The short version

  • Only HelloSign has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: HelloSign free plan limited to only 3 documents per month, insufficient for most business use cases; Moxie each module is weaker than the specialist product it replaces, so a freelancer with a demanding requirement in any one area will find the bundled version limiting.
  • They diverge on capability: HelloSign covers Electronic signatures, Moxie covers Proposals with e signature.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

HelloSign

  • Free plan limited to only 3 documents per month, insufficient for most business use cases
  • Lacks advanced features like conditional logic and bulk send that enterprise competitors offer
  • Limited customization options for white-labeling compared to DocuSign

Moxie

  • Each module is weaker than the specialist product it replaces, so a freelancer with a demanding requirement in any one area will find the bundled version limiting.
  • The shared data model that makes the bundle convenient also makes leaving expensive, because proposals, time entries and invoices come out as one tangled export rather than as separable tools.
  • It is designed around a solo operator, so adding subcontractors, splitting revenue or managing a small team runs into limits quickly.
  • Client payments are processed through a third party gateway, so the card processing fee applies on top of the subscription and should be modelled into the true cost per invoice.
  • A large amount of published review material still refers to the product as Hectic, which makes independent research harder and dates much of what is written about it.

The payment processor takes its standard card fee. Model that separately from the subscription when comparing total cost.

It is built for a solo operator. Subcontractors and multi person billing are handled awkwardly.

Moxie: Can I keep my accountant in the loop?

Yes, through the accounting integration, though most freelancers still reconcile manually at year end.

Moxie: What is the exit path?

Exports exist, but the linked proposal, time and invoice data does not map cleanly onto separate replacement tools.
