The panel's verdict
Youtrust SAS (formerly Yousign, Caen, France) sells electronic signatures at simple, advanced and qualified eIDAS levels through a web app and API. Its strength is the signing workflow, where scores cluster at 7-8: templates, CSV bulk send with per-line error validation, seven signer languages, automatic reminders, approvers and custom branding are documented. Evidence and retention scores cluster at 6-7, on a per-signer PDF audit trail with IP addresses, authentication mode and a document hash, ten-year evidence retention and optional ten-year archiving with the certified archiver Arkhineo. The weak spots are pricing transparency, signature levels, identity verification and sovereignty, which all score 4-5: no plan prices, identification fees or API figures are public, and we found no public information naming the qualified trust service provider, its EU Trust List entry or subprocessor locations. The pages state data is created and hosted exclusively within the EU, name the host as Amazon Web Services' French establishment in Courbevoie, and describe standard contractual clauses for processor transfers outside the EU. No notable disagreement was computed; scores sit within one point on every criterion.
Speaks for it
- Signing workflow, the strongest area at 7-8, documents templates, CSV bulk send, seven signer languages, automatic reminders and custom branding.
- A per-signer PDF audit trail records sender and signer IP addresses, authentication mode and a document hash, with signature evidence retained ten years.
- Identity verification tiers run from image and video capture to biometric face match and a certified hybrid with human expert review, with ID data kept 90 days.
- Integration and API scores cluster at 5-6 on webhooks with separate sandbox and production environments, a free developer sandbox, and Zapier and HubSpot connectors.
- The qualified signature price is published as 'Ab 10€/QES' on Plus and Pro, with automated forms from 'Ab 10€/Monat'.
Held against it
- We found no public information naming the qualified trust service provider, its EU Trust List entry, or which countries offer which signature level.
- No plan prices, identification fees, API figures, overage terms or contract terms are public, so the cost of a real signing volume cannot be computed.
- We found no public information on signing order, conditional fields, or delegation to substitute signers.
- We found no public information on long-term validation, a named timestamp provider or an independent validation report.
- We found no public information confirming the contracting entity's jurisdiction and ownership, subprocessor identities or certification scope, while the privacy policy relies on standard contractual clauses for transfers outside the EU.
Best for
- You send the same document to many signers across countries and need CSV bulk send with per-line error validation in seven signer languages.
- You build signing into your own application and want documented webhooks with a free sandbox before going live.
- You need a documented per-signer audit trail, with IP addresses and a document hash, behind every signature for later disputes.
- Your SMB needs unlimited simple and advanced signatures on the Plus or Pro plans, with the qualified level priced per signature at 'Ab 10€/QES'.
Avoid if
- You must name the qualified trust service provider and its EU Trust List entry before relying on qualified signatures for high-stakes documents.
- You need published plan prices and identification fees to budget a known signing volume, which the captured pages do not give.
- Your workflows hinge on signing-order control, conditional fields or delegation to substitute signers, which the pages do not document.
- Your procurement requires confirmed subprocessor locations and certification scope before purchase, neither of which the vendor's pages confirm.

eIDAS levels & trust services
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Which signature levels the platform offers — simple, advanced, qualified, and qualified seals — through which qualified trust service provider on the EU Trust List, for which countries and legal regimes (eIDAS, ZertES), and on which plans.
0 — No signature level named; the platform calls its signature "legally binding" without saying which kind it is.
3 — Simple signatures by default with "advanced" or "qualified" mentioned as available, but no trust service provider named and no statement on which plan or country offers which level.
5 — SES, AdES and QES offered and labelled in the product, the qualified trust service provider named, and which documents need which level explained for at least Germany or the EU.
8 — Every level documented with the plans and countries it is available in, the QTSP's entry on the EU Trust List linked, QES under eIDAS (and ZertES where relevant) stated, qualified electronic seals for company documents, and the signature level printed in the signed document and audit trail.
