Questions people ask
Is Yousign the same as Youtrust?
Yes. Yousign is rebranding as Youtrust, and its pricing page now loads at youtrust.com. The company says the new name reflects identity checks and electronic seals alongside signatures.
Is Yousign free?
There is a free plan with 2 signature requests a month and up to 5 signers per request, plus a 14-day free trial of paid plans.
Does Sign PDF offer qualified electronic signatures?
No. Sign PDF provides simple electronic signatures with strong evidence attached. For a QES under eIDAS, use a provider that sells them, such as Yousign. Ask a lawyer if you are unsure which level a document needs.
Is Sign PDF valid in the EU?
Yes, as a simple electronic signature. Article 25 of eIDAS says an electronic signature cannot be denied legal effect just because it is electronic. Some documents still need a qualified signature, ink or a notary. This is not legal advice.
Which is cheaper for unlimited documents?
Sign PDF Full is $10 a month for the whole account. Yousign's first unlimited plan, Plus, is shown at €23 a user a month on yearly billing.
