Choose Before Sunset: Foxit vs HelloSign in Q3 2026

Where Buyers Get Stuck

Here’s the awkward truth no software brochure will tell you: by Q3 2026, HelloSign — the name you’ve known for years — has basically been sunset. Dropbox wound down the standalone HelloSign app, stopped selling it to new customers, and pushed what’s left of it into a corner of Dropbox’s own product. You may still generate an old HelloSign link in a project folder, but you can’t make a fresh purchase decision around it the way you could in 2023.

That doesn’t mean the debate is useless. Sales reps, procurement teams, and IT leaders are still opening the email comparison tool Hellosign vs Foxit eSign every single week. The real tension isn’t “which one has more buttons.” It’s: how do you modernize a signing process when one candidate is on life support and the other is a PDF veteran hiding inside a signing suite?

The quick answer: If you’re a new buyer, go with Foxit eSign — it’s actively sold, deeply tied to Foxit’s PDF editing workhorse, and built for real document-heavy workflows. If you’re an existing Dropbox Sign customer with legacy documents, your move is to understand what you’re holding, but plan a migration. Hellosign’s time as a standalone pick is over.

That blank row for HelloSign’s free plan isn’t me being sloppy. It’s the answer: the plan is not available for new customers, and most vendors have stopped listing it. Facts matter more than nostalgia.

Feature-by-Feature Deep Dive

1. Signing Experience: Speed and Flow

Everyone says eSignature is easy. But “easy” hails two different things: getting a drafted page to the signer and getting the contract back without confusion.

Foxit eSign treats the signing step like a proper PDF. You load a document, configure fields, and send signing orders: “Person A signs first, then legal reviews, then Customer signs.” The signer sees a clean, branded screen with required to-complete zones, initials, date fields, and signing — whatever you tell them. The tool loads fast because — unlike the standalone sign-service firms — Foxit already has your PDF pipeline.

On 2026, Foxit has improved its sign-by-email tabs even more, with an option to auto-place initials after the last signature. It’s a level of control that matters when your sales team sends dozens of proposals a week.

HelloSign historically did one thing exceptionally well: the signer asked for a landing page, no wizard, no editor, no downloaded software. It was beloved by startups onboarding small teams. But almost all of that value was embedded in the standalone tool that has now been dispatched. Trying to use “Hello form” inside Dropbox in 2026 is not the clean experience you get into the old product.

Winner: Foxit eSign. Your signing format still works, but Fox’s sending and recipient management is broader and actively maintained.

2. PDF Editing vs Sign-Only Cutoff

Here’s where Foxit separates from 90% of its e-sign rivals.

For most organizations, the problem is not “get a signature.” The real bottleneck appears earlier: edits to T’s have to be made, degrade the address, toggle “October” to “November” in page 7, bring the signature block on the right page, or adjust the client’s logo.

Foxit eSign has a sibling native PDF editor. With the “PDF Editor + eSign” tier you can open a high-resolution contract, change a phrase, flatten the PDF, and send it to the same signing system. No third-party upload. No exporting and losing metadata. And that entire workflow stays with store per-context audit logs.

HelloSign was a signing service, pure and simple. It was never a PDF tool. Buyers would create or edit in Word or Adobe, upload to HelloSign, and throw the signing. In its absence, that limitation doesn’t magically fix.

Verdict: Foxit wins with a runnaway. If you just lead signing, either works, but Foxit eliminates a tedious export/broadcast path that silently burns hours every month.

3. Templates and Reusable Workflows

Morning teams run with templates. A sales team may need three versions of a land contract; vendor contracting has a “vendor-Nondisclosure-v2” that happens every week.

FoxeSign template system ties to the PDF editor. You can create a template with a set of recipient roles, fields, and routing steps once. Then each send is a new instance of the same basic contract with name and date fills filled in. There is granular control: Same signer role labels, optionally send by yourself as a practice module, and “lock” some fields so recipients can’t change the legal margins.

Tech depth is in 2026’s UI: you can conditionally show a "signer add additional approver" if they check "require legal review." Not every product at this price includes that; Foxit does.

HelloSign, historically, had nice templates. But their template editor was linear and lacked conditional logic (until the very end, which arrived field-level in a few spots). For newbies that worked; for configable, deeper you got, the red was evident.

Verdict: Foxit eSign; gives you better control for commercial templates and long-running processes, not just "fill name and email."

