Why organisations choose Scrive

1. Secure digital agreements with compliance built in

Scrive is purpose-built for legally binding digital agreements that meet regulatory requirements across Europe. Its e-signature solution supports the full range of eIDAS signature levels, from Simple Electronic Signatures (SES) to Advanced and Qualified Electronic Signatures (AES & QES), all deeply embedded in the platform. This makes Scrive ideal for regulated industries that need audit trails and legal certainty.

Signicat also supports eIDAS signature types and integration via its signing APIs, but within a wider identity and trust service platform rather than a dedicated eSignature workflow.

2. Integrated identity verification focused on signing and beyond

Scrive provides identity verification and authentication inside and outside signing flows, supporting multiple national eIDs and independent verification methods to validate signer identities – whether for signing, secure user login, KYC, age checks, or authentication.

Signicat’s strength is in broad pan-European identity orchestration, covering onboarding, login, biometric and document verification, authentication, and identity lifecycle management, a wider identity use case beyond signing alone.

3. Flexible integrations for operational workflows

Scrive offers flexible APIs and integrations that embed e-signing and identity verification across a range of operational workflows, from HR and finance systems to regulated processes and embedded signing experiences.

Signicat’s platform also offers extensive APIs, but its scope spans identity hubs, trust orchestration, authentication vaults, and risk workflows in addition to electronic signing, making it a broader identity platform.

4. Regulatory confidence and evidence for audit-ready agreements

Scrive delivers audit trails, evidence records, and compliance features suitable for enterprises operating in regulated industries such as finance, public sector, healthcare, and legal services.

Signicat likewise brings strong compliance credentials, including eIDAS QTSP (Qualified Trust Service Provider) and broad support for European identity methods and regulations – making both platforms viable for regulated use cases.

“The only thing I don't like is that Scrive isn't mentioned in the same breath as other big names in the scene. Although, in my opinion, Scrive is just as good.”
