Scrive
Esigning built in Europe, for security & compliance
By Scrive · HQ Stockholm, Sweden · 4.0/5 Value-Position score (estimate)
Positioning guardrails
Best for
- European enterprises that need eIDAS-qualified electronic signatures (QES) from a qualified trust service provider
- Regulated banking, insurance and fintech teams verifying customers with eID Hub and national eIDs such as BankID, MitID and Smart-ID
- HR, legal and sales teams signing contracts and offers from Microsoft 365, Google Workspace or Salesforce
- Real estate, automotive and telecom firms signing high volumes of rental, lease and subscription agreements
- Product teams that want a documented e-signing and identity API with 100+ packaged integrations
Ideal size: 20–1,000 employees people · Compliance-aware mid-market or enterprise, often in a regulated European market
Not for
- US-only teams with no EU compliance or eID requirement, where local e-signature tools may be cheaper
- Buyers who insist on transparent self-serve per-seat pricing; most Scrive products are quoted by sales
- Very small teams wanting a permanent free plan — only a 14-day free trial is offered
- Organisations that cannot accept EU/EEA-only data hosting and EU subprocessors

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to get Scrive into production?
Scrive offers a 14-day free trial of eSign Online, and portal users can typically send documents for signature within days. Deeper rollouts — API signing, eID Hub identity flows or Salesforce and Microsoft 365 integrations — are scoped with sales and normally need a short implementation project. Scrive does not publish a standard implementation timeline or fee.
Will Scrive signatures hold up legally in the EU?
Scrive is a Qualified Trust Service Provider recognised under EU eIDAS and offers qualified electronic signatures (QES), the highest legal level defined by that regulation. The company states that documents e-signed with Scrive meet global contract-law standards and can be used as evidence in court proceedings.
What does Scrive cost?
Scrive does not publish list prices. Its pricing page groups separate products — eSign Online, eSign GO, eSign API, eID Hub, ID Check, eSign Forms and Forms builder — each quoted on contact. You request a quote or demo, or reach sales on +46 8 446 866 02, then price is scoped by employee count and use case.
Which identity and eID methods does Scrive support?
Through the eID Hub and ID Check it supports Swedish BankID, Norwegian BankID, Danish MitID, Finnish BankID and Mobile-ID, Freja eID, itsme, Smart-ID, iDIN, Verimi, OneID, MitID Erhverv, PIN by SMS and document/biometric checks via Onfido and 365id. Scrive is also a certified MitID broker and an OpenID Connect certified provider.
Does Scrive have an AI or MCP story?
Scrive lists a Scrive MCP server in beta, positioned to connect AI agents to verified identity and eIDAS-compliant signing, joined via a waitlist. Its integrations page also lists Claude, OpenAI, Cursor, Lovable and Replit as tools you can build against its APIs. No published vendor page details model providers, key handling or AI audit logging.
Where is customer data hosted and how do I get support?
Scrive aims to process personal data inside the EU/EEA: the standard platform runs on AWS infrastructure and Scrive EC is hosted by an EU provider, with all data-hosting geolocations inside the EU/EEA. Support runs a help centre, a contact form and phone support on +46 10-810 99 90, with phone hours Mon-Fri 10:00-14:00 CET.
