Production needs a paid plan from $50 a month and a Go-Live review, and the status site lists 34 incidents since 9 July 2026.\n\n**airSlate SignNow.** The REST API has a public OpenAPI 3.0 spec with 354 operations, Markdown docs, a free Development mode with 500 invites and a hosted MCP server with OAuth. API keys don't expire and carry full account access, no idempotency keys were found, and the MCP server's GitHub repository was archived when checked on 7 October 2026.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Docusign\n\n1. Call /oauth/userinfo once after sign-in, cache `base_uri` and the account ID, and send every eSignature call to that host under /restapi/v2.1\n2. Create and send an envelope in one Envelopes:create call with `status` set to `sent`. Docusign asks for five calls or fewer per envelope\n3. Subscribe to Connect or set `eventNotification` for status. Polling one envelope more than once every 15 minutes is flagged and can fail the Go-Live review\n4. Set `transactionId` on envelope creation so a retry after a lost response can find the envelope. The ID is valid for seven days\n5. Read `X-RateLimit-Reset` and `X-BurstLimit-Remaining`, and stop calling until the reset after a 429\n\n### airSlate SignNow\n\n1. Call https://api.signnow.com with `Authorization: Bearer \u003cAPI key or access token\u003e`. Development and Live share this host, and Development documents carry a watermark\n2. Request OAuth tokens with a narrow `scope` such as `document/* GET/user`. The default `*` grants every API action\n3. Read `X-RateLimit-Remaining` and `X-RateLimit-Reset` on each response. The limit is 500 requests an hour in Development and 1,000 in Live, and 429 has no Retry-After\n4. Check invite status before resending. No idempotency key exists, and a repeated invite call counts as another charged invite\n5. Set `secret_key` when creating an event subscription and verify `X-SignNow-Signature` (HMAC SHA-256 of the body) on every callback\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Docusign or airSlate SignNow?\n\nairSlate SignNow scores 68.5 (B) on agent readiness against Docusign's 62.5 (B), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories. Docusign leads on maintenance \u0026 community.\n\n### Do Docusign and airSlate SignNow need an API key?\n\nDocusign uses an OAuth sign-in. airSlate SignNow takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Docusign and airSlate SignNow without installing anything?\n\nYes. Docusign has a hosted endpoint at https://mcp.docusign.com/mcp and airSlate SignNow at https://api.signnow.com.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/docusign-vs-signnow.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/docusign-vs-signnow.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"docusign\", \"b\": \"signnow\"}`.
