Is April a Leegality alternative?
For companies that want drafting, review and approvals with simple e-signature, yes. If you need Aadhaar eSign, DSC or stamping at volume, Leegality does that and April does not.
Does April support Aadhaar eSign?
Not today. April signs with a private link, an optional SMS code, or the signer signed in to April, and records every step in an audit certificate.
Can I use both?
Yes. Some teams draft and review in April, then sign in a tool with Aadhaar eSign. April can import the signed copy back as a file.
Does April sell e-stamp paper?
No. Buy it from an authorised vendor and attach it in April; it is placed in front of the signed PDF.
