        "excerpt": "For a real estate SaaS I'd pay attention to the signing UX and not just the API itself. If agents have to leave your app to sign, it quickly feels bolted on. I'd compare the embedded options from a few european providers and Youtrust is one I came across for this king of setup. Their API supports integrating the signing experience into your own app. At 500/month I'd also check the branding limits",
