Adobe Acrobat Sign is a strong signing product. But Adobe’s teams plans do not include the Salesforce integration: that needs Acrobat Sign Solutions for enterprise, which is priced by Adobe’s sales team, and each licence comes with a yearly transaction allowance. SalesSign puts the proposal builder, eSignatures, engagement analytics and a native Salesforce integration in every plan, from £19 per user per month.
Enterprise-grade signing. The Salesforce integration sits in Adobe’s quoted enterprise tier, and documents are built from templates rather than in a sales builder.
Which one should a Salesforce team choose?
Choose SalesSign if Salesforce is where your team sells and you want proposals, quotes, contracts, signatures and engagement data on the Opportunity, with published per-user prices and no enterprise quote to unlock the CRM. Every plan includes the Salesforce integration, analytics and eSignatures.
Stay with Adobe Sign if your organisation is standardised on Adobe Acrobat and Document Cloud, needs Acrobat’s PDF editing alongside signing, or relies on Adobe’s prebuilt integrations with systems such as Microsoft Dynamics and Workday. Those are real strengths, and SalesSign is not trying to replace Acrobat.
Why Salesforce teams choose SalesSign over Adobe Sign.
Salesforce without an enterprise quote
Adobe lists Salesforce among its prebuilt integrations that require Acrobat Sign Solutions for enterprise, and the Sign account must be provisioned for the Salesforce channel by Adobe support before the package is installed. SalesSign’s integration is included on every plan and installs from the AppExchange in minutes.
A sales document builder, with analytics
Adobe generates agreements from templates with Document Builder and edits PDFs in Acrobat. SalesSign gives reps a drag-and-drop builder with pricing tables and Salesforce merge fields, then shows page-level time and per-recipient engagement on the record, on every plan.
Envelopes you can plan around
Adobe states that Acrobat Sign plans sold as user licences include 150 transactions per user per year unless your contract says otherwise. SalesSign Pro includes 20 signing envelopes per user every month and Max includes 50, with top-ups when you need them.

Adobe Sign pricing, and what a Salesforce team pays.
Adobe publishes prices for its teams plans, all on annual commitments, with e-signature included from Acrobat Standard up. The Salesforce integration is not part of any of them.

|---|---|---|---|
| Acrobat Standard for teams | US$16.99 per licence per month | US$203.88 per licence per year | Not included |
| Acrobat Pro for teams | US$23.99 per licence per month | US$287.88 per licence per year | Not included |
| Acrobat Studio for teams | US$29.99 per licence per month | US$359.88 per licence per year | Not included |
| Acrobat Sign Solutions for enterprise | Contact Adobe sales | Yes | |

A closer look at the Adobe Sign alternative for Salesforce.
Build and send without leaving the Opportunity
SalesSign’s builder runs inside Salesforce. Reps pick a template, merge fields fill from the Opportunity, Account, Contacts, Quotes and custom objects, and the proposal goes out from the same screen. Signed PDFs land on the record automatically, with the audit trail beside them.
Know which deals are actually engaged
Every viewer, every page, every minute. SalesSign records who opened the proposal, how long they spent on each page and where they stalled, then surfaces it on the Salesforce record and in reports. It is included on every plan.
A signing flow built for buyers, with a full audit trail
Sequential or parallel routing, automatic reminders, inline validation and a mobile-first signing page carrying your brand. Each signature is timestamped with IP and recipient detail, and the completed audit trail is stored against the Salesforce record alongside the signed PDF.
How to move from Adobe Sign to SalesSign in six steps.
Most teams run the two side by side for one sales cycle, then move sales documents across before the Adobe agreement renews.
Check your Adobe agreement
Note the renewal date, any notice period and how many licences cover sales. If Acrobat is also used outside sales for PDF editing, keep those licences and move only the sales signing.
Audit the templates you actually use
List the agreements sent from Salesforce in the last 90 days and the fields they merge. Most teams find five to ten templates do nearly all the work.
Rebuild those templates in SalesSign
Proposals and quotes rebuild natively in the drag-and-drop builder with pricing tables and merge fields. For contracts you cannot change, upload the existing PDF and overlay the signature fields.
Connect Salesforce
Install the SalesSign package, authorise the connection and map merge fields to the Opportunity, Account, Contact and custom objects. There is no channel provisioning to request.
Run a pilot for one sales cycle
Start with the 14-day free trial and its five envelopes, then move a pilot team onto a plan. Keep Adobe Sign for agreements already out for signature and send everything new from SalesSign.
Archive and switch off
Download completed agreements and their audit reports from Adobe Sign and keep them on the relevant Salesforce records, so history stays in the CRM. Then reduce or cancel the sales licences at renewal.
Comparing Adobe Sign with DocuSign, PandaDoc or Dropbox Sign?
If the shortlist is really about signatures and documents inside Salesforce, the same questions apply to each of them. Our guide to e-signature in Salesforce compares the costs side by side.
Adobe Sign vs DocuSign
Both are enterprise signing standards with mature Salesforce apps, and both license Salesforce on top of the base plan. DocuSign’s Salesforce route is Business Pro plus its AppExchange app. See how SalesSign compares with DocuSign.
Adobe Sign vs PandaDoc
PandaDoc builds proposals in its own editor and sells Salesforce as a paid add-on on annual Business and Enterprise plans. See how SalesSign compares with PandaDoc.
Adobe Sign vs Dropbox Sign
Dropbox Sign includes its Salesforce integration without an add-on and signs fixed documents well, but templates must be built for Salesforce inside its app and there is no builder. See how SalesSign compares with Dropbox Sign.
Adobe Sign alternative questions, answered.
How much does Adobe Sign cost?
Adobe’s teams plans with e-signature are Acrobat Standard at US$16.99, Acrobat Pro at US$23.99 and Acrobat Studio at US$29.99 per licence per month, on annual plans billed monthly, as listed on adobe.com in September 2026. Acrobat Sign Solutions for enterprise, which includes the Salesforce integration, is priced by Adobe’s sales team.
Does Adobe Sign work with Salesforce on the teams plans?
Adobe’s own comparison lists the Salesforce integration as requiring Acrobat Sign Solutions for enterprise, not the Acrobat teams plans, and Adobe support must provision the Sign account for the Salesforce channel before the package is installed. SalesSign includes its Salesforce integration on every plan.
How many transactions does Adobe Sign include?
Adobe states that Acrobat Sign plans sold as user licences include 150 transactions per user per year unless the contract says otherwise. SalesSign Pro includes 20 signing envelopes per user per month and Max includes 50, with top-ups available.
Is SalesSign a good Adobe Sign alternative for Salesforce teams?
Yes, for sales documents. SalesSign builds proposals, quotes and contracts from the Salesforce record, tracks engagement and collects e-signatures, with the integration included on every plan. Teams that also need Acrobat’s PDF editing for other departments can keep those licences and move sales signing across.
Is a SalesSign signature legally equivalent to Adobe Sign?
For standard commercial agreements, yes. SalesSign produces a tamper-evident audit trail and signed PDF that meet ESIGN and UETA in the United States and eIDAS in the UK and EU. Read our guide to whether e-signatures are legally binding for the exceptions.
Can we keep our existing Adobe Sign templates?
There is no one-click import. Proposals and quotes are rebuilt in SalesSign’s builder, which most teams do for their top five to ten templates in a few hours, and fixed-format contracts can be uploaded as PDFs with signature fields overlaid.
Can I collect payment when the customer signs?
Yes, on the SalesSign Max plan. Sign & Pay connects your own Stripe account so a customer can pay a deposit or the full amount at signature, and the payment is written to a Transaction record in Salesforce.
