Dokobit vs Penneo (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Dokobit if

• Fits if you sign with people who have European or Baltic eIDs
• Works for small teams that sign 20 or fewer documents a month

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free, since 3 signatures a month is the cap
• Pricey if you go past your allowance, at €0.44 per qualified signature on Professional
• Watch out: the document owner pays for every signer, so costs rise with the people you send to
• Watch out: prices exclude VAT, are shown for the Baltics and change by region
• Skip it if you need advanced liability validations or SMS, which Professional lacks

Pick Penneo if

• Fits if you are an accounting or audit firm in the Nordics
• Makes sense if clients sign with MitID or other national eIDs

Look elsewhere if

• Pricey if you sign under 500 a year, as the listed prices assume 500 signatures
• Watch out: prices are in kroner, with euro and Norwegian versions for other countries
• Tight if you want the API or a priority support line, which are Sign Pro only
• Watch out: the Caseware integration costs DKK 10 per CVR, minimum DKK 500 a month
• Skip it if you are outside Europe, since it is built around national eIDs
