Clients say yes on their phone without installing an app.

Every quote you email has the client's own link. They read each line and the total, type their name, sign with a finger or mouse and click Accept and sign.

The quote turns Accepted with who signed, when and the signature.
Change the quote and the old link can't accept it: send it again.
A link works for 60 days after you last sent it.

New hires sign in the app.

Upload a contract or a policy on someone's employee file and click Ask to sign. They get a notification, sign with their finger, and the file shows who signed and when.

They need a login to the app, which every plan includes for the whole team.
Waiting documents show as Waiting for signature.

The full guide

Everything above, in detail: how it works, what it replaces and what it does not.

Short answer: Alori is an Adobe Acrobat Sign alternative for small software companies and agencies whose signatures are mostly a client saying yes to a quote, and a new hire signing a contract. Clients sign quotes online from the email, employees sign their documents in the app, and both sit in the same app as your CRM, deals and invoices, with unlimited users on every plan. If you sign many kinds of documents with several outside signers, keep Acrobat Sign.

Why teams leave Adobe Acrobat Sign

Adobe Acrobat Sign is a serious e-signature product, sold inside Acrobat. Small teams leave it for reasons that have little to do with signing:

Every person who sends for signature needs an Acrobat license, so sales, account managers and the founder each add to the bill.
To get a quote signed, someone exports a PDF from the CRM, uploads it, places the fields and sends it again, then copies the result back to the deal.
After the yes, the deal, the project and the invoice are still updated by hand in other tools.

What you pay

See Alori's pricing.

What Alori replaces

Quotes signed online: every quote you email has the client's own link. They read each line and the total, type their name, sign with a finger or mouse and click Accept and sign, on a phone or a computer, with nothing to install.
You know right away: the quote turns Accepted and shows who signed, when and the signature. A note lands on the client's record, and you get an email.
A signed quote stays signed: change the quote and the old link can't accept the new version, so send it again. A link works for 60 days after you last sent it.
Quiet quotes get a nudge: quote follow-up sends one reminder by email, text or both when a sent quote has no answer after the days you pick.
Retainers and plans on the quote: bill a line once, monthly, quarterly or yearly, so a retainer or a software plan reads right on what the client signs.
Employee documents: upload a contract or a policy on someone's file and click Ask to sign. They get a notification, sign in the app, and their file shows Signed by with the date.
What happens after the yes: the client, the deal, the quote and the invoice live in one app, and the invoice has a Pay by card link.

What Alori doesn't do yet

Alori is not a general e-signature tool. It has no signing of any document you upload with outside parties, no several signers or signing order, no fields placed on a PDF, no reusable signing templates or bulk send, no certificate of completion and no PDF editing. Long proposals and client contracts are planned in Proposals, not live yet. If you sign NDAs, leases, partner agreements or regulated documents, keep Acrobat Sign for those.

Questions

Another question? Ask it when you start.

Yes, when what you send to sign is mostly quotes to clients and contracts to your own team. For any document with outside signers, signing order or an audit certificate, Acrobat Sign fits better.

For quote signatures, yes: Alori has a free plan with no card needed, and paid plans include unlimited users, so nobody needs a sender license. A team of 5 on Acrobat Pro for teams pays $119.95 a month for signing and PDF tools alone.

Nothing is imported from Acrobat Sign. Download the signed PDFs you want to keep, paste your client list into Ask Sam, and send new quotes from Alori.

They open the link in the quote email, type their full name, sign in the box and click Accept and sign. If they say yes by phone, click Mark accepted on the sent quote.

Small software companies and agencies, usually under 50 people.
