E-signature cost is more than envelope price
Search for e-signature cost and you want a number. Responsible ISVs need TCO: licence, integration, operations, lock-in, legal risk. Global enterprise models meter envelopes expensively and glue identity to their portal. It looks like a feature and acts as a switching brake.
How to spot lock-in cost
Third-party user accounts, opaque tiers, on-premise only as an add-on, EU servers of a US parent. Every workaround on your roadmap is TCO. Sign2x counters with API-first, whitelabel, hosting on the data-sovereign cloud hosting in Germany, on-premise without feature loss, and up to 20% lower licensing versus comparable vendors. There is no public price list because volume and operating mode drive the contract - hence contact, not a fake tariff.
Data sovereignty inside TCO
Cloud Act exposure is not a line item until a tenant stops the deal. Then it is the most expensive line. Paperless flows cut process cost in half and close up to 80% faster - if compliance does not kill the rollout later. Frame it with the quiz.
Lock-in cost beyond the licence
End-user accounts, portal redirects, missing on-premise - every workaround is TCO.
Frequently asked questions
Is Sign2x a QTSP?
No. Sign2x is the engine. Qualified signatures and seals run through connected QTSPs such as Sign8.
Where is processing?
Only in Germany on the data-sovereign cloud hosting in Germany - no US Cloud Act exposure on the engine.
Does AES replace written form?
Not by default. Only QES can be equivalent to written form under statutory conditions.
Why no price on the website?
Volume, level and SaaS vs on-premise drive the contract.
What does up to 20% cheaper mean?
Versus comparable vendors at full scope - not a guarantee for every volume.
Sign2x hosts exclusively in Germany on the data-sovereign cloud hosting in Germany - with no US Cloud Act exposure on contract data. The engine is API-first for ISVs; QES and seals run through QTSP partners such as Sign8. Sign2x is not itself a QTSP. Whitelabel, on-premise without feature loss, and all eIDAS levels in one API are the architecture basis for TCO. Paperless flows can close deals up to 80% faster and cut process cost in half. Licensing sits up to 20% below comparable vendors - quotes via contact, not a public rate card.
