Common Questions

Can I use Zignature alongside Spellbook?
Yes. Some legal teams draft in Word with Spellbook assistance, then upload the finished Word document to Zignature for field placement, signing, and lifecycle management. The tools are complementary — Spellbook for complex legal drafting, Zignature for the entire post-draft workflow.
Does Zignature have AI drafting like Spellbook?
Yes. Zignature's AI Template Builder generates complete contracts from a plain-English description — faster than using Spellbook for standard commercial agreements. The main difference is that Spellbook provides clause-level suggestions inside an existing Word document, while Zignature generates the complete document from scratch in its own editor.
How does Zignature's pricing compare to Spellbook?
Zignature has a free plan and paid plans starting at a fraction of Spellbook's per-seat cost. Spellbook pricing is not publicly listed and typically requires enterprise contract negotiation. Zignature's transparent self-serve pricing starts at a level accessible for small businesses.