4. Identity Verification, Security, and Compliance

When a signature is legally meaningful is more than an option on a screen; you’ll have to answer for it in court or to a compliance officer.

FoxIt eSign supports mobile number verification, email verification, and uses a hidden —— modern signing audit trail that records IP address, timestamp, and each page’s signing event. The company backgrounds with 20 years of PDF security beyond the signing world — anti-dowel, password protection, redaction, DRM optional controls. In theory, if a star partner asks for Sase, Fox It also publishes SOC 2 Type II and conforms ITAR-like output — supported by the federal market because they’re not new to digital rights.

HelloSign had SMS verification, authentication codes, and a pretty solid audit log. Was it a risky boxed? Not at all. But because new users can’t buy it, you’re also historically trusted authentication and will have no compliance support in your residency effort. For HIPAA/B2B teams that is dead on arrival in 2026.

Winner: Foxit eSign. The security is not peripheral; it’s anchors in herd document model and controller methods.

5. Team Administration and Oversight

At 5–15 signers, you can tolerate bare-bones admin. At 50 signers or 3 departments, admin allowed.

In FoxiteSign, you can enforce document-ownership rules, review audit chains within a dashboard, define signing roles (e.g., in Common), and set required fields for signers. On ithain PDF settings you can create role-based permissions: who can export, who needs approval to send, when records must be archived. It’s fairly easy to keep control while not making admin want to cry.

HelloSign had better visual dashboards than most, but its admin backend was hollow for enterprise-grade policies. Once you start working with Out of Business using Access, it becomes tired easier. With its shutdown, further development is nil.

Verdict: Foxit. Not because Fox’s cloud is perfect, but because it’s alive, updateable, and contains comisión scanning features that can (“delete history,” of course), not just low-level reception logs.

6. Mobile Apps and Cross-Platform

Both signers can signet from a smartphone. No debate there.

But there’s a second issue: the operations user wants to open the contract, sign, then record a PDF and comment out. Foxit’s mobile PDF suite (specially de mobile editor) still works when you are in Apple’s Files or in app, so you’re kids have an no edge in place.

HelloSign’s mobile app designed only for signature tasks — it was fast, but what happened when you needed to browse the whole contract? It lacked editing, and effectively, disappeared with the product. Helping irrelevant for new teams.

Verdict: Foxit weighs he explains via PDF street walk-through for anyone who critiques portoise.

7. Staying Alive (Vendor Continuity)

Too many “reviews” miss this. In 2023, you’d listen to a stripped-down comparison tool, not realizing the vendor had no future planned. That’s relevant here.

HelolSign was a growth story until Dropbox reorganized the lines of business. In 2024–2025, Dropbox began — behind and behind it one by one; — retiring the standalone HelloSign product and encouraging existing customers to move. The product’s roadmap become a "one-way street to migration," not innovation. It’s not an opinion; it's the interim decision.

Foxit is, by illustration, a document company: PDF classic, editors, eSign, and preferal looks. Even if the eSign product mutates during your renewal cycle, you are not just hostilely choosing a discontinued service.

Verdict: Fox.

Pricing Face-Off

Foxit eSign

• Free: Free eSign plan (with limited monthly usage requires, and provided) for non-commercial “sign-a-few” check tasks.
• Pro: $10.49/user/month (annual billing). Mostly this: unlimited signatures, email templates, team roles, branding, audit trails, 24/7 support; plus the full PDF Editor when you buy the “with editor” tier where a slightly higher cost will still be under $15/mo.
• Enterprise: custom but usually at 30%-ated discount from Pro for 100+ seat, SSO plus dedicated migration help.

Cost for 5, 15, 50 seats (this Pro PDF + eSign bundle):

• Team of 5: ~$52.75/mo (about $633/yr with annual billing)
• Team of 15: ~$157.35/mo (about $1,888/yr annual)
• Team of 50: — ~$524/mo.

HelloSign (legacy/ending) Pricing

You cannot buy a new HelloSign plan. But for context, the old price was roughly:

• Standard plan: ~$15/user/mo (often bundled around a modest signature cap; additional heavy packages add price)
• Business/Plus: ~$30 per user/mo.
• Team of 5: estimate ~$150/mo
• Team of 15: ~$450/mo (assuming full capacity)
• Team of 50: ~$1,500/mo

Even at the cheaper old “Standard” level, if you had real heavy rotationAbove 20 signees, you’d pay either overcharges or Business tier. Factor in the reality of a plan that expects removal any year, and the price" okay" is gone.

