Dokobit

Dokobit is an electronic-signature service for individuals and organisations that use eIDs to sign documents and coordinate signing workflows. It is best suited to EU-focused teams that need both document management and API-based signing; occasional users can start free, while computer signers must account for a browser extension and token drivers.

Overview

Dokobit supports PDF, ASiC-E and Baltic BDoc, EDoc and ADoc files. Signers can use national ID cards, Mobile ID, Smart-ID and other supported eID methods. The company says its supported electronic signatures are legally binding and accepted across the EU, a useful fit for processes built around those identity methods.

Signing is sequential, and the portal includes signature validation, search and filtering, contact categories, comments, batch actions, secure sharing, notifications and an audit trail. This breadth helps teams manage documents around the signature itself, though a reader who only needs to send a simple request may find the workflow tools unnecessary.

Key features

Business features add document workflows, shared resources, user and data management, branded signing and centralised billing. These make Dokobit more compelling for organisations coordinating repeat signing processes than for a solo user with occasional paperwork.

Its APIs support signature collection, signing, archiving, timestamping, validation, user identification and document sealing. The API supports eIDs including national ID cards, Mobile ID, Smart-ID, BankID, MitID, iDIN, itsme, Swisscom, Estonian e-Residency and others. That range is valuable when building signing into a broader service, rather than relying only on the portal.

Dokobit says its operations comply with ISO/IEC 27001 and its information security management system is certified to ISO/IEC 27018:2019. It processes customer data within the EU/EEA and encrypts it using TLS and AES-256. Its compliance page gives 99.95% monthly uptime availability, a one-hour recovery point objective and a two-hour recovery time objective.

The mobile app provides portal features on the go and instant document notifications. On computers, signing requires a browser extension plus smart-card or USB-token drivers; Safari is not supported for e-signing. These requirements make device setup an important consideration for users who depend on card or token signing.

Pricing

The Free plan costs nothing, billed free forever. It includes 3 signatures and 3 basic liability document validations per month, with 100 MB of storage. That is a practical starting point for light use, but the monthly quotas and small storage allowance make it a poor fit for regular team workflows.

Professional costs €10 a month, billed per user/month. It includes the first 20 signatures and 20 basic liability validations every month for free, plus unlimited storage. Business costs €22 a month, billed per user/month, and raises those included monthly amounts to 30 signatures and 30 basic liability validations; it also includes unlimited storage. The higher tier is suited to teams that need the additional monthly headroom and business workflow features, while Professional keeps costs lower for smaller workloads.

Enterprise costs €25 a month, billed per user/month, with pay-as-you-go signatures and advanced or premium liability validations, plus unlimited storage. Its usage-based charges suit organisations whose needs exceed the included quotas or require advanced or premium validation, but the per-user fee remains part of the cost.

Platforms

Dokobit supports Android, iOS, Linux, macOS, Windows, web, an extension and API access. The computer signing workflow’s extension and smart-card or USB-token drivers, along with the lack of Safari support for e-signing, may constrain some desktop setups.

Who it's for

Dokobit is a strong fit for organisations signing EU-oriented documents with eIDs, managing sequential approvals or incorporating signing and validation into their own systems. Its audit trail, team controls, security measures and stated service-availability targets also suit teams with ongoing document processes. It is less compelling for people who need only a few basic signature requests and do not need eID methods or team workflow tools.

Pros and cons

Pros: Broad document-format and eID support makes it useful for EU-focused signing processes.

Pros: Audit trails, document tools and business workflow features support coordinated, repeat work.

Pros: APIs cover signing through archiving, validation and document sealing, with identity and timestamping capabilities.

Cons: The Free plan is capped at 3 signatures, 3 basic liability validations and 100 MB of storage each month.

Cons: Computer signing requires an extension and smart-card or USB-token drivers, and Safari is not supported for e-signing.

Cons: Paid plans charge per user, so costs rise with team size even when signing volume is modest.

Alternatives

Compare electronic signature software if you want to weigh Dokobit against a broader set of signing services.

Signaturely is worth considering for a simpler, low-volume option: its Free plan allows 1 document or signature request per month and includes audit trail and history.

Certinal may suit organisations focused on clinical and data-processing consent, multi-channel capture and EMR-native integration.

Dropbox Sign offers a free allowance of 3 signature requests per month and may suit readers comparing a similarly sized free monthly request quota.

Xodo Sign is another option with a Free plan capped at up to 3 documents per month; its API Sandbox includes 2 production API documents.

Leegality has a Basic Plan priced at ₹15 a month, charges only for successful eSigns and requires a minimum purchase of INR 100 eSign Credits.

Skribble has a free Starter plan for 1 user with pay-per-e-signature pricing, which may appeal to solo users who prefer to pay by signature.

OpenSign is an alternative to consider if you want a self-hosted option.

Secured Signing is another electronic-signature service to compare.

Verdict

Choose Dokobit if your signing process depends on supported eIDs, EU-oriented acceptance and managed document workflows, or if you need API capabilities beyond collecting a signature. Its free tier is a useful way to begin, but the tight monthly caps, per-user paid pricing and computer setup requirements are reasons to look elsewhere for lightweight signing or frictionless desktop use.