10 — Levels are an explicit product decision: the provider is or contracts a named QTSP with its conformity assessment published, level selection per document type or template, remote QES without a separate account, EUDI wallet support stated with a date, and the legal effect per level documented for the main EU markets.
The Legal Counsel
Simple, advanced and qualified signatures are each labelled with their legal effect, risk level and document examples, and the pricing page ties levels to plans with qualified signatures priced per signature. But we found no public information naming the qualified trust service provider, its EU Trust List entry, ZertES coverage, whether the level reached is printed in the signed file, or any EUDI wallet commitment — and a qualified signature without a named provider behind it is one I cannot yet clear for the highest-stakes files. 5 6 9 2
The HR Operations Lead
Simple, advanced and qualified levels are labelled and mapped to document types — employment contracts sit under advanced — and the qualified signature's price and plan availability are published. But we found no public information naming the qualified trust service provider, its EU Trust List entry, or which country offers which level, so I cannot tell who stands behind the certificate my fixed-term contracts depend on. 5 6 2 9
The Revenue Operations Lead
Simple, advanced and qualified levels are labelled in the product with per-level document examples, and pricing maps them out — simple and advanced unlimited on Plus and Pro, qualified from €10 per QES — which is what I need to route a quote versus an employment contract. We found no public information naming the qualified trust service provider, linking its EU Trust List entry, stating country availability per level, or describing the eSeal add-on as a qualified seal. 5 6 9 2 13
The Integration Engineer
Simple, advanced and qualified signatures are each labelled with risk levels, document examples and per-plan availability, the qualified signature is priced per signature, and an electronic seal appears as an add-on. We found no public information naming the qualified trust service provider, linking it to the EU Trust List, or stating country-specific availability, and we found no public information on whether the seal is a qualified one or which signature level is printed in the signed evidence. 5 6 2 1 13
The Data Protection Officer
Simple, advanced and qualified signatures are each labelled with their eIDAS meaning, per-level document examples, and the plans carrying them, with the qualified level priced "Ab 10€/QES" on Plus and Pro and described as the legal equivalent of a handwritten signature. The trust service chain is what I cannot verify: we found no public information naming the qualified trust service provider, its EU Trust List entry, or which countries offer which level. An electronic seal is offered as a product, though the captured pages do not state it is a qualified seal. 1 5 6 2
The Skeptic
SES, AES and QES are labelled with per-level document examples, and the qualified add-on is priced "Ab 10€/QES" on Plus and Pro. But we found no public information naming the qualified trust service provider or its EU Trust List entry, on which countries offer which level, or on ZertES; an electronic seal appears as an add-on with no statement whether it is qualified. 5 6 9 2
Signer identification
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
How the signer is identified for each level: email and SMS codes, video ident, eID card (Online-Ausweis), bank ident or EUDI wallet — who performs it, in which countries it works, and what happens to the ID data afterwards.
0 — Email link only; no statement on how signers are authenticated.
3 — Email plus SMS or access code, with "ID verification" mentioned as an add-on but no methods, provider or countries named.
5 — Identification methods for AdES and QES listed by name (for example video ident, eID, bank ident), the identification provider named, and the countries or ID documents they accept stated.
8 — Methods documented per level and country, automated and agent-based ident distinguished, reuse of an identification for later signatures explained, retention and deletion of ID data stated, and the ident provider listed as subprocessor.
10 — Identification is transparent end to end: every method with its countries, assurance level and failure rate or completion guidance, EUDI wallet and national eID supported, ID data minimisation and retention committed, and the signer-facing privacy notice published.