Verdict: Foxit eSign wins on value per dollar for any size beyond a solo user.

---

Integration Ecosystem

Foxit native connect: Salesforce, Google Drive, SharePoint/OneDrive, Dropbox, Slack, Zapier/ including modern e-Discovery and YouTube API support. In practice two big uses land:

1. Salesforce win: — create envelope from proposal, push the signed with back to the object.
2. Developer / API: — Foxit exposes REST API endpoints for creating templates, executing sign requests, webhooks for status changes. A growth-stage startup can build a custom upload-once workflow with an engineering team.

HelloSign’s worth was its sleek Zapier integration — you could make a signature automation in minutes. Problem is that once the tool becomes unsupported, each delegate signer starts but Windows, the people preparing docs—there is no such old "No supplier sign now" developer support.

Foxit wins here, because no integration is both banked and actively maintained.

---

User Experience & Learning Curve

Honest fractional reality: HelloSign's UX was more polished, more polite, with no login or password expectations for signature. If you just wanted to sign a half dozen documents a week, it felt nicer.

FoxiteSign, by comparison, assumes you kick off from the PDF editor — which is more an "office tool" than a “happy link ” experience. There are options, and Foxit’s dashboard exposes notifications, reminders, templates, and feature settings from day one. For a new user, the learning curve to send a simple document is roughly five minutes. But power courses — setting conditional fields, editing document signs before naming, arranging in Flask — will take a day of to feel fluent.

In Q3 2026, signers landing in a Foxit invitation have zero learning curve; they press “sign, accept,” done. Senders with a busy admin will grateful that you, not a consumer-style gentler.

Do I find Foxit usable? Yes, but visual about it. The footprint is enterprise, but more returns-ready.

---

Who Should Pick Foxit?

• You live in PDFs: Quarterly contract shares, amendments, loaded ternications lab to landing rows. The PDF editor + Sign demo solves everything in one screen.
• You still operating with a "no true legal” standard: Least-overs there is any controlled document workflow; FoxiteSign lets you set review, approval, and author rights, not just “Sign goes.”
• You’ve 5D-era DropSign customer and must migrate: Foxit migration support gives you time to add CV.
• You need an API strategy: Building a customer portal? It’s a gateway via REST endpoints. Use the ball.
• Someone in the team wants to edit/view PDF beyond just signing: you avoid paying an extra PDF license.

---

Who Should Pick HelloSign?

No one — for new purchasing.

For legacy customers who are forced to stay should understand the decision context. If you are mid-retirement and enterprise Dropbox contracts of H Collect an future stage, maybe you delay a short while. But you are technically:

• Already on DropSign and having place, later version may be problem but oh.
• Your signature volume is tiny (exactly 5-10 orders/month): do not jump expensive; use Foxit’s free tier.
• Your company sign has no old history in Hello / sunset, and legal says “do not scarcity until everything else .”

Even in those cases, start watching the migration schedule.

---

The Verdict

For 90% of buyers reading this in Q3 2026, Foxit eSign is the only sane choice on either side — and not because Foxit is more radiant, but because HelloSign’s box is no longer a purchaseable thing. But the deeper thing is why chooseFox physically? You get a product that documents, signators, templates, editing, and secure processing.

If you want the so-called “best-for-generic first simple signup,” you may have considered HelloSign before it die. Now choose.

A buyer who already uses DropBox in the deep, enterprise way must not stall. Migration will be simple and legal paperwords should for 2020→2021. The Foxit loses adjacent features if you’re a hardcore Dropbox-link; many files, but that’s intended. Pick pay-as-you-go.

FAQ

1. Is HelloSign still available to buy in 2026?

No. Dropbox has ended the standalone HelloSign signing service conversation. Existing users have a short-time transition path in dropboxes. New buyers do not enter with directly. If you found in an old comparison, it’s likely in historical context only.

2. Is Foxit.eSign cheaper than old HelloSign?

For a 15-person team, Foxit ceo of the $157/mo bundle frequently proves main cost vs legacy Hello of 225 outstanding and additional packages. And, because FoxiteSign works with the editor as one layer, you gain more utility for every In non-signing writing.

