Youtrust alternative
A Youtrust alternative for small firms in the EU
Youtrust, formerly Yousign, is an EU e-signature product that added identity and business verification. Braigest starts earlier with an intake form built from your own PDF and documents filled from the answers, and ends later with a review desk and delivery, priced from 29 euro a month for the whole flow.
- Starts at the intake form, not just the signature
- One flow priced from 29 euro a month, not per seat
- Youtrust is still the stronger pick for high-volume signing alone
What does Youtrust do well
Youtrust, the product formerly known as Yousign, is a mature EU e-signature platform built to sign at volume across many countries and languages, and it has added identity and business verification alongside signing. For a team whose main need is getting documents signed reliably, in bulk, across a wide range of locales, Youtrust's depth on the signature side itself is a real strength.
- E-signature built for volume across many countries
- Identity and business verification added to the signing flow
- Broad language coverage
What Braigest does differently
Braigest starts before a document exists to sign: a client fills a guided form built from the PDF your firm already uses, and that same PDF is filled back from their answers. Signature is one step near the end of that flow rather than the product's whole purpose, and the case continues past signing into a review desk and delivery of the finished pack to your systems.
How does the signature itself compare
Braigest applies an advanced electronic signature with a native PAdES seal across the whole document pack in one step, with an evidence page recording consent, device, identity method and reviewer decisions. It does not offer a qualified electronic signature under eIDAS. Youtrust, at higher tiers, can offer qualified signature levels for documents that specifically require one, which is a real difference worth checking against your own document types.
When to stay with Youtrust
If signing alone, at high volume, across many countries and languages, is most of what your onboarding needs, or if some of your documents legally require a qualified electronic signature, Youtrust's depth on signing is the better match. Braigest is built around the whole onboarding case, not signature volume on its own.
What does switching look like
Bring the intake form or PDF you currently send a client before the signature step. Braigest turns it into a guided form, fills documents from the answers, and adds identity or screening steps where the flow needs them, with the same native signature sealing the pack at the end. Anything requiring a qualified signature specifically stays on a qualified signing path.
Which plan fits
Braigest plans start at 29 euro a month for Solo, covering the whole flow rather than pricing signing by seat or by envelope. Practice is 149 euro a month, Firm is 499, and Enterprise is priced on request. Compare that against the Youtrust tier your team would need for its signing volume and whether qualified signatures are required.
