Swedish e-signing pioneer with a strong evidence package and operations within the EU, with a sovereignty option at Swedish Cleura – though BankID signing requires the pricier Business plan and is not part of the entry plan.
Best for: Swedish companies that want legally robust e-signing with BankID and EU data storage, and that can justify the Business plan price.
Pros
- Swedish company with data stored within the EU/EEA, Extended Compliance operations at Swedish Cleura
- ISO 27001:2022 certified with strong evidence package for every signed document
- Broad support for Nordic eIDs such as BankID and MitID
- Unlimited documents even in the Essential entry plan (approx. 21 €/user/month)
Cons
- BankID and other eID methods require the Business plan at 49 €/user/month, so the entry plan rarely suffices for Swedish needs
- Annual billing is required for the advertised prices
- Standard platform runs on AWS (American cloud provider), and sovereign operations require the more expensive Extended Compliance
- Majority-owned by British venture capital firm Vitruvian Partners since 2020: Swedish company, but the owner is outside the EU