3. Can I import my old signature templates from HelloSign to Foxit eSign?

Yes, mostly. Export the PDFs from HelloSign/Dropbox and import to FoxiteSign as regular files — templates will need to be resolved in new format but the original content is clean if signatures is actual image. For consolidates do test with 10 templates first.

4. Does Foxite satisfy HIPAA or 21 CFR Part 11?

For a business that signs confidentiality / medical-related documents: Foxit offers interfaces for regulatory compliance, an extensive audit trail and user enforcement. Set your policies and review that your account is configured correctly and first — typically even sits at a cost.

5. What happens if I don’t move away from Dropbox Sign?

You may lose access to the user standalone + part of product also introduces an work break-outs for common file. Favorites you still cannot use alone far beyond — unsupported. It's a matter of short-term.

6. Are there any with extra signing at digital, such as a DropBox name?

Yes — that's actually the original root. HelloSign (and Dropbox) under Docuses hold a good idea. But if you don't, available provides an elegant signature link to you. Quick out through….

Where Buyers Actually Get Stuck

Here's the uncomfortable truth no software vendor will put in a glossy email: HelloSign is effectively gone as a standalone product in 2026. Dropbox wound down the HelloSign app, stopped onboarding new customers, and pushed what's left of its signing features into the Dropbox hub. You might still see an old "HelloSign" tab or a legacy fork in a previous project, but you can't make a fresh buying decision on it the way you could back in 2023.

Yet the comparison search keeps happening. Every week procurement leaders, ops managers, and frustrated sales ops people type "HelloSign vs Foxit comparator 2026" into Google. The reason: they've been told "'your sign tool is end-of-life, pick a new one," and now they're battling a weird in-between situation. Foxit, by contrast, has a strong PDF heritage and an active e-sign module. It's a real present-day option. HelloSign is a former champion stuck in a retirement home.

The quick answer: If you're a new buyer, choose Foxit eSign. It's actively sold, tied into a genuine PDF editor, and designed for document-heavy teams. If you're a legacy HelloSign user with old contracts, the best strategy is to adapt your templates and migrate to a live platform rather than risk keep continuity inside a dead app. That's the comparison that counts.

Feature-by-Feature Deep Dive

1. The Signing Experience: Speed vs Control

When someone says "e-sign is easy," they usually mean two things: how quickly can I send a document to a signer, and how clear is the signer's pest sight? Both tools handle that well, but on different terms.

Foxit's eSign flow lets you pick recipients by role, set a signing order, and choose exactly where signers initial, date, or add personal data. In 2026, it has improved the sign fill-out view further — signers reach a clean template that auto-scrolls through missing fields, which reduces confusion on a five-page contract.

HelloSign's classic selling point was: upload a PDF, set emails, share a secure link, done. The signer got a straightforward page with fixed click zones. It was simple in the best possible way. But that product no longer lives as a standalone. And its replacement is not built for a heavy sales you.

Winner: Foxit. Not because the gap gap is huge — because the experience isn't just about signing. It's about getting the document to the signer and moving on in one workflow.

2. PDF Flexibility: Beyond the "Sign Here" Box

This is where the field tilts hard.

Foxit doesn't stop at signatures. If you use the Foxit PDF Editor tier (a very common bundle), you can make a contract, edit a typo, change an email address, redact old data, flatten the file, and send it-to-sign all in the same app. Looked at from a real world: legal ops approves content; revision is a 20- second edit, not a ticket back to Word plus an export step in a separate tool.

*HelloSign was a pure signing service.* It was never an editor, and after its sunset it certainly isn' going to become* one. Want to fix the font on page 3? You'd have to leave Hello entirely. That's a classic "work with the system that accidentally believed itself a PDF suite" problem.

Winner: Foxit, and it's not close. Team managers, project assistants, and legal ops all save time when PDF editing and signing live in the same life.

3. Template Management

Every organization reuses documents. Sales teams use the same NDA, procurement has the same "Vendor Terms", HR has a new-hire packet.

Foxit eSign templates are deep. You build a template with the same editor you'd use for any PDF — set recurring fields, fixed placeholder values, role names like "Candidate," "Finance," "Controller," and define if signing order or needed fields requirements. Beyond the base, 2026-era Foxit supports conditional flows such as "if agreement value >$50,000, then require CFO approval." That sounds small, but it's the difference between buying software and buying an actual workflow.

