- Staff Signature features are included on every team plan, starting at 25 signatures for $99.
- "Not published" means the feature does not appear on the vendor's pricing or product pages as of October 7, 2026. It may exist; we could not confirm it.
- Install tracking matters most when staff install their own signatures. Server-side tools apply signatures without staff action, so they have less need for it.
- Crossware publishes one product with no plan tiers, so its features are listed as included.
- Sources: each vendor's pricing and product pages, read October 7, 2026. Links are on each comparison page below.
When another tool is the better fit
Staff Signature installs by copy and paste into Gmail, Outlook, or Apple Mail, about two minutes per person, with automatic reminders. That is the tradeoff for the price. Choose one of the others if any of these is a must.
You need signatures applied on the Microsoft 365 server
Server-side install puts the signature on every email from every device, including phones, with no staff action. Exclaimer, OpenSense, and Crossware include it. WiseStamp includes it on Platform. We do not offer it.
You want staff details to sync from your directory
All four pull staff details from Entra ID (Azure AD), and Exclaimer, OpenSense, and WiseStamp also sync with Google, so new hires, title changes, and departures update on their own. With us, an admin invites new people and each person edits their own details. That matters more past about 50 staff.
Your purchase goes through a security review
All four advertise security certifications such as SOC 2 Type II, and Exclaimer adds ISO 27001 and 27018. Staff Signature is not SOC 2 certified and does not offer single sign-on. If procurement requires either, choose a certified vendor.
You run campaigns from your CRM
Exclaimer Pro connects to HubSpot and Salesforce. OpenSense Complete adds HubSpot, Marketo, Salesforce, Zoho, Outreach, and Salesloft. We have no CRM or HR system integrations and no A/B testing.

Common questions
Why does Staff Signature cost so much less?
It is a one-time price. Staff Signature does not process your mail on a server. Each person installs their signature once by copy and paste, so there is nothing to bill per mailbox every month. $299 covers 100 people with no renewal.
Do I have to renew every year?
No. You pay once: $99 for 25 signatures, $299 for 100, $649 for 250 ($499 for the first 25 organizations), or $999 for 500. Blocks stack on the same keyword if you grow.
What happens when someone joins or changes their title?
There is no automatic directory sync. You invite the new person from the Admin Console and they install with your keyword, with automatic reminders until they do. Anyone can edit their own details at any time, and the brand stays locked.
Where do the competitor prices come from?
Each vendor's own pricing page or price calculator, read on October 7, 2026. Prices change, so check the vendor's site before you decide. Each competitor page lists its sources.
Pay once for the whole team
