Eversign was originally founded in 2017 as a Vienna-headquartered e-signature platform operating as eversign GmbH (Austrian Firmenbuch FN572452t, with offices also in London), at launch one of the more promising EU-based DocuSign alternatives, with SOC II + GDPR + eIDAS + UETA compliance and a flat developer-API-friendly pricing model. In 2022 the company was acquired by Apryse (formerly PDFTron Systems Inc.), a US-Canadian document-processing technology group headquartered in Denver, Colorado with operations in Vancouver, Canada (the same Apryse that runs the Xodo consumer PDF tools). Post-acquisition, the Eversign product was integrated into the Apryse portfolio and rebranded as Xodo Sign; the eversign.com URL persists primarily for SEO continuity and existing customer accounts.
For an EU-sovereignty audit the listing now sits firmly outside the procurement-grade tier despite the Austrian engineering heritage. The controlling entity is a US-incorporated parent (Apryse / PDFTron Systems Inc.), which under our strict-ownership stance is us_owned with direct CLOUD Act exposure. The product retains its eIDAS-compliant signature workflow and Austrian/UK operating presence, but contracts are now with the Apryse-controlled entity rather than with an EU-controlled vendor. Compliance attestations carry through: SOC II / GDPR / eIDAS / UETA.
Pricing follows the Apryse-portfolio strategy with transparent per-user tiers, quoted in US dollars rather than euro: a free tier of 3 documents a month, Basic from 10 $ per user per month billed yearly, Professional at $16 per user per month on the same basis, and Enterprise on request. Best fit: existing eversign customers who already have contracts, US-headquartered enterprise buyers using the wider Apryse stack (Xodo / PDFTron). Procurement-grade EU-only buyers should choose Youtrust (France, its own eIDAS QTSP, formerly Yousign), Skribble (Switzerland, ZertES and eIDAS QES brokered from Swisscom), Universign (France, qualified trust service provider), or Signaturit (Spain, eIDAS-qualified Barcelona) instead; all listed in this category and structurally cleaner under the strict-ownership stance.