The Legal Counsel
The identification ladder is named rung by rung — image, video, face-match with biometric comparison, and a certified hybrid of automated facial recognition with human expert review — and ID data retention is stated precisely (90 days for ID data, seven years after certificate expiry). We found no public information on who performs the identification, which countries or ID documents are accepted, or any national eID or EUDI wallet route, which is what I need before clearing a qualified signature on a cross-border matter. 3 5 7 8
The HR Operations Lead
Verification tiers are named — image, video, face match and a certified level combining automated facial recognition with human expert review — and the privacy policy commits to ninety days' retention of ID data, with an ID wallet for the signer's identity. We found no public information on the identification provider, the ID documents accepted or the countries they work in, so I cannot confirm the IDs my applicants actually hold will pass. 8 7 3 5
The Revenue Operations Lead
Identification is concrete rather than hand-wavy: OTP for simple and advanced signatures, and named tiers — image, video with live capture, biometric face match, and a certified tier combining automated facial recognition with human expert review — with ID data kept 90 days stated in the privacy policy. We found no public information on who performs the identifications, which countries or ID documents are accepted, or how an identification is reused for later signatures. 7 8 5 3
The Integration Engineer
Verification levels are named and described — image capture, live video, biometric face match, and a certified hybrid of automated facial recognition with human expert review — and the privacy policy commits to deleting ID verification data after ninety days and certificate-related data seven years after certificate expiry. We found no public information on the identification provider behind these checks, the countries or ID documents accepted, or how each verification level maps to each signature level. 8 7 3
The Data Protection Officer
Live video capture of the ID document, biometric face match, and a certified hybrid of automated facial recognition with systematic human expert review are all described, and the privacy policy commits to ninety days' retention of ID data after verification and seven years for certificate-related data after certificate expiry — retention stated is the part I look for first. However, we found no public information on who performs the identification, which countries or ID documents are accepted, or where the identification provider sits in the subprocessor chain. 3 5 7 8
The Skeptic
Methods are listed by name — SMS or email one-time codes, image, video, face-match and certified hybrid checks with human expert review — and ID data retention is committed at 90 days. We found no public information naming the identification provider, the countries or accepted ID documents, or eID-card and EUDI-wallet routes for qualified signatures; the privacy policy mentions an ID wallet without describing its methods. 3 5 7 8 11
Signing workflow & signer experience
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Getting a document out and back signed: templates and form fields, signing order and roles, bulk sending, reminders and delegation, signing without an account or app, mobile signing, and accessibility for signers.
0 — Single-recipient signing of an uploaded PDF; no templates, order or reminders.
3 — Multiple signers and basic templates, but no signing order, no bulk send, and signers must create an account.
5 — Templates with field placement, sequential and parallel signing order, automatic reminders and expiry, signing without an account on mobile, and a status overview for the sender.
8 — Roles and conditional fields, bulk sending, delegation and substitute signers, team and approval workflows, branded signer experience, signer languages listed, and signer accessibility addressed.
10 — The workflow is complete and documented: web forms and self-service signing links, mixed signature levels within one process, in-person and remote signing, a published accessibility conformance statement, and team administration with shared templates and audit of sender actions.
