# GMO Sign: pricing and assessment

> GMO Sign is the main domestic challenger to CloudSign, and has the most generous free tier here (5 sends per month, one user — against CloudSign's 2). It is unusually explicit about signature types: witness-type (contract-seal equivalent) at ¥100 per send, and party-type (registered-seal equivalent, using the signer's own certificate) at ¥300 per send.

Best for: Japanese companies that want to start free, or that specifically need party-type (registered-seal) signatures for higher-stakes contracts.

## Strengths and trade-offs

### Strengths

- A real free tier (5 sends/month) lets you validate the workflow with actual counterparties before committing budget
- Explicitly supports both witness-type and party-type signatures, so higher-stakes contracts needing a registered-seal equivalent are covered
- Lowest per-send cost of the domestic options at ¥100 for witness-type, and unlimited users on paid plans

### Trade-offs

- Party-type signatures cost ¥300 per send — triple the witness-type rate — so a registered-seal-heavy workflow gets expensive quickly
- The free tier is capped at one user and witness-type signatures only, so it is a trial rather than a workable small-team plan
- Governance and operation-log features require the Standard tier (¥24,000/mo), a large step up from Light
