Skribble

Skribble is digital signature software for individuals and organisations that need different levels of electronic signature. It suits solo professionals through larger teams, especially where EU or Swiss signature standards matter. Its strongest advantage is that range; the trade-off is that paid plans cap users and charge for some signature volumes.

Overview

Skribble supports simple, advanced and qualified electronic signatures, and says they meet EU eIDAS and Swiss ZertES requirements. Identity verification is supported. Invitees can sign from a smartphone or computer without a Skribble account, reducing friction for people who only need to sign. Bulk sending and audit trails are also available, with audit logs retained for 10 years.

The platform and associated data are hosted in Switzerland across two geo-redundant Tier IV data centres. Skribble says it is GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified, uses unique AES-256 keys for documents and TLS 1.2 or higher in transit, and conducts regular vulnerability scans and annual penetration tests. These safeguards make it a credible candidate for sensitive workflows, though organisations should still assess their own compliance needs.

Key features

Signing order is available on Starter and Team, so even a solo user can set the sequence for multi-signer documents. Team adds attachments, observers, signature protocols and reminders, which are useful when a team needs to coordinate a more involved signing process. Templates are not included, so buyers who depend on reusable forms should factor in that limitation.

Pro includes API access and integrations with Word, Excel, OneDrive, SharePoint Online, Google Drive, Power Automate and Zapier, as well as industry solutions. Skribble also offers an open REST API for custom integrations, with documentation and a demo account for testing. This makes Pro more compelling for organisations connecting signatures to existing systems than for small teams with occasional, standalone signing needs.

Pricing

Starter is free for one user, but charges per e-signature: €1 for SES, €3 for AES and €5 for QES. That makes it a low-commitment way for an individual or self-employed professional to try the service, but costs can rise with frequent use or a preference for higher signature levels.

Team costs €23.00 per month, billed €276 yearly; the page also shows €348. It supports up to 20 users, includes unlimited SES and allows 72 AES and/or QES signatures per user per year. Extra AES signatures cost €2.50 and extra QES signatures €4.50. Team is the practical step up for a small organisation that needs shared workflows, but the per-user quota and overage rates deserve attention before committing.

Pro costs €36.00 per month, billed €432 yearly; the page also shows €588. It supports up to 20 users, includes unlimited SES and 120 AES and/or QES signatures per user per year, and adds API access and the listed integrations. Extra AES signatures cost €2 and extra QES signatures €4. The larger quota and lower overage rates suit teams with more regular advanced or qualified signing, while the user ceiling may rule it out for larger organisations.

Scale has custom pricing for organisations with more than 20 users or high signing volumes. It includes prioritised customer service and phone support. Team and Pro list a contact form, Help Center and administrator guide. A 14-day trial provides all Pro features for unlimited users without a credit card, giving larger teams a way to assess the upper-tier workflow before choosing a plan.

Platforms

Skribble supports Android, iOS, web and API access. The smartphone and computer signing options cover recipients who do not use Skribble accounts; API access and the integrations on Pro serve organisations that need to connect signing to other tools.

Who it's for

Starter is aimed at individual users and self-employed professionals who sign occasionally and can accept per-signature fees. Team fits groups that need signing order and coordination features, while Pro is the better fit when higher AES or QES volume, API access or integrations justify its higher price. Scale targets bigger teams with high signing volumes. Skribble is less suitable for buyers who need included templates or whose team exceeds 20 users without moving to custom pricing.

Pros and cons

Pros: Simple, advanced and qualified signatures support different signing requirements; recipients can sign without accounts; and the platform combines bulk sending, identity verification and long-retained audit logs.

Pros: Pro offers a REST API and a broad set of named integrations, while the 14-day trial includes Pro features for unlimited users without a credit card.

Cons: Starter charges for every signature, including €5 for each QES, so it can become expensive for regular or higher-assurance use.

Cons: Team and Pro cap accounts at 20 users and impose annual AES/QES allowances; extra signatures are charged separately.

Cons: No templates are included, and Team and Pro do not list phone support.

Alternatives

E-Signature Software and Electronic Signature Software are useful category lists for comparing options; Digital Signature API Software is the more focused starting point for API-led requirements.

PandaDoc is worth comparing if a free plan with a yearly 60-document allowance and up to two recipients per document better matches your volume. Dropbox Sign API is a fit for API development and testing, with a free package capped at three signature requests per month. OpenSign is the alternative to consider if self-hosting or desktop operating-system support matters, and its free plan includes unlimited digital signatures and templates.

BoldSign offers a free Essential plan for one user with 25 envelopes per month and two templates, which may suit a solo user who wants a defined monthly allowance. Signeasy has a Personal plan at $10 a month, billed $120 yearly, with one user, five monthly contracts sent for signature and unlimited signing. Xodo Sign has a free plan with one document per week, one signer and one seat, making it an option for very light use.

Adobe Scan is a mobile-only alternative for readers comparing a free-to-download scanning app with an Acrobat Pro trial. Signater has a free plan with three envelopes per month, one user and up to three signers per envelope, which may fit low-volume signing better than Skribble's per-signature Starter charges.

Verdict

Choose Skribble if you need simple, advanced and qualified signatures in one service, particularly under EU or Swiss requirements, and value account-free signing and API options. Look elsewhere if you need included templates, a larger fixed seat allowance, or predictable high-volume costs without per-signature overages.