The Legal Counsel
Templates, automatic reminders and expiry, approvers and followers, detailed CSV bulk sending with per-plan quotas, custom branding and seven signer languages are documented, and the audit trail even distinguishes in-person signing from link and email signing. We found no public information on signing order control, conditional fields or delegation to substitute signers, which keeps this below a complete-workflow grade; an accessibility declaration is at least listed among the published legal documents. 2 4 10 11 14 2
The HR Operations Lead
Bulk sending from a template via CSV, with upload validation, per-signer requests, seven signer languages and progress tracking, is exactly what I need for two hundred contracts a year, and automatic reminders, approvers, custom branding and in-person or link-based signing contexts are documented. We found no public information on signing order, substitute signers, conditional fields or a published accessibility statement. 10 2 13 11
The Revenue Operations Lead
This is the machinery I judge products by, and most of it is documented: templates with placeholder signers, bulk send from CSV with error validation and seven signer languages, automatic reminders, approvers and followers, custom branding, and signing by email link, shared link or in person with real-time tracking and bottleneck detection. We found no public information on delegation to substitute signers, conditional fields, or mixed signature levels within one process, which leaves a few edge workflows manual; an accessibility statement is listed among the legal documents but its contents are not shown. 10 11 13 2 9
The Integration Engineer
Bulk sending from CSV with per-line error validation in seven signer languages, placeholder signers, approvers and followers, automatic reminders and expiry, custom branding and real-time tracking are all documented, and in-person signing shows up in the audit trail's signature context. An accessibility statement is listed among the published legal documents; we found no public information on signing order, conditional fields, or delegation and substitute signers. 10 2 2 4 13
The Data Protection Officer
Templates, automatic reminders, approvers and followers, workspaces, custom branding, real-time tracking, a shareable signing link, and a thoroughly documented CSV bulk send with seven signer languages are all evidenced, and the audit trail even distinguishes in-person signing from link and email signing. The gaps are workflow depth: we found no public information on signing order (sequential or parallel), delegation or substitute signers, conditional fields, or the content of the accessibility statement, which appears only as a listed legal document. 2 9 10 11 13
The Skeptic
Templates with field placement, automatic reminders, approvers, custom branding, seven signer languages, CSV bulk send with per-plan quotas, shareable links and in-person signing are all documented, and an accessibility statement sits among the published legal documents. We found no public information on signing order, conditional fields, or delegation and substitute signers. 2 4 10 11 13 2
Evidence, validation & retention
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
What proves a signature years later: the audit trail and certificate of completion, qualified timestamps, long-term validation (PAdES-LTV), validation reports, and how long signed documents and evidence are kept — and whether they can leave the platform.
0 — A signed PDF and nothing else; no audit trail, no statement on storage or deletion.
3 — An audit trail or completion certificate exists, but its contents, the timestamp source and the retention period are unstated.
5 — Audit trail with signer events, IP addresses and authentication method embedded in or attached to the signed PDF, timestamps applied, documents downloadable, and the retention period stated.
8 — PAdES signatures with long-term validation, qualified timestamps from a named provider, a validation tool or report, configurable retention and automatic deletion, and bulk export of documents with their evidence.
10 — Evidence outlives the subscription: LTV and archive timestamps documented, validation verifiable with independent tools such as the EU DSS validator, export to a DMS or archive with evidence intact, and post-termination access and deletion committed in the terms.
The Legal Counsel
The audit trail is well specified — sender and signer identities with IP addresses, authentication mode, consent and validation times, a document hash for integrity, a zip download of all signers' proofs, retention of signature evidence for ten years and of the registry file for ten to twenty, plus optional ten-year archiving with the certified archiver Arkhineo. What we found no public information on is long-term validation, a qualified timestamp source, or an independent validation tool — so nothing captured shows the proof standing on its own when a contract is disputed in year eight. 3 11 12 2
The HR Operations Lead
The audit trail is a per-signer PDF with IPs, authentication mode and a document hash, a timestamped evidence file is created automatically, evidence retention is stated at ten years, and archiving with a certified third-party archiver is offered for ten years with a dual-location option. We found no public information on long-term validation, the timestamp provider, or a validation report, and retention periods appear fixed rather than configurable. 11 3 12 2
The Revenue Operations Lead
Every completed request auto-generates a per-signer PDF audit trail with IP addresses, authentication mode, consent and validation dates and a document hash, downloadable as a zip, backed by a timestamped evidence file, ten-year evidence retention and a certified Arkhineo archiver with a ten-year digital-safe and dual-location option. We found no public information on long-term validation, who provides the timestamps, or an independent validation report — so I cannot yet tell a customer how a signature is proven in year eight. 11 12 2 3
The Integration Engineer
