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

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

Pick Signicat if

• Fits if you are building signing into your own product and need eIDAS levels
• Works for firms that also need eID-based identity checks

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you just want to send a few documents, as the API suits developers
• Skip it if you need prices up front, since none are published
• Pricey if you expect a simple bill: fees combine setup, subscription and transaction charges
• Watch out: individuals and small teams are pointed to its self-service portal, which is sold as Dokobit

Penneo

• Prices are shown in DKK for Denmark, with EUR and Norwegian versions for other countries, not in US dollars.
• Listed prices are based on a reference volume of 500 signatures a year; you are invoiced yearly for actual usage.
• Caseware integration carries a fee of DKK 10 per CVR, with a minimum of DKK 500 a month.
• API access and a dedicated support line are Sign Pro features.

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.

Penneo
