Signivo manages email signatures centrally for whole organisations within Google Workspace and Outlook. Two minutes to set up, EU-hosted, flat €1 per user per month.
Google's native Gmail signature and Append footer rule are built into Google Workspace at no extra cost. Here is how they compare in 2026, and where they fall short for growing teams.
14-day trial · No credit card · EU-hosted · No Workspace changes during trial
Five dimensions that matter most when picking between the two. Pricing and setup time are the biggest gaps.
Two minutes is what it takes — start to finished, screen-recorded, no edits.
Signivo is a centralized email signature manager built for teams using Google Workspace and Outlook. One account connects your entire directory — names, titles, departments, photos, the lot — and publishes consistent, on-brand signatures across your organization. There's one plan with all features included. Our servers are hosted entirely in Frankfurt, Germany.
Built in 2026 by a small team that had spent years frustrated with the choice in this category: enterprise platforms with month-long rollouts on one end, hobby tools with no governance on the other. Signivo is the missing middle — fast enough to deploy within an hour, structured enough to run an organization on. No forced sales process, no implementation package required — start self-serve and involve IT only where it makes sense. Support goes straight to the product team — response within one business day.
Google Workspace ships with two native signature options: each user sets their own signature inside Gmail Settings, and Workspace admins can append a single plain footer to all outbound mail via the Admin Console Gmail compliance rule.
The native tools work for the simplest case (a single text disclaimer applied org-wide), but they fall short fast: the Append footer is plain text applied to everyone at once, dynamic fields like job title and department are not supported, custom HTML signatures must be pasted by each user, and there is no central preview, no versioning, no per-group rules and no analytics.
Google Workspace ships with per-user Gmail signatures and one Admin-Console footer applied to everyone at once, included free. Signivo is the Google Workspace-native option with central HTML templates, directory-driven fields, per-group rules, EU-only Frankfurt hosting and a two-minute setup. Use native Google for hobby teams. Switch to Signivo the moment you need consistent, central, on-brand signatures.
Six dimensions, zero hand-waving. Who excels at what.
Signivo: A flat per-user monthly rate with all features included. 1 EUR per user per month, or 10 EUR per user per year when billed annually.
Google native: Free for every Google Workspace customer. The hidden cost shows up in time: every employee maintains their own signature manually, and IT can only enforce a single plain-text footer for everyone at once.
Competitor pricing is linked rather than quoted - figures change regularly.
Signivo: Two-minute OAuth, central control. Google native: Each user opens Gmail Settings and pastes a signature, or an admin sets a single org-wide footer in Apps then Gmail then Compliance then Append footer. There is no central preview and no rollback.
A like-for-like view of what Google ships natively versus a dedicated signature platform.
Signivo: Native Google Workspace directory sync, per-group templates. Google native: No directory-driven field population in the Append footer, no per-group rules, no third-party CRM or analytics integration.
Signivo: Direct access to the founders, no tier gates. Google native: Supported through Google Workspace's standard support channels; there is no dedicated signature-management support team.
Signivo: EU-only Frankfurt hosting, GDPR-aligned by default. Certified for Google CASA and Microsoft 365 App Compliance programs.
Google native: Signature data lives inside your Google Workspace tenant region, governed by your existing Workspace security and data-residency configuration.
Not every company is a Signivo company, and that's fine. Here's the clearest way we can put it.
Three steps, a couple of minutes. No consultants, no migration fees.
Ask each user to copy their existing Gmail signature HTML from Settings, or pull the org-wide Append footer text from the Admin Console under Apps then Gmail then Compliance. Use those as the visual baseline for your Signivo templates, then map each field to a Google Workspace directory attribute.
One-time OAuth with your Google Workspace admin. Directory syncs automatically. About two minutes, start to finish.
Upload your templates, or pick from our library, and publish company-wide in one click. Older signatures are overwritten.
Setup in 2 minutes - and if you still need convincing: scroll this page again.
