What's included in the annual subscription?
Think of it like unlimited minutes and data on a mobile contract. It includes integration support, evergreen pages, unlimited page requests from signers and unlimited content changes from you.
• An annual subscription for Deaf users to request any content seamlessly
• Evergreen pages selected by client
• Unlimited content updates on your pages, without charge
• We value relevance, so Signly retires pages that aren't engaged with in six months
• It doesn’t matter how many pages signers request – it’s all included
Year 2 subscription costs are determined by demand in year 1.
