Who we are

Who is ?

Signivo is a centralised email signature manager built for teams on Gmail and Outlook. Your Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 admin connects your entire directory once: names, titles, departments, photos, the lot. After that, the person in charge of Signivo edits and publishes consistent, on-brand signatures across your organisation. There's one plan with all features included. Signivo is EU-hosted in Germany.

Built in 2026 by a small team that had spent years frustrated with the choice in this category: enterprise platforms with week-long rollouts on one end, hobby tools with no governance on the other. Signivo is the missing middle, fast enough to be live in minutes, structured enough to run an organisation on. No forced sales process, no implementation project, you start on your own and involve IT only where it makes sense. Support is AI-powered live chat plus direct access to the product team, with a guaranteed response within one business day.

05Who they are

Who is CodeTwo?

CodeTwo launched in 2007 as a Polish software vendor focused on Microsoft Exchange and Microsoft 365 tooling.

The product is built for organisations that run on Microsoft and want a vendor that goes deep on Exchange and Microsoft 365. CodeTwo offers both cloud-based and server-side signature management with extensive Exchange integration. The trade-off is platform scope: CodeTwo does not support Google Workspace, so mixed-stack orgs need a second tool.

Signivo and CodeTwo both manage email signatures centrally. Signivo covers Google Workspace and Microsoft 365 with 2-minute setup, EU-only hosting, and flat €1 per user per month pricing. CodeTwo targets Microsoft-only environments with deep Exchange integration, volume-based pricing, and longer enterprise rollouts.

06Side by side

Signivo or CodeTwo: how do they compare?

Six dimensions, zero hand-waving. Who excels at what.

Which is cheaper?

Verdict: Signivo includes every feature for 1 EUR/user/month. CodeTwo uses one all-features plan priced by seat count: 1.22 EUR per user at 10 seats, down to 0.73 EUR at 500, custom quotes above 500. On-premises Exchange Server signatures are a separate product.

Signivo uses a single flat rate: 1 EUR per user per month, or 10 EUR per user per year when billed annually. Every feature is included in one plan. No tiered pricing, no per-feature upsells.

CodeTwo sells CodeTwo Email Signatures 365 as a single plan with all features included. The per-user price is volume-based: around 1.22 EUR at 10 seats, 1.11 EUR at 100, and 0.73 EUR at 500, with custom quotes above 500. Yearly billing is about 10 percent cheaper than monthly, and the minimum is 10 licences. On-premises signature management for Exchange Server is a separate product, licensed independently.

Information gathered from each vendor's website. Facts and figures may be outdated.

Which is faster to set up?

Verdict: Signivo wins on time-to-value with a 2-minute setup. CodeTwo wins on Exchange-server deployment options if you run on-premises Microsoft.

Signivo: On Google Workspace, an admin connects the tenant once and the directory syncs automatically. On Microsoft 365, an admin grants Signivo access in Entra ID and rolls out the Signivo Outlook Add-in centrally. Either way, minutes of admin time, not an IT project.

CodeTwo: Registering a tenant runs through an eight-step wizard and needs a Microsoft 365 global admin, a change to your domain's SPF record, and two Exchange Online connectors plus a transport rule. CodeTwo puts provisioning itself at a few minutes. Cloud signatures work from then on; if you want them to appear while people compose in Outlook, the add-in has to be rolled out as well, which CodeTwo's manual puts at "from 6 up to 72 hours to complete". You can buy and deploy CodeTwo entirely on your own, provided you hold global admin rights in the tenant. On-premises Exchange is a separate product, installed on each Exchange Server carrying the Mailbox role, and it supports Exchange SE only.

Step by step on the platform CodeTwo covers: setting up Signivo in Microsoft 365. If part of your estate also runs Google Workspace, that setup is written up separately.

Which does more?

Verdict: Signivo covers central templates, directory-driven fields and per-group rules on both Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. CodeTwo adds server-side stamping and Exchange-native integration.

Which works with Gmail and Outlook?

Verdict: Signivo supports Google Workspace through directory sync and Microsoft 365 through the Signivo Outlook Add-in. CodeTwo goes deeper into the Microsoft stack but does not support Google Workspace.

Signivo integrates natively with Google Workspace and supports Microsoft 365 via the Signivo Outlook Add-in. CodeTwo integrates deeply with Microsoft 365 and Exchange Server, including server-side transport-layer integration. CodeTwo does not support Google Workspace, making it a Microsoft-only choice.

If you are on Microsoft 365, here is how Signivo handles it. Google Workspace works differently, and that path is written up separately.

Who offers better support?

Verdict: Signivo offers direct product-team access. CodeTwo includes technical support with every subscription and offers partner-led implementations through its reseller programme.

Signivo: AI-powered live chat, plus direct access to the product team with a response within one business day, regardless of your licence tier. Which we don't have anyway.

CodeTwo: Technical support is included with every subscription, with no separate support tiers. CodeTwo lists 24/7 phone and email support and a response within 24 hours for licensed customers, with no equivalent guarantee for other enquiries. German-language service runs weekdays 08:00 to 18:00; outside those hours support is in English.

Security & compliance

Verdict: Signivo wins on EU-only data residency. CodeTwo states that it holds ISO 27001 and 27018 certification and is Microsoft 365 Certified, with EU data centre options.

Signivo: EU-hosted in Germany. GDPR compliant.

CodeTwo: Hosted on Microsoft Azure across nine regions worldwide, from the US and Canada to Ireland, the UK, Germany, Australia and the UAE. European customers can pick Germany West Central. The choice is made once at registration and CodeTwo's manual states it cannot be changed later without deregistering the tenant, which also cancels the subscription. CodeTwo states it complies with ISO 27001 and ISO 27018 and is certified by Microsoft.

07The honest recommendation

Should you choose Signivo or CodeTwo?

Not every company is a Signivo company, and that's fine. Here's the clearest way we can put it.

Choose Signivo if

  • You want signatures live within minutes, not hours or days
  • Self-service, no onboarding, sales process, or implementation required
  • You're on Google Workspace or Microsoft 365, or both, and want one tool that covers either
  • You want a flat rate for the entire software; no tiered pricing, no per-seat upsells, or annoying sales reps calling you
  • EU-only hosting and zero replication outside the EU matter for your data residency posture
  • You'd rather contact the people building the product directly than navigate a support tier system

Choose CodeTwo if

  • Your organisation runs entirely on Microsoft 365 or Exchange
  • You need server-side signature stamping at the transport layer
  • You want a vendor with deep Exchange-specific expertise
  • Your IT team prefers structured Microsoft-centric rollouts
  • You require on-premises deployment options for Exchange Server
