Yousign alternative: when signing is not enough, Docform manages the whole contract
Yousign, now Youtrust, is an electronic signature tool. But a contract starts long before the signature and goes on long after. Docform builds the signature into the full lifecycle: templates, approval, negotiation, deadline tracking.
Request a demoIn short : Yousign
Yousign is a French e-signature vendor, rebranded as Youtrust. Its digital trust platform combines e-signature (eIDAS advanced and qualified levels), identity verification and electronic seals. Prices are public: from €9 excl. VAT per month (One plan, one user), per-user plans from €23 excl. VAT per month, and a limited free plan. The vendor reports more than 30,000 customer companies in Europe and offers Zapier, Salesforce and HubSpot integrations as well as an API.
What it does well
- A simple e-signature, quick to roll out, at advanced and qualified levels.
- Public prices and a limited free plan.
- Identity verification and electronic seals for regulated sectors.
- An API and a developer center to embed signature in your own tools.
What to check before choosing
- Yousign is not a CLM: contract templates, approval workflows, negotiation and deadline tracking are not described on the public site.
- Signed contracts still have to be filed, tracked and followed up elsewhere: the repository remains to be built.
- Pricing is per user; compare it with the number of people who sign or send for signature.
What Docform brings
- The whole contract, not only its signature: drafting from approved templates, approval workflows, negotiation, then tracking of notice periods and renewals.
- A built-in eIDAS-compliant e-signature, with one-time code and optional Certigna seal, without a separate subscription.
- A repository with AI extraction of key dates and alerts at D-90, D-60, D-30.
- Docform signs natively; a DocuSign connection is in preparation.