The audit trail is specified down to IP addresses, authentication mode, signature context and a document hash for integrity checking, generated per signer and downloadable as a ZIP with all signers' evidence, kept ten years with post-contract retention stated per country, plus a timestamped evidence file per signature. Optional archiving through the certified archiver Arkhineo in a digital safe with a dual-location option covers the archive side. We found no public information on long-term validation, qualified timestamps from a named provider, or validation with independent tools. 11 3 12 2
The Data Protection Officer
The audit trail is concrete: generated per signer as a PDF, carrying sender and signer IP addresses, the authentication mode, consent and validation dates, and a document hash for integrity, downloadable as a zip; the privacy policy states ten years' retention of signature evidence, a timestamped evidence file is created automatically, and optional archiving goes to a certified third-party archiver (Arkhineo) for ten years with a dual-location option. We found no public information on long-term validation (PAdES-LTV), the provider or qualified status of the timestamps, an independent validation report or tool, or automatic deletion. 3 11 12 2
The Skeptic
A PDF audit trail per signer records IP addresses, authentication mode, consent and validation dates and a document hash, signature evidence is retained ten years, and an optional certified archiver (Arkhineo, ten years, dual-location) exists. We found no public information on long-term validation, a named timestamp provider or validation report, or configurable retention and automatic deletion. 3 11 12 2
Integrations & API
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Signing from inside the systems where contracts are made: a documented API with webhooks and a sandbox, embedded signing, and connectors for Microsoft 365, CRM, HR, DMS and ERP systems.
0 — No API and no integrations; everything happens in the vendor's web app.
3 — A few named integrations or a Zapier connector, and an API mentioned without public documentation.
5 — A documented REST API with webhooks and a sandbox, plus connectors for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace and at least one CRM or HR system named.
8 — Embedded signing in the customer's own application, API access to every signature level, versioned API with rate limits published, SDKs, and connectors for named DMS, ERP or HR systems with their scope.
10 — Integration is a product: white-label and embedded flows documented, API parity with the web app, a status page with incident history, deprecation policy, and a marketplace of integrations with stated maintainers.
The Legal Counsel
A documented API with a free sandbox, separate sandbox and production webhook environments, a rich event catalogue and a webhook tracking interface are public, alongside HubSpot and Zapier connectors and a shareable link for embedding in existing flows. We found no public information on connectors for Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, published rate limits, SDKs, DMS or ERP scope, or whether every signature level is reachable through the API. 2 9 13 14 2
The HR Operations Lead
A documented API with separate sandbox and production environments, granular webhook events, a webhook tracking interface and a free developer sandbox covering paid-plan features covers the technical side well, with HubSpot contact sync and Zapier named. We found no public information on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace connectors, a named HR system connector, embedded signing, SDKs or rate limits. 14 13 2 9
The Revenue Operations Lead
Webhooks are properly documented — sandbox and production environments, granular signature-request, signer and contact events, a tracking interface — with a free sandbox containing paid-plan features, HubSpot and Zapier connectors, and embedded signing via API at a discounted price, which is how I would push signing into my CRM. We found no public information on connectors for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, DMS or ERP systems, on SDKs, rate limits or API versioning, and whether every signature level is reachable via API is not stated. 13 14 2 8
The Integration Engineer
The webhook side is genuinely documented — signature request, signer and contact events with separate sandbox and production environments, mandatory HTTPS and a tracking interface — and the free sandbox covers every paid-plan feature with a developer centre alongside. Embedded flows get a nod through a shareable link that can sit inside existing journeys, but we found no public information on API versioning, published rate limits, SDKs, connectors beyond Zapier and HubSpot, or whether the qualified level is reachable through the API rather than the web app. 14 13 9 2 1
The Data Protection Officer
A developer centre with a free sandbox containing paid-plan features, documented webhooks with sandbox and production environments, per-event selection and a tracking interface, plus Zapier and HubSpot connectors with contact sync, are evidenced. We found no public information on published rate limits, API versioning, SDKs, embedded-signing documentation, or connectors for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or document management systems, and the API is offered at a preferential price with no figure given. 9 13 14 2
The Skeptic
A developer centre with a free sandbox, documented webhooks with sandbox and production environments and event selection, plus Zapier and HubSpot connectors are public. We found no public information on rate limits, API versioning or SDKs, or on connectors for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, DMS, ERP or HR systems; the API is offered at a "preferential price" without figures. 9 13 14 2
European sovereignty
panel opinion
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Who the contracting entity, the trust service provider and their owners are, where documents, audit trails and ID data are stored and processed, and who the subprocessors are. Independently sourced by the sovereignty pipeline.
