Youtrust is a European digital trust platform designed to secure your contractual transactions from start to finish. It covers three levels of electronic signatures (simple, advanced, and qualified), identity verification, document verification, and bank account verification, as well as electronic seals—all in compliance with the eIDAS Regulation. You can use each module individually or integrate it into your tools via the web app, the API, or the Zapier and HubSpot connectors.
For an independent professional who has a few quotes signed each month, the free plan is often enough to get started. It allows you to sign your own documents without limits and to send two signature requests per month, with automatic reminders. SMEs will especially appreciate its robust guarantees: data hosted and processed in Europe, a time-stamped audit trail for each signature, and over 30,000 business customers, according to the provider. It’s a good option if the legal validity of your agreements matters to you as much as ease of use.
Complementary solutions to ensure the integrity of all your documents:
The gold standard in digital trust:
Strengthen your compliance and boost your conversions with all-in-one customer journeys:
YouTrust, still known to many as Yousign, is a European digital trust platform centered on legally binding electronic signatures. The tool allows users to send a document for remote signing in just a few minutes: the signer receives it via email and confirms their agreement using a code sent via text message, without having to download anything or create an account. In addition to this feature, a document editor lets users add fields to be filled out, and a library of reusable templates saves time for those who regularly send the same types of contracts.
Compliance is one of the cornerstones of the solution. YouTrust supports all three levels of digital signatures specified by the European eIDAS Regulation: simple, advanced, and qualified. The qualified signature has the same legal weight as a handwritten signature, which opens the door to the most binding legal acts. The entire system is hosted and processed in Europe, in compliance with the GDPR—a key consideration for organizations concerned about data sovereignty.
Beyond the signing process, the platform manages storage and legally binding archiving. The former functions as a digital safe where contracts can be stored; the latter generates a record of evidence attesting to the signer’s identity and the proper execution of the procedure, through a long-term archiving partnership. Validation workflows (signing order, automatic follow-ups, reminders, and assignment) make it possible to coordinate circuits involving multiple parties without having to manually follow up with each person.
Two additional building blocks round out this suite and reflect the brand’s stated ambition of “digital trust”. The electronic seal authenticates documents on behalf of the company rather than an individual. The Verify feature, accessible via the API, automates identity and compliance checks: verification of an ID, proof of address, an IBAN, or company information, which can be directly integrated into a sign-up journey. Finally, YouTrust is available both as a SaaS application usable from a browser and as an API designed to integrate with a CRM or ERP system, with its documentation regularly cited as a key strength compared to competitors.
YouTrust offers two distinct billing models: an application plan billed per user, and an API plan billed based on the volume of signatures. 💶 Here is the pricing table for the application plans, which cover the majority of everyday use cases.
| Offer | Rates | Key inclusions |
|---|---|---|
| Free | €0 per month per user | 2 signatures per month, 1 user, inbox, automatic reminders |
| One | €11 per month per user | 10 signatures per month, essential fields, custom logo, real-time tracking |
| More | €30 per month per user | Unlimited signatures, SMS authentication, approvers, Zapier and HubSpot integrations |
| Pro | €48 per month per user | Everything in the Plus plan, automated forms, document collection, phone support |
On the API side, there are two tiers, quoted for 500 signatures per month: the Plus plan at €104 per month (simple signature, unlimited sandbox and webhooks, email support) and the Pro plan at €129 per month (simple and advanced signature, customizable interface, phone support). The unit price decreases as volume increases. Please note: the advanced signature and the qualified signature are subscribed to as add-on modules from the Plus subscription onwards, an annual commitment reduces the monthly fee, and the 14-day free trial remains limited to the application. Remember to confirm the exact scope when subscribing, depending on your volume and signature level requirements.
1️⃣ If you are a freelancer or consultant:
For individual use—where signing often accompanies the sending of quotes and sales proposals— PandaDoc is worth checking out: the platform combines the drafting of sales documents, templates, and signing into a single workflow, eliminating the need to juggle multiple tools when you need to turn a proposal into a signed contract. If your priority is simplicity and a modest budget, Zoho Sign and SignNow offer effective e-signature solutions at a reasonable price; the former integrates seamlessly with the Zoho ecosystem if you’re already using it for your CRM or invoicing. Trainers and consultants who lead sessions would also be well-advised to check out Edusign, which was originally designed for attendance tracking and document management at training organizations, with legally binding document signing tailored to this specific need.
2️⃣ If you're a startup:
Growth requires tools that integrate easily with your tech stack. DocuSign remains the industry standard thanks to its extensive catalog of integrations and robust performance—a reassuring choice when your key account contacts are already familiar with the solution. PandaDoc proves invaluable for sales teams in the early stages of building their operations, as it connects proposal creation, open tracking, and signing to your CRM. To go beyond just signing, Contractbook manages the entire contract lifecycle—from automated generation to centralized storage and expiration reminders—which helps minimize document backlog when volumes skyrocket.
3️⃣ If you are a very small business or an SME:
Established organizations prioritize compliance and the management of processes shared among multiple employees. Signaturit, a European company based in Barcelona, excels in handling demanding regulatory workflows and cross-border qualified signatures—a key advantage for industries such as insurance, real estate, and financial services. DocuSign is well-suited for teams seeking a proven, well-documented solution with granular access controls to manage who signs what. Finally, Contractbook offers a collaborative approach to contract management—including centralized document storage, approval workflows, and version tracking—which is particularly useful when multiple departments handle the same contracts.
Otherwise, these other software programs may also be a good alternative to Youtrust (formerly Yousign).No resources currently available.
