Worth knowing
Dokobit
- Prices are in euros, exclude VAT, and the page shows a region selector; the figures here are the Baltics view.
- Signatures beyond a plan's monthly free allowance are charged per signature, and the document owner pays for every signer.
- Enterprise is shown at €25 per user a month but is bought through sales.
- Advanced liability validations and SMS services are not on the Professional plan.
Signicat
- No prices are published: the pricing page asks for a form and a quote, and says fees combine setup, subscription and transaction charges.
- Detailed per-method transaction prices sit behind a free Signicat Dashboard account.
- Signicat is mainly an identity platform, so signing is one of many products and the API suits developers more than occasional signers.
- The self-service portal for individuals and teams has its own public prices under the Dokobit name.

More comparisons
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.
