The short version

  • Each has a real cost: IAPro a public university's procurement documentation for IAPro (CI Technologies, acquired by Versaterm Public Safety in 2023) states the software is sold as an unlimited-use license covering all concurrent users and workstations with no additional or hidden licensing costs, and the first year of annual maintenance is included free; no dollar figure for that license was disclosed in the document, so total cost is not visible without a direct quote.; Signicat national eID scheme fees are passed through on top of Signicat's own charge, so a single-country business almost always pays less by integrating with the scheme directly.
  • They diverge on capability: IAPro covers Case Management, Signicat covers eID scheme brokering.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

IAPro

  • A public university's procurement documentation for IAPro (CI Technologies, acquired by Versaterm Public Safety in 2023) states the software is sold as an unlimited-use license covering all concurrent users and workstations with no additional or hidden licensing costs, and the first year of annual maintenance is included free; no dollar figure for that license was disclosed in the document, so total cost is not visible without a direct quote.

Signicat

  • National eID scheme fees are passed through on top of Signicat's own charge, so a single-country business almost always pays less by integrating with the scheme directly.
  • Value is concentrated in Northern and Western Europe, and coverage in Southern and Eastern Europe is thinner, so a pan-European rollout still hits gaps requiring document fallback.
  • Pricing is per transaction and quoted, and because scheme rates vary by country the cost per onboarded customer differs materially between markets in ways that complicate unit economics.
  • Each eID scheme connection typically carries its own setup fee and approval process, so adding a country is a project with a lead time rather than a configuration change.
  • Availability is tied to the national schemes, meaning an outage at BankID or MitID stops your onboarding entirely and there is no vendor-side mitigation for it.
