Yousign (now Youtrust) vs DocuSign

The short answer

For a European small business, Youtrust is usually cheaper, sends unlimited simple signatures on its Plus plan and sells qualified signatures per use. DocuSign covers more languages and more countries, offers mobile apps for sending, and has the larger integration catalog, at a higher price per user and with an envelope allowance.

Youtrust and DocuSign side by side

Figures come from Youtrust's application and API pricing pages, help center and developer docs, and DocuSign's eSignature, QES, mobile and languages pages, read on November 5, 2026.

What five people pay

Five users on Youtrust Plus are €115 a month billed yearly, or €150 month to month, excluding VAT; in dollars, $115 or $175. Five users on DocuSign Standard are $125 a month billed yearly, or $225 month to month. Youtrust Plus has no envelope allowance for simple signatures but only one bulk send a month; DocuSign Standard has no bulk send at all until Business Pro.

Where Youtrust is stronger

• European signature levels. Simple, advanced and qualified signatures, with qualified signatures sold one at a time from €10 and data hosted in the EU.
• Verification built in. ID, company and bank account checks, with free credits on paid plans.
• A monthly free allowance. The free plan sends two signature requests every month at no cost.
• In-person signing on every plan, including Free.

Where DocuSign is stronger

• Mobile sending. DocuSign's apps for iPhone, iPad and Android can send; Youtrust's help center says requests can't be sent from a smartphone or touchscreen.
• Languages. 44 signing languages against Youtrust's 9 signer locales.
• Bigger teams online. Standard and Business Pro go up to 50 users without a sales call; Youtrust asks teams over five to contact it.
• Add-ons and integrations. SMS delivery, notarization, payments on Business Pro and a very large integration catalog.

Mind the currency and tax. Youtrust leads with euro prices that exclude VAT, while DocuSign's US pricing page lists dollars and notes that tax may apply, so convert at your own rate before comparing.

Which to choose, by situation

• A French or German company signing employment contracts: Youtrust, for EU hosting and advanced or qualified signatures when you need them.
• A US company with occasional European clients: DocuSign, or a US tool, checking whether a simple signature is enough for each document.
• A field team that sends from a tablet: DocuSign, since Youtrust doesn't support sending from a touchscreen.
• A team that sends one large batch a month: Youtrust Plus covers one bulk send of up to 500 recipients.