0 — Non-EU contracting entity, no statement on where documents and signer data are stored, and subprocessors unnamed.
3 — An EU entity contracts, but documents or signer data are processed outside the EU by default without an explained safeguard, or the subprocessor list is absent.
5 — EU contracting entity and EU data storage stated, with a DPA, but the hosting, identification or trust service chain is non-EU-controlled without a stated safeguard.
8 — EU entity, documents, audit trails and ID data stored in named EU data centres, an EU qualified trust service provider, subprocessor list with locations published, and certifications (ISO 27001, ETSI conformity) published.
10 — Sovereign end to end and evidenced: European ownership, EU entity and EU QTSP, every processing location and subprocessor European, customer-selectable data residency, and certifications with their scope published.
The Legal Counsel
The captured pages state data is hosted exclusively in the European Union, name Amazon Web Services' French establishment as host, list a data processing agreement and a subprocessor list among the published legal documents, and rely on standard contractual clauses for any transfer outside the EU. But legal entity jurisdiction, ownership, data residency and subprocessor exposure are unconfirmed in what we hold, and no European qualified trust service provider or certification scope is named, so I cannot certify the chain as European end to end. 3 4 6 9
The HR Operations Lead
The pages state data is created and hosted exclusively in the European Union, the host is Amazon Web Services' French establishment in Courbevoie, a data processing agreement and a subprocessor list are offered, and standard contractual clauses cover transfers outside the EU. We found no public information on ownership or certifications with their scope, and the vendor's own captured pages do not confirm the contracting entity's jurisdiction or name the data centres. 6 4 9 3
The Revenue Operations Lead
The captured pages state data is created and hosted exclusively in the European Union, name the host as Amazon Web Services' French establishment at a Courbevoie address, rely on standard contractual clauses for any transfers outside the EU, and list a DPA and a subprocessor list among the published legal documents. We found no public information confirming the contracting entity and its ownership on the vendor's own captured pages, or publishing subprocessor locations, certification scope or the trust service chain. 4 9 6 3
The Integration Engineer
EU-only hosting is stated with the host named as Amazon Web Services' French establishment in Courbevoie, standard contractual clauses cover processor transfers, and a data processing agreement and subcontractor list are published as legal documents. We found no public information on ownership, on a named qualified trust service provider, on the locations in the subcontractor list, or on named certifications beyond a reference to technical documentation of certifications. 6 4 3 9
The Data Protection Officer
A French SAS in Caen contracts, the legal notice names the host as Amazon Web Services' French establishment in Courbevoie, the captured pages claim data is created and hosted exclusively in the EU and made in Europe, and a data processing agreement and a subprocessor list are among the published legal documents. The captured pages give different pictures on location, though: alongside the EU-hosting claims the privacy policy describes standard contractual clauses for transfers of data outside the EU by processors. We found no public information on the company's ownership, the identities and locations of the subprocessors in the trust service chain, or certifications with their scope. 3 4 6 9
The Skeptic
The vendor claims EU-only hosting, names its host at an address in Courbevoie, France, and lists a data processing agreement and subprocessor list among its legal documents, with standard contractual clauses for transfers. We found no public information confirming the contracting entity's jurisdiction and ownership from the vendor's own pages, on subprocessor identities and locations, or on named certifications — and with no trust service provider named, the trust chain is unverifiable. 3 4 6 9
Pricing transparency
Show reasoningHide reasoning
How this is scored
Whether a buyer can compute the cost of their signing volume from public pages alone — plan prices, envelope or document limits, the per-signature price of AdES and QES, identification fees, API pricing and overage.
