Best for central signatures for Microsoft and Google mail
Crossware manages email signatures centrally for Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Exchange and Domino, with rules by condition and directory data. It publishes no prices, and both the trial and the demo go through a request form.
Who Crossware is for
- Fits if you run Exchange or Domino and want signatures set centrally
- Works for IT admins who need signature rules that vary by department
Who Crossware is not for
- Skip it if you want to see a price first, as none is published
- Skip it if you want self-serve sign-up, because the trial and demo go through a form
- Watch out: the old crossware.com address no longer resolves, and the pages now live at crossware365.com
- Tight if you want a free plan, as there is only a 30-day trial
Why Crossware gets a 2.4
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyNo price is published; licensing is a subscription per user quoted through a sales manager, so it sits at C by default.
- CFree plan and trialA free 30-day trial with all features, requested through a form that asks for a phone number and user count; no card is mentioned and there is no free plan.
- BFeaturesA signature designer, rules by condition, directory data, department control and several mail platforms. Nothing in the listing is missing from the job.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record. You build the signature yourself and, for a team, connect a directory or collect the staff before it does anything.
- BPlatforms and integrationsA web console; the listing names Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Microsoft Exchange and HCL Domino.

Keep Crossware, or make your own?
Your call
You could make the core of Crossware for yourself: email signature and templates.
What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call.
What you could make
- Email signature and templates: an app builder makes these well.
- It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.
What you could not
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Crossware’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Crossware?
Crossware Mail Signature is a centrally managed email signature product sold to organizations. It works with Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Microsoft Exchange and HCL Domino, pulls each sender's details from the directory, and applies signatures by rule, such as internal versus external mail or new messages versus replies.
Worth knowing

- The old crossware.com address no longer resolves; the vendor's pages now live at crossware365.com.
- A trial and a demo are requested through a form that asks for a phone number and user count.
Key features
