Legalesign vs Youtrust (Yousign) (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Legalesign if

• Fits if you need witnessed or qualified signatures and work with UK or European paperwork
• Works for a single user who wants to pay per document with no subscription

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you want witnessing or qualified signatures, which need Solo Pro at £25 a month
• Skip it if you want dollar prices: the page shows pounds ex VAT and we couldn't read the dollar amounts
• Watch out: Solo plans have a fair-use limit of 20 or 100 documents a month
• Watch out: the page doesn't say whether the monthly price is billed monthly or yearly
• Not for you if you want a free plan, as the entry is a 14-day trial

Pick Youtrust (Yousign) if

• Fits if you sign under European rules and need identity checks tied to the signature
• Works for a small team that wants unlimited simple signatures at Plus

Look elsewhere if

• Tight if you stay free: 1 user and 2 requests a month
• Tight if you're on One, which caps you at 10 requests a month
• Pricey if you need advanced or qualified signatures, as qualified starts at €10 each and identity checks cost extra
• Watch out: the API is a separate product from about €106 a month, and the page now carries the Youtrust name
• Skip it if you want dollar prices, as the page shows euros excluding VAT

Legalesign

Electronic signatures

Documents are prepared, sent, signed and tracked in a web app. Every plan lists advanced electronic signatures, and qualified signatures start on Solo Pro.

Forms and data collection

Forms collect the details a workflow needs, with text tags and PDF field import for building templates.

Online witnessing

Agreements can be witnessed remotely. The pricing table lists witnessing from Solo Pro upward.

Bulk send and self-service links

Personalised agreements can go to many recipients at once, or recipients can start a signing themselves from a link.

API and components

A REST and GraphQL API, webhooks and embeddable components add signing to your own software. API access is on every plan.

Workflow automation

Batch documents and saved workflows chain several signing steps together, with integrations to Salesforce and Microsoft Power Automate.

Youtrust (Yousign)

Three signature levels

Simple signatures are included. Advanced signatures are an extra on Plus and Pro, and qualified signatures start from €10 each.

Identity and document checks

Identity, company and bank account verification are sold as add-ons, alongside document fraud detection and watchlist screening.

Templates and approvals

From Plus, signature requests can be built from templates and routed through an internal approval step before they are sent.

Workspaces and permissions

Workspaces keep documents separate between teams. Plans include roles and permissions, and SSO and SCIM are extras on Pro.

Audit trail

Each signature produces a time-stamped evidence file in PDF that the vendor says is archived for 10 years.

API and integrations

Zapier and HubSpot connectors come with Plus, and a separate API product with its own pricing exists for developers.