0 — No public prices at all; every plan is a sales conversation.
3 — Plan prices published, but envelope limits, QES and identification fees are unstated — the cost of a qualified signature is unknowable.
5 — Plans with envelope or document limits priced, but at least one commonly incurred cost (per-QES fee, video ident, API access, overage) is missing or "on request".
8 — Every plan and limit priced publicly, AdES and QES priced per signature, identification fees and overage stated, API pricing published, and contract term and notice period given.
10 — Complete cost computability: the cost of a given monthly volume per signature level derivable from public pages, volume tiers published, and every add-on and price-change term on a public page.
The Legal Counsel
Envelope limits per plan and a qualified signature price from ten euros per qualified signature are published, as are add-on prices such as automated forms from ten euros a month. We found no public information on the plans' own prices, identification fees, overage, or contract term and notice period — a buyer still cannot compute the cost of a qualified-signing volume from public pages alone. 2 2
The HR Operations Lead
The qualified signature price "Ab 10€/QES" is published with its plan availability, and per-plan limits for signature requests, bulk sends, templates and workspaces are shown alongside SLA figures — the per-QES number I need before signing is there. But we found no public prices for the plan subscriptions themselves, no fees for the identification levels behind a qualified signature, API access described only as a preferential price, and the top plan is custom-priced, so my full annual cost is not computable. 2 2 13 10
The Revenue Operations Lead
What we captured gives per-plan signature-request limits, template and workspace counts, bulk-send quotas, SLA percentages, a qualified-signature price of Ab 10€/QES and automated forms from Ab 10€/Monat, with SSO, SCIM and archiving marked as annual-only add-ons — the qualified-signature cost, the usual black box, is public. No monthly plan prices appear in the captures, and we found no public information on identification fees, API pricing or overage, with the Scale plan on volume-based custom pricing, so I still cannot compute the monthly cost of a known volume. 2 2 13
The Integration Engineer
Request limits, workspaces, templates and bulk-send quotas per plan are public, the qualified signature is priced at "Ab 10€/QES" on Plus and Pro, and automated forms at "Ab 10€/Monat". We found no public information on the monthly price of any plan, on identification fees, on API pricing beyond a preferential rate, on the cost of archiving, SSO and SCIM, on overage, or on contract term and notice. 2 2 13
The Data Protection Officer
Envelope limits per plan are published (2 and 10 signature requests per month, then unlimited), the qualified signature is priced "Ab 10€/QES" on Plus and Pro, automated forms from "Ab 10€/Monat", and annual-only items like SSO, SCIM and electronic archiving are flagged as such. But we found no public information on the subscription prices of the plans themselves, identification or video-verification fees, overage terms, or contract term and notice period, and the Scale plan is a customized pricing conversation — so the cost of a real monthly volume is not computable from the captured pages. 2 13 2
The Skeptic
Simple-signature request limits per plan, a qualified price of "Ab 10€/QES", automated forms "Ab 10€/Monat", and annual-only flags for archiving, SSO and SCIM are public. We found no public information on the plans' own monthly or yearly prices, identification fees, a figure for API access, overage, or contract term and notice — the cost of a real signing volume cannot be computed. 2 13 2

Where this could be wrong
- Evidence ages. The oldest capture behind this page is from 1 Oct 2026. Vendors change pricing and policies without notice; every fact reflects its source as of the capture date shown in the registry.
- Weak sourcing — Data residency, Subprocessors, Legal entity. Not confirmed on the vendor’s own pages as captured.
- AI can misread a source. Extraction and judgement are automated; a citation guarantees traceability, not infallibility. If something here is wrong, say so — no account needed, every report is decided within 5 business days, and accepted corrections are published.
