  • 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 Skribble if

  • Fits if you need qualified signatures under EU or Swiss law
  • Works for teams that sign inside Word or SharePoint

Look elsewhere if

  • Pricey if you sign many documents at the advanced or qualified level, since Team includes 72 per user a year
  • Watch out: prices are in euros and exclude VAT
  • Tight if you want branding or single sign-on, which are extra on Pro
  • Skip it if you have more than 20 users, as Team stops there and Scale goes through sales
  • Skip it if you want an API on a cheaper plan, because it starts on Pro at EUR 36

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.
