Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 19 of the 78 other e-signature and proposal tools we grade
Signicat is a European digital identity provider whose electronic signing products cover simple, advanced and qualified signatures under eIDAS. Companies can embed signing into their own systems through an API or use the Dokobit-branded self-service portal. Signatures are tied to eID methods such as BankID, MitID and Smart-ID.
To get you started, here are 7 things to know about Signicat, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No prices are published, the API suits developers more than occasional signers, and detailed rates sit behind an account.

Keep it
To replace Signicat you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.

The report card
Best for developers embedding signing in a digital identity stack
Signicat is a digital identity platform with an e-signature API that covers all three eIDAS signature levels. No prices are published, the API suits developers more than occasional signers, and detailed rates sit behind an account.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | C | No prices are published; fees combine setup, subscription and transaction charges quoted through a form. |
| Free plan and trial | F | No free plan or trial on record; per-method prices sit behind a free dashboard account. |
| Features | B | Signing API at all three eIDAS levels with eID-based signer identity, forwarding and evidence management. The listing shows no gap in the core work. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. It is an API, so someone has to build the integration. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web and an API, with Salesforce, Okta, ForgeRock, Curity and Cryptshare connections. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
Who Signicat is for
- Fits if you are building signing into your own product and need eIDAS levels
- Works for firms that also need eID-based identity checks
Who it is not for
- 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
Good to know
Good for
- Banks and insurers embedding signing in onboarding flows
- Companies in the Nordics, DACH and Benelux that rely on national eIDs
- Developers who want to test through a free sandbox account
Worth knowing
- 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.

Where it stands
Its grades against its category, and whether to keep it or make your own
19/78
Other e-signature and proposal tools it is graded above
Signicat's GPA of 2.0 is higher than 19 of the 78 other e-signature and proposal tools we grade, and level with 18.
It stands best on features (B, above 57 of 78) and worst on free plan and trial (F, above 0).
Each grade against the category
Every bar is all 79 e-signature and proposal tools we grade, cut by the letter each got. Signicat’s own letter is outlined.

- CEase of useAbove 3 of 78
- BPlatforms and integrationsAbove 12 of 78
Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
To replace Signicat you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 41 of the 78 other e-signature and proposal tools grade higher.
What you could make
- Documents: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Signicat’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.