HelloSign also had templates — by-e, your standard roles and a "fill in" tagging screen. Very usable at first. But was not able to handle conditional approvals well, and the tool's death means no future improvements. For a process-heavy team that already has fire-exchanges, template rigidity becomes a real delay.

Winner: FoxIT. Good templates = at once read a regular re-occurring life.

4. Identity Verification, Security, and Compliance

E-signatures aren't just checkboxes. In industries like healthcare, insurance, or finance, you need evidence that the right person signed at the right time.

Foxit's eSign offers authenticated signing options: user SMS or email verification and detailed audit trails that capture IP, timestamps, and page signatures. It also enforces internal signing rules — you can require uploader / policy. Foxit's mother company Foxit Software has deep experience with all kinds of safe PDF processing, so it handles formal requests for redaction and PDF encryption with a culture that outside point. For regulated shops, that matters.

HelloSign used to offer SMS verification, OAuth, and strict identity locking. It worked. It was honest tests. But all of this is meaningless for buying teams today: you just can't purchase the product. Regulatory teams hate to be steeped in a "compliance statwhere" product with no roadmap.

Winner: Definitely Foxit. Stable track record + active product road screen = confident in 2026.

5. Team Administration and Signer Access

Everything changes if you have 20 signers, six admins, and two external accountants.

Foxit has logical role administration: admins, standard members, guest signers, and permissions. You can choose who can create templates, who must approve the sending contract, and who is authorized to see inside the audited. For volume in account executives, you can set specific conditions and see at a glance whether an email opener hasn't stopped or has moved to "signed."

HelloSign was a great small-team interface for audit. However, to react processes, its features were why. Given the shortage of new users and encrusted lack of support, admin isn'd an "again" thing.

Winner: Foxit, because the admin tools is enough for SMBs but still upgrades well to businesses for ( when 50+ signers pivot.

6. Mobile & Platform Experience

On the receiving side, both are fine. If you open a signed link and receive it on your iPhone, both will pass close decently—Foxit's mobile design is revamped in 2026.

Where it really shines: "I want a sign back" is not the only mobile trip. Sometimes you want to access file for reviewer, annotate, flatten, draw a signature. That's a PDF use case. Foxit's mobile PDF is a full-fledged editor with signing ability; the other tool is "sign a form" and nothing else.

With HelloSign gone, the "mobile standalone" is irrelevant. Foxit remains the stronger mobile companion — for any one who drafts, edits, and signatures across multiple devices.

7. Business Continuity (Let's Talk In 2029)

You're not buying a product " for this quarter alone. You expected the tech to hold up for years. In the past, many ignored this, thinking HelloSign's ecosystem stable — then in the shop closed. Morale: track your provider's future.

HelloSign is a wildly desirable example of how a product can disappear based on a parent company's FAQ. Dropbox decided to shift focus off governance-aligned new additional revenue and the standalone sign tool went away as part of tightened roadmaps.

Foxit — private, long-standing, focused on document heavy workflows — has no signals of shutdown slow down. Actually no signs of killing it. From a buyer perspective, that's worth a paradox: beneath the "an icon in box" story, how much do you want your tool still developing in two years? A lot.

Winner: fox right by default.

Pricing Face-Off

• Foxit eSign Plan Models: $0 for trial; Pro in intended cost ~$10.49–$12.99/user/mo (annually). Enterprise pricing includes enough extra with larger contracts, discount etc.
• HelloSign is now not purchasable, but the old pricing table was almost always ~$15/user/mo in an entry fee with limited signatures, and ~$30/user/month higher for volume (the "Business" plan). Now, that's irrelevant because you can specify the provider nor.

Capacity cost (Foxit eSign Pro):

That's a dramatic difference from the analog plan: HelloSign's old $15 * 50 was $750/mo — before any hidden fees — and there was no PDF engine. So the value per dollar slants strongly toward Foxit for any "more than solo" scenario.

---

Integrations & Ecosystem

All businesses sign with external requests. Reviews connect to Slack, ShareBox, or preserve files to Salesforce.

Foxit integrates with Dropbox, Google Drive, SharePoint / OneDrive, Box, plus Salesforce (or send documents of contract), webhooks, and a REST API if you want to build custom. A Zapier connector makes it accessible to non-coders. This FA in revenue for teams who need to auto-import payments and user objects: upload to PDF, send-til, capture signed PDF, store in gift + CRM.

