Which one should you pick?
Pick Dropbox Sign if
You’re building around simple guest releases. Formerly HelloSign, now bolted into the Dropbox stack. Free tier caps at 3 signature requests a month — enough for solo podcasters with light contract needs, painful for shows recording weekly.
Pick Typeform if
You’re building around premium-feel guest intakes. Typeform invented the conversational form aesthetic and still owns it, which is why it feels nice for guest intakes. The pricing is hard to justify against Tally though — a 10-response free cap and paid plans starting at $28/mo for what most podcasters get free elsewhere.
