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

Pick Scrive if

• Fits if you sign with Nordic or European eIDs and need an evidence package
• Works for a small team on yearly billing

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: BankID and other eIDs, SMS and the forms builder are paid add-ons
• Skip it if you want dollar prices, as the English pages show euros only
• Tight if you test it: the trial covers 10 documents for 14 days
• Watch out: the eSign API, eID Hub and ID Check are priced separately
• Pricey if you need Business features, at €49 a user

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

Scrive

• Prices on the English pages are in euros; a US dollar price list was not found.
• BankID and other eID options, SMS authentication and the forms builder are add-ons with extra fees on Business.
• Per-user prices are billed annually, and the free trial covers 10 documents for 14 days.
• The eSign API, eID Hub and ID Check are priced separately and were not recorded as plans.

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.
