Why teams choose Asignu instead of Dropbox Sign

01

Unlimited Advanced Electronic Signatures

Dropbox Sign is built around simple, everyday e-signing rather than eIDAS-specific signature levels. When a workflow requires stronger signer authentication, Advanced Electronic Signatures become important.

Asignu includes unlimited AES usage within every regular subscription. This makes costs easier to predict for HR, finance, legal and operational teams that use stronger signatures regularly.

02

Built around European requirements

Asignu is an EU-based provider with European hosting and support that understands eIDAS and European signing requirements.

Dropbox Sign is a US-based product without a clearly published EU hosting option, which can matter for teams with strict European data-residency needs.

03

Predictable per-invitation pricing for growing teams

Dropbox Sign’s paid plans are priced per user with unlimited signature requests, which works well for solo users.

Asignu’s invitation-based plans give document-heavy teams a clear, scalable structure as volume and user count grow, without needing a single named user per licence.

When Dropbox Sign may be the better fit

Dropbox Sign may be the better option for very small teams or individuals who mainly need a simple, low-cost signing tool.

Free plan for very light use

Dropbox Sign offers a free plan for occasional signers who only need a handful of signature requests per month.

Simple, per-user pricing

For solo professionals and freelancers, Dropbox Sign’s flat per-user pricing with unlimited requests can be an easy, low-commitment starting point.

Native Dropbox integration

Teams already standardised on Dropbox for file storage may value the tight integration between the two products.
