Skribble says it is intentionally specialised in e-signatures and leaves contract management and long-term archiving to dedicated tools that integrate with it. Templates, redlining and approvals before signing are not part of the product: you upload a finished document and send it for signature. fynk covers the whole path in one system, from drafting from a template through negotiation and approval to signing. If you need both halves, fynk is the simpler setup.
If you already run a contract system that works with Skribble, there is little to compare here. If you do not, compare Skribble plus a second tool against fynk on its own.
In Skribble, signed documents sit in a list you can filter by status and search by document name. There is no search inside the contract text and no renewal reminders. In fynk the work starts on arrival: each document is read, dates, values and notice periods come back as structured data, full-text search covers scanned contracts too, and fynk reminds you before a deadline. This is the clearest difference between the two, and it goes to fynk.
Skribble prices per user with a signature allowance. Pro costs €36 per user per month billed yearly, excluding VAT, with unlimited simple signatures and 120 AES or QES per user per year, pooled. Above that each AES costs €2 and each QES €4, and QES adds a one-time identification fee of €24.50 per signer. Prices for Starter, Team and Pro are published, which is not a given for signature tools. fynk prices per user with unlimited documents under a fair use policy, from €19 per month billed annually. fynk’s AI features do draw on a monthly allowance of AI credits per user, though, and heavy use may need more of them.
Count how many AES and QES you send a year, and ask both vendors to price exactly that volume.
Skribble runs data centres in Switzerland and Germany, chosen at setup. fynk is hosted in the European Economic Area on AWS. Both are ISO 27001 certified, and neither has a SOC 2 report. If your requirement is specifically Switzerland, only Skribble meets it. Skribble also leads on languages: the interface and signing run in German, English, French and Italian, fynk in German and English. Skribble opens its API from Pro, fynk from the Business plan. CRM connections are mixed: Skribble offers HubSpot from Pro and Salesforce only on the Scale plan, priced on request, while fynk connects Salesforce and Pipedrive from Essential and HubSpot natively from Business.

List prices per user per month, billed annually, excluding VAT: fynk Essential, its lowest paid plan, and Skribble Pro, the first Skribble plan with the API and integrations. The row below shows fynk's comparable plan with API access. Ask both vendors to quote your real annual volume.
Leaving Skribble is not a question of signature strength, since both tools sign up to QES. It is about where the signed contracts end up and what reads them afterwards, because Skribble signs uploaded files and leaves long-term archiving to other software.
In Skribble, signed documents sit in a list you can filter by status and search by name, and Skribble itself points to separate tools for long-term archiving. So the contracts that matter usually live somewhere else as well: in SharePoint, OneDrive or Google Drive if your team used the Pro plug-ins, in a contract system, or on a network drive. Pick the one location that is complete and import from there. fynk reads those files on arrival and returns parties, dates, values and notice periods as data, scans included, which gives the archive a structure the old document list never had.
Before the yearly renewal, ask Skribble how signed documents and their signature evidence are exported in bulk, and test the answer on a sample that includes a QES document, because that is the file a court or an auditor would ask for. On Pro, also check which deletion periods are active, so nothing you still need is removed on schedule while the move is under way. Close the account only once the number of exported files matches your own records.
Skribble opens its API and its plug-ins for Word, Excel, SharePoint, OneDrive, Google Drive and HubSpot from Pro, keeps Salesforce for Scale, and also lists Zapier and Power Automate. Write down which of these actually run today. In fynk, Salesforce and Pipedrive connect from Essential, while the REST API, Zapier, webhooks and native HubSpot need Business. A Pro team whose flows depend on the API or on HubSpot should therefore price fynk Business at €39 per user, not Essential at €19. Check the Microsoft plug-ins one by one against fynk’s integration list.
Team and Pro are billed yearly, with 72 or 120 AES or QES per user and year shared across the team. Look at how much of that allowance you actually used, because it shows how many advanced and qualified signatures your contracts really need. Pick a date from which new contracts start in fynk, and let anything already out for signature finish in Skribble. The first to notice are counterparties who signed in French or Italian, since fynk runs in German and English, so tell them before the first fynk invitation arrives.
If you need qualified signatures under Swiss ZertES, if your data must sit in a Swiss data centre, or if your contracts already live in a contract system that works well with Skribble, the move costs real effort and returns little. Staying is the right answer then. When only a handful of documents need ZertES, keeping Skribble’s Starter plan for exactly those, with no subscription and billing per signature, is a sound middle path. We would rather you read that here than discover it after the rollout.
"fynk provides a single source of truth for signed contracts, ensuring that no contracts get lost in folder structures. It reliably reminds us of upcoming contract deadlines. And the signing process is much faster and more efficient."
Skribble is an e-signature service founded in 2018 and headquartered in Zurich, with an office in Karlsruhe. It offers SES, AES and QES under both eIDAS and Swiss ZertES and runs data centres in Switzerland and Germany. It is deliberately a signature tool: contract management and long-term archiving are left to separate software.
For SES, AES and QES under eIDAS plus contract management, yes. If you need QES under Swiss ZertES or a Swiss data centre, Skribble is built for that.
Skribble publishes its prices, excluding VAT: Starter has no subscription and bills each signature (SES €1, AES €3, QES €5), Team costs €23 and Pro €36 per user per month billed yearly, and Scale, for 20+ users or high volume, is priced on request. Team and Pro cost the same amounts in Swiss francs. Both include unlimited simple signatures and 72 (Team) or 120 (Pro) AES or QES per user and year, shared across the team. The bill grows with signatures above that allowance, the one-time QES identification fee of €24.50 per signer, and extras such as branding at €1,400 a year.
It depends on headcount and signature volume. Skribble Pro costs €36 per user per month billed yearly, with 120 AES or QES per user per year and per-signature billing above that. fynk starts at €19 per user per month, with the API from Business at €39. Model your real volume before comparing list prices.
Skribble runs data centres in Switzerland and Germany, and you choose one at setup. fynk is hosted in the European Economic Area on AWS. Both are ISO 27001 certified, and neither has a SOC 2 report.
Yes, within eIDAS. Both offer SES, AES and QES, and validity comes from the level used and the audit trail, not the vendor name. Skribble additionally covers QES under Swiss ZertES.
