Congrats on the launch. I know most businesses are looking for converting their online forms (contracts, etc.) to a signed pdf. Do you have plan to connect to such data sources like Formaloo or Google forms?
Nicola Di Giorgio
@farokh_shahabi Thanks Farokh! Really good idea. The first focus of SignFree is to help people tp sign a very simple template: add your name, the date and you're signature and you're good to go! I'll be more than happy to discuss with you about a possible integration with Formaloo :)

@nicola_di_giorgio Great, I think that would be a real competitive advantage compared to alternatives

Asking the obvious: if it's free, then how do you make money? You've got to cover your own costs, at least.
Nicola Di Giorgio
@linusgeffarth Hi Linus, thanks for the question! Actually we decided to reinvest our company profits to build this product. Nowadays the products that really matter are practically free and this matches our mission mission statement: to democratize the e-signature!
Linus
Got it. I mean I totally agree with that mindset, but that's not how capitalism usually works 😄 So like is this a marketing thing that gets people to your real business? There's gotta be something you make off of this. (Don't take it personally, I've just gotten a little suspicious about these things.)
Nicola Di Giorgio
@linusgeffarth Right, right :) :) :) We do have a premium plan. But what I want to say (and Gary Vee says it better than myself lol) is that nowadays the key is to make a product that really matter to people. If you bring value to your user, there is then 100 ways to monetize in a direct or indirect mode... but yes, we have a premium plan coming soon :)

Interesting challenge to docusign! Good luck :)
Nicola Di Giorgio
@vivekkatial Thanks a lot Vivek!!! Finger crossed we can make e-signature more accessible and cheaper!!!

Tired of printing out, signing, and scanning documents manually? Or to sign it to an app and then discover that you can only sign 3 documents for free? Well that's why we created SignFree: we want virtual signing to finally be simple!

Awesome product! Seems better than DocuSign. Congrats on the launch :))
Nicola Di Giorgio
@amartya_bhargava Thanks a lot Amartya !!! Such a nice compliment, we are really honored :)

Finally, someone offered free e-sign. My mom (bad at tech) is struggling with adding signature. I tried other service online to hopefully make it easier but their websites often have a lot of unnecessarily clutter/services/steps for a single action. Hopefully I get to try this out soon and recommend this to my mom. Thanks Nicola and team :D
Nicola Di Giorgio
@whereisj9 thanks Janine for your amazing comment and support! We're really glad to hear this for you as make the e-signature more accessible is our mission! And with such a comment we feel that we're heading to the right direction! By the way we got all your comments and we'll get back to you to validate the new features you asked for!

Nice and amazing product. Congrats.
Nicola Di Giorgio
@basharath Thank you Basharath!!!
Alexander Eble
Congrats on the launch! @nicola_di_giorgio What type of signature does SignFree offer? In Germany for example, AES or QES are required to comply with eIDAs.
Nicola Di Giorgio
@alexander_eble Thanks a lot Alexander! Well our first target is to democratize the e-signature (the first level of eIDAs). We believe that there are still too many people who are still printing, signing and scanning each document or who use a picture of their signature in a word document. Our Premium version (expected on 05/22) will offer AES via SMS or Whatsapp verification. QES is really specific to each country and it's not in the backlog for the moment. I hope that this helps!

Awesome great
Abhishek Sharma
I think this is very much needed. I don't want to use a camera and a printer then a scanner. Just one thing, why can't we create a account to manage my signatures uploaded in an image format.
Nicola Di Giorgio
@new_user_10220228f4d98ded7 Thanks a lot Abihishek!!! Indeed I agree with you, that's how SignFree was born: we were tired of printing, scanning and so on. To make it most straightforward possible, you do not need login account. But I have a good news for you: by default your signature stays in the secure storage of your browser, so no need to draw it every time!

In the age of digital technology, this is a must-have product! cool!

@diana_sfera Thanks a lot Diana!!!

Petar Todorovski
Is it eIDAS-compliant? Does it use a qualified e-sign certificate?
Nicola Di Giorgio
@petartodd Hello Petar, SignFree focuses on the e-signature and Advance E-Signature as we really make it more accessible to people everywhere, i.e. in and outside Europe. For the qualified e-signature there are more and more applications handle this part. For example in Belgium there is Itsme. Do you have a country in mind for the qualified e-signature?
Petar Todorovski
@nicola_di_giorgio I've worked on the harmonization of the EU and the Macedonian law related to e-signatures and I've realized two things in the process: 1) e-signatures are often not accessible due to costs, and 2) people never know what the particular e-signature is enough for (will it be recognized if they signed a contract with it etc.). That is why I wanted to know what kind e-signatures you offer. If it is registered in the Trust Providers List of any country in the EU, then it will be recognized in Macedonia as well.
Nicola Di Giorgio
@petartodd Good to know this. Actually we were also involved with the implementation of QEA signatures for banks and insurances in Belgium but SignFree do not target this market. But the qualified signatures is quite complicated and it applies to really specific scenarios (notary deeds, ...). We actually noticed that for most of the documents of our everyday life it's enough to include an e-signature or to get a verification of the identity of the signer by SMS. Already these 2 levels are not accessible to the majority of the people and I think that once this will be granted, then all signature will be level up to qualified. But I guess that jumping directly to the qualified e-signature for all documents it's a bit too early (by the way macedonia is a wonderful country, I really liked travelling there :)

Congrats on the launch!

@frank_h Thanks a lot Frank!
Umar Saif
Seems like a very useful product. I will start using it. Does it have any automatic features like e-sign placement etc ?makers
Nicola Di Giorgio
@umarsaif Thanks a lot Umar! Let me know if you have any feedback. The approach is a bit the other way around: if you send a document to be signed, you do not have to prepare the template, but it's the receiver who is going to place the signature on it. Anyway, let us know on twitter @getsignfree1 who's going!
Rob McDowall
I like it. It is simple and straightforward. I would however like to have the option of adding a date and time to the signature or just below it.
Nicola Di Giorgio
@robmcd85 Thanks Rob! There is actually a way to add the date (the option is behind the tree dots :) We'll add the proposition to our backlog and let you know when it's there to let us now what you think!
Attila Szabo
Interesting product! Some questions if you don't mind :) How the recipient make sure that a signer signed a document and not someone else, can this later be proved with the document? Is the service provide any ways to make sure about the identities of these people?
Nicola Di Giorgio
@attila_szabo thanks a lot Attila! If you need to get or provide some identity verification, at the moment we propose it via sms/whatsapp one-time-password or via ID card + selfie
