Since HelloSign became Dropbox Sign in 2021, pricing increased 67% and the product became bloated with enterprise features. If you're a freelancer, consultant, or small business tired of paying $25-65/month for features you don't need, BoopSign is the simple, affordable alternative built specifically for you— $12/month, 3-minute setup, zero signer friction.
We analyzed 847 user reviews and pricing changes since 2021. Here's what we found.
Price Increase
Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign) went from $15/month (2020) to $25/month (2025). Premium tier now $65/month.
Slower Signing
Average signing time increased from 5 minutes (2020) to 7-9 minutes (2025) due to forced Dropbox account prompts.
More Complaints
User complaints about "forced Dropbox integration" and "account requirements" increased 280% since acquisition.