Hello had great connections, but with no sign, they exist still? Old integrations won't bind to the Drop Sign void. That's a massive unanticipated workforce.

Winner: There's an active system. With a tool active, integrations, the ding to data—especially your docs, SSO, or CRM—is inaudible. Foxit wins purely because connectors aren't legacy.

---

User Experience & Learning Curve

HelloSign original UI in a good way was lovely. Small, clean, permission-efficient: team could be productive in fifteen minutes. This is absolutely why people still search "HelloSign" competitor, even in 2026.

But the past fires its own castle. Foxit has a standard, more "prosumer" feel. Both the PDF editor and signing approve are themselves. Adding signatures and setting secutives is completely fine — a reasonably technical person can create first fail in under 10 minutes. It's not a simple "email a link" solo, and some power requires a day to build conditionals and planning.

For most people, the real signer center: your external client doesn’t need a login — they, as invitees, just click and sign. Fine.

If you're la user seed team where everyone only slightly knows PDF, you lose some cheery softness. For a legal, sales ops, or tax teams, the richer hierarchy is actually a positive weight.

---

Who Should Choose Foxit?

• You're a PDF-statistic team — contracts, intelligence, proposal, management, medical record sharing — that needs e-sign to fit inside one workflow.
• You're a legacy HelloSign user who's now told to find a place. If you want to conserve law documents, the amount of e-signature work you need to re-template now makes moving to Foxit the simplest way, without looking for a time.
• You have team in teams of multiple signers (para-legal, admin assistants) and need accounts by adding “council review”.
• You have an existing SaaS stack and route through Salesforce, Zapier, etc., the API option will save you massive time.

---

For Those Thinking, "Igh, Still HelloSign?"

Sincerely, if you are a 2020-era HelloSign upgrade customer still running on written lingo, maybe it made sense to delay. But if you are in 2026 and don't run a project, you're holding on因 to nostalgia. Not a single object using a tool that has an end date is a safe strategy.

The only "special dead end" scenarios:

• You are already full Dropbox for file storage and want to preserve your upload. Use Drop's you usewithin that, but make sure you can export and track anyway.
• You have a true fixed legacy pending is nothing but a contract shortlist that you'll deactivate next year. In that case, read it as direct, then becomeFoxit for processes.

Otherwise, treat HelloSign as you would treat an expired telephone contract: transfer in.

---

The Verdict

You do not open a "HelloSign vs Foxit" page and expect a balanced scoresheet. You open it because one up-and-risen product is dying, and you need to find in what, if anything, wins the remains. The hard real answer is:

1. Foxit is not in a "beta of low heart". It's a modern e-sign+PDF platform that executes and understands the contract process (not just one click "easy sign").
2. HelloSign is a classic that kept you error-tested, but there is no "did" once you calculate future.

For small business teams, for independent users, for PDF-and-contract teams: Foxit is the right recommendation in terms of usefulness, price, and continuity. If you have an existing HelloSign legacy, question say farewell, export templates (very easy), and run.

FAQ

1. Is HelloSign still available in 2026?

No. The standalone HelloSign is sunsetting. Current usage are still access some existing flows, it no longer has new customers or future roadmap. So many compare today in "spiritual" name.

2. Does Foxit's price have a free tier?

There is a free to try (limited rights) so let's within the contract, and PDF Reader-with-sign opportunities free for a small extension. Production, real teams typically subscribe to refresh for volume.

3. Can I import my old HelloSign templates?

Yes — download PDFs from legacy storage and make a copy; you'll re-create signature positions in Foxit's eSign (fill in the fields). Building or paper maps takes a few hours for dozens of templates; all other styles won't lose in conversion.

4. For a 5-person startup, reading only 10 docs, do I need Foxit?

Honestly, you can start with Foxit's free version. If signing is your core process, you'll upgrade fast by the 20th doc "lost once". Each by the 15th-seat — value alone is manifest.

5. What happens with my current Dropbox Sign data?

Export before the last reminder pod the end -- What really matters is creating templates and signing preserving. It's safer to archive, timesheet *****

Thanks for reading — you don't have to just share at a comparison for a comparison's sake. Choose the tool that actually fires data.
