The short version

  • Only RoboForm has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: RoboForm free plan is restricted to a single device; syncing across multiple devices requires the Premium plan; 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.

Where each one falls short

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

RoboForm

  • Free plan is restricted to a single device; syncing across multiple devices requires the Premium plan
  • Premium's advertised $2.49 per month rate is a first-year discount that renews at $29.88 per year
  • Family plan covers only up to 5 accounts and likewise renews at a higher $47.75 per year after the first-year discount

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.

Yes, RoboForm offers a 30-day money-back guarantee on all paid plans.

Source
Signicat: Do we still pay the eID schemes?

Yes. Scheme fees are passed through in addition to Signicat charges. Ask for the split when comparing to a direct integration.

Signicat: Are signatures legally qualified?

Signicat supports eIDAS qualified electronic signatures, which carry the highest legal standing in the EU, as well as advanced signatures.
