Skribble

Skribble is digital-signature software for signing documents with simple, advanced and qualified electronic signatures. It suits individuals and organisations that need those signature levels, particularly under EU or Swiss rules. Its range of signing options and workflow controls is balanced by per-signature charges on Starter and user caps on paid plans.

Overview

Skribble says its signatures meet EU eIDAS and Swiss ZertES requirements, and identity verification is supported. Recipients can sign on a smartphone or computer without a Skribble account, reducing friction for people who only need to complete a document. Bulk sending and audit trails support repeatable processes; audit logs are retained for 10 years.

Skribble says it is GDPR compliant and ISO 27001 certified. Documents use unique AES-256 keys, data in transit uses TLS 1.2 or higher, and the company conducts regular vulnerability scans and annual penetration tests. The platform and associated data are hosted in Switzerland across two geo-redundant Tier IV data centres. These safeguards may matter to organisations with security and data-location requirements, though they do not replace an organisation’s own compliance assessment.

Key features

Signing order is available on Starter and Team, letting senders set the sequence when several people need to sign. Team adds attachments, observers, signature protocols and reminders, making it better suited to coordinated workflows than a basic signing process. The plans include no templates, a meaningful drawback for teams that depend on reusable document forms.

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, documentation and a demo account for testing custom integrations. These options make Pro more compelling for businesses connecting signing to existing systems; buyers who need only occasional standalone signatures may not benefit from paying for them.

Pricing

Starter is free for one user, but charges per signature: SES costs €1, AES €3 and QES €5. It includes signing order, making it a practical starting point for an individual or self-employed professional with modest volume. The trade-off is that costs rise with each signature, and there are no included templates.

Team costs €23.00 per month, billed at €276 yearly (the pricing page also shows €348). It supports up to 20 users, unlimited SES and 72 AES and/or QES per user per year; extra AES costs €2.50 and extra QES €4. Team is the step up for groups needing shared workflows, reminders and signature protocols, but its annual allowance applies to advanced and qualified signatures rather than removing all volume limits.

Pro costs €36.00 per month, billed at €432 yearly (the pricing page also shows €588). It allows up to 20 users, includes unlimited SES and 120 AES and/or QES per user per year, and adds API access and integrations. Extra AES costs €2 and extra QES €4. The larger allowance and system connections suit heavier or more integrated use, though the 20-user ceiling remains.

Scale uses custom pricing and is aimed at organisations with more than 20 users or high signing volumes. It includes prioritized customer service and phone support. Team and Pro offer a contact form, Help Center and administrator guide. A 14-day trial includes all Pro features and unlimited users, with no credit card required; this gives larger teams a chance to assess the workflow before choosing a plan.

Platforms

Skribble supports web, Android and iOS, and offers an API. That combination covers browser-based administration, mobile signing and custom integrations.

Who it's for

Starter is best for an individual or self-employed professional who wants to send occasional documents and can accept per-signature fees. Team fits groups of up to 20 that need signing order and coordinated workflows, while Pro is the stronger choice for teams that need integrations, API access or a larger annual AES/QES allowance. Organisations above that size or with high signing volume should consider Scale; those seeking included templates should look elsewhere.

Pros and cons

• Pros: Simple, advanced and qualified signatures are supported, with stated alignment to EU eIDAS and Swiss ZertES requirements.
• Pros: Recipients can sign without an account, while bulk sending and 10-year audit-log retention support repeat business processes.
• Pros: Pro combines a REST API with integrations across common office, storage and automation tools.
• Cons: Starter charges for every signature, so frequent use can become costly compared with a plan that bundles signature volume.
• Cons: Team and Pro cap accounts at 20 users, and their AES/QES allowances are annual per-user quotas.
• Cons: No plan includes templates, limiting the appeal for teams that rely on reusable forms.

Alternatives

OpenSign is worth considering if unlimited digital signatures and templates on a free plan matter more than Skribble’s stated EU and Swiss signature standards; it also offers self-hosted and desktop platforms.

PandaDoc may suit readers who prefer a free plan with a stated allowance of 60 documents per year and up to two recipients per document. Dropbox Sign API is another API-focused option, with a free package capped at three signature requests per month and a paid Essentials plan priced at $75.00 per month.

Signater, Xodo Sign, BoldSign, PearSign and Documenso are additional electronic-signature options to compare.

Verdict

Choose Skribble if your signing process needs simple, advanced or qualified signatures, account-free recipients and auditable workflows, especially under EU or Swiss requirements. Its tiered plans give individuals and teams distinct routes, while Pro adds useful integration options. Look elsewhere if included templates are essential, if Starter’s per-signature pricing does not suit your volume, or if a team needs more than 20 users without moving to custom-priced Scale.
