What SignWell prices separately, beside what a Calisto envelope already carries.
Senders, not signatures
SignWell prices by the number of senders, paid monthly or for the year. A Calisto envelope is priced when it is sent, whoever sent it.
The fourth sender
Business includes three senders, and each additional sender is charged every month. Anyone in a Calisto account can send.
Passcodes, not identity
SignWell protects documents with static and one-time passcodes. Calisto adds a government ID and liveness check as its own per-check product, switched on per document.
Calisto Sign is priced per envelope. Never per seat.

Leaving SignWell
Completed documents generally stay with SignWell, because their certificates are theirs. Download them before you close the account; anything you send from Calisto Sign carries its own certificate and audit trail.
Templates rebuild with drag-and-drop field placement on the PDF you already have. Field positions are in PDF points, so a template you place once is exact on every send.
Upload the contract from the offer above. We read the term, the fees and the notice period, and hold what leaving costs you as credit in your Calisto wallet. Cancel, show us the proof, and it is released. A person reviews some claims, such as a contract in another currency.
The pricing section on this page reads the live catalogue and is the authority on the figure. One envelope holds every document and every signer the agreement needs, and is charged once, when it is sent; drafting and placing fields cost nothing.
The table above says so plainly. A developer API with embedded signing is theirs; the record the signature belongs to is ours.
