The short version

  • Only Tana has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Tana the free plan hosts only 5 meetings a month with AI transcripts and summaries; SignWell additional sender seats beyond the base plan cost $10 to $15 per month each, so team pricing scales per person rather than being flat
