Which one is for you

Pick CodeTwo if

  • Fits if your company is on Microsoft 365 and wants signatures on mail sent from phones
  • Works for IT teams that also set company-wide out-of-office replies

Look elsewhere if

  • Skip it if you're on Google Workspace, which its product page doesn't mention
  • Not for you if you want a free plan, as there's only the 14-day trial
  • Watch out: we couldn't confirm a price, because CodeTwo's site turned our reader away with a bot check
  • Watch out: it's managed in a browser console, with no app beyond the Outlook add-in

Pick Opensense if

  • Fits if you're a large organization that wants IT-controlled signatures on Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or Exchange
  • Works for US government contractors on Microsoft's GCC High cloud

Look elsewhere if

  • Not for you if you're a small company: every plan has a $500 monthly minimum
  • Watch out: every plan also needs a service plan whose price isn't on the pricing page
  • Skip it if you want to try it without a sales call, as trials go only to accounts qualified through a demo
  • Pricey if you want email tracking too, which is a separate line of plans from $20 to $65 a user a month
  • Watch out: GCC High costs $2 more a user a month, and account and deal-stage targeting need Complete at $5

How we grade them

2.0GPACodeTwoFair2.2GPAOpensenseFair
Value for money
CNo price is on record. CodeTwo's pricing page turned our reader away with a bot check, so the listing holds no figure to set against this category's middle of $2.33 a month, and a tool with no price we could read sits at C.
D$1 a user a month on paper, but every plan has a $500 monthly minimum plus a service plan with no published price. One person pays the same $500 a month, and a team of five at least $100 a head, deep in this category's dearest tenth; a success manager and 24/7 phone support are included.
Free plan and trial
CNo free plan, only a 14-day trial with no credit card needed.
DNo free plan. Trials go only to accounts Opensense qualifies through a demo, and it says a small company is better served by a free generator.
Features
CCloud and Outlook signatures, Entra ID rules, company-wide autoreplies, banner campaigns and one-click surveys. It does that job fully, but only for Microsoft 365: its product page doesn't mention Google Workspace.
ADeployment by transport rule or add-in, directory and HR sync, banner A/B tests, impressions and clicks per recipient, and CRM targeting by account or deal stage. It's the only listing here on Microsoft's GCC High cloud, at $2 more per user.
Ease of use
CNo app store rating on record. An admin sets it up in a browser console and rolls the Outlook add-in out from the Microsoft 365 admin center, with rules built on Entra ID fields.
CNo app store rating on record. Deployment goes by transport rule, Outlook add-in or both, which an IT team sets up with the success manager every plan includes.
Platforms and integrations

Key features

CodeTwo

Cloud and Outlook signatures
Signatures are added in the cloud after sending, so mail from any client or phone gets one, or by an Outlook add-in as people type. Either mode or both can be used.
Outlook add-in deployed centrally
The Outlook add-in, which runs in Outlook on Windows, Mac, the web, iOS and Android, is rolled out from the Microsoft 365 admin center with no install by staff.
Entra ID placeholders and rules
Signatures pull names, titles and photos from Microsoft Entra ID, and rules pick a signature by sender, recipient or user attributes.
Organization-wide autoreplies
Sets company-wide automatic replies and out-of-office messages from the same browser console.
Campaigns and surveys
Schedule marketing banners with tagged links for web analytics, and add one-click customer satisfaction surveys to signatures.
Data kept in Azure regions
Mail is relayed through Azure-hosted services, and settings can be kept in a chosen Azure region; CodeTwo says it does not store emails.

Opensense

Central deployment
Signatures are pushed by transport rule, Outlook add-in or both, with in-client previews, and work in Outlook, Gmail and Apple Mail on desktop and mobile.

Recipient-level insights
Reports deliveries, impressions and clicks on banners per recipient and per employee.

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
