- Per envelope with no subscription: Pactivo, from £0.69 an envelope + VAT.

When Signable is the right choice
Signable is a Bristol company, Signable Ltd, company no. 11965482. Read on its own pages on 5 November 2026, it offers:
- Unlimited users on every plan, from Pay As You Go up.
- Pay As You Go from £2.60 an envelope, with no subscription. For a handful of documents a year, that is hard to argue with.
- Essentials at £40 + VAT a month, billed annually, for 300 envelopes a year, all available at the start of the plan. Business is from £100 + VAT a month for 1,200, Enterprise from £250 + VAT for 5,000.
- Qualified Electronic Signatures on Business and Enterprise.
- UK data storage. Its security page says data stays in the UK, in a London data centre, and that it is ISO 27001 certified.
- A phone number, 0800 612 6263, on its plans page.
If those are the things you need, Signable is a sound choice and this page will not change that. Our head-to-head is at Pixasign vs Signable.
Why people look elsewhere
- Annual billing. Essentials, Business and Enterprise are billed annually. Signable’s plans page showed no monthly option.
- VAT on top. The plan prices are + VAT: £40 + VAT a month is £48 with VAT at 20%, £576 a year (our arithmetic).
- A yearly allowance. 300 envelopes a year suits a steady sender. Its page says going over without buying a bundle means an overage fee for each extra envelope, with no amount shown.
- A free plan. Signable has none on its plans page.
