Yousign alternative with AES and identity checks inside the plan

Yousign became Youtrust in July 2026; yousign.com redirects there. Its pricing page (2026-09-20) lists a Free plan with 2 signature requests a month, One, a single-user plan with 10 requests a month, at €9, and Plus at €23 and Pro at €38, both per user, in euros for the EU market. Signature level, identity verification and the API are bought around those plans. It suits a buyer who wants to choose each piece and price each one separately.

Three things sit outside a Youtrust plan (pricing page, 2026-09-20): the advanced signature, an add-on sold on yearly billing only; identity verification, a separate product; the API, on its own list from €104 a month. Chaindoc includes a Sumsub identity check in every paid plan, one a month on Personal (€9), five on Team (€19), ten on Business (€29), all billed monthly, delivers AES within every plan and issues API keys on Business. Stripe payment rides on the paid plans as well.

Every document completed in Chaindoc leaves two marks on the public SKALE network: a SHA-256 hash of the file, recorded at publication and at the final signature. An event log runs beside them, each entry hashing the one before. The verification report prints the hash and the transaction link, so a counterparty can hash their own copy and check the chain's record without asking Chaindoc. How far that carries in a dispute is the court's call. Youtrust's plans list no blockchain anchoring.

eIDAS Article 25 bars refusing an electronic signature legal effect for being electronic. Article 26 sets the advanced level, AES: the signature belongs to one signer, identifies that signer, is under their sole control and shows any later change. Chaindoc's signatures are AES; it holds no qualified trust service provider status, so where a statute insists on a qualified signature (QES), another tool signs it. Youtrust sells AES and QES as add-ons; its trust-service status can be checked on the EU Trusted List.
