Runs on its own: L4 · Runs on its own. Sign-up needed no phone and no challenge, and an emailed code got the API key working at once. From there our agent read the docs, called the API and ran the full template-to-signed-PDF workflow on its own through the REST API, with signer steps left to a browser by design. Production features, webhooks and team access sit behind Stripe Checkout, needing a card, so our agent stayed on the free plan and had nothing to cancel. Account deletion worked through a web form, no password asked, scheduled within the stated window, with no API or CLI route for it.

Gets in on its own: L3 · Does the work. Signup and email verification ran headless with no challenge shown. It stopped at credentials: the API key lives in Settings > API behind a mandatory onboarding wizard, and the headless session did not carry over, so no key could be minted without a browser. Once a key was in hand, the API drafted a document in test mode, with the documented reference covering fields, signing order, send, tracking and templates. Paying stayed untested since no card was entered, and leaving meant a web-only Cancel Plan flow with a retention offer before the account and key were deleted.
