SignPlus beside other signing apps for Confluence Cloud. A tick means everything in the row's
definition; a partial cell names what is missing. Each app links to the Marketplace listing it was
checked against.

Checked on 21.10.2026 against each product's published documentation and its Marketplace listing. A dash means the feature is in neither. If a row no longer matches what an app does, write to hello@oktul.com and we will check it again.

## What each row means

Each definition links to the page that documents it.

- **Qualified electronic signature:** Each signer signs with a qualified eID, such as Smart-ID or an ID card, through a qualified trust service provider. eIDAS gives such a signature the legal effect of a handwritten one. How SignPlus does it: https://oktul.com/docs/plugins/signplus/#a-qualified-signature-through-dokobit
- **Signers outside your site:** A person with no Atlassian account can sign, from an email invitation. How SignPlus does it: https://oktul.com/docs/plugins/signplus/for-signers/#the-invitation
- **Signature tied to the page version:** The signature records exactly which version of the page was signed. How SignPlus does it: https://oktul.com/docs/plugins/signplus/after-signing/#what-the-byline-says
- **Signed file attached to the page:** When signing finishes, the signed document is attached to the page it was signed from. How SignPlus does it: https://oktul.com/docs/plugins/signplus/after-signing/#where-the-signed-file-is
- **Page locked while it is signed:** The app can stop people editing the page as soon as signing starts, so the text cannot change under the signers. How SignPlus does it: https://oktul.com/docs/plugins/signplus/configure/#the-page-while-it-is-signed
- **Groups as signers:** A Confluence group can be added as signers, and every member is invited. How SignPlus does it: https://oktul.com/docs/plugins/signplus/sign-a-page/#who-can-sign
- **Started from a rule or the REST API:** A Jira automation rule or another system can start a signing, through an action or a REST API. How SignPlus does it: https://oktul.com/docs/plugins/signplus/automation/
