Ratifio vs Adobe Sign
Adobe Acrobat Sign is a capable e-signature tool backed by Adobe's document heritage. But it was designed as an add-on to a PDF suite, not as a compliance-first signing platform for regulated industries. When your auditor asks for a complete chain of custody, the difference matters.
Signing built from the ground up for regulatory scrutiny
E-signatures powered by the world's leading PDF platform
Adobe Sign pricing typically requires annual commitments and per-user fees. Here's what Ratifio offers instead.
For regulated teams getting started with e-signatures
For organisations with regulatory reporting obligations
For financial services, healthcare, and government
Every action is logged with IP address, user agent, ISO 8601 timestamp, and document hash. Consent text recorded verbatim. Not a summary — the actual evidence trail your regulator expects.
Financial regulators expect 7 years. Healthcare expects 8-10. Ratifio stores documents and audit trails for the full retention period with immutable logs and automated retention management.
SHA-256 hash at upload, recorded before signing begins. Any modification to the document after upload is cryptographically detectable. This isn't a feature — it's the architecture.
REST API, webhooks, bulk operations, and white-label embedding. Ratifio fits into your existing compliance stack. Integrate with your GRC platform, case management system, or internal workflow.
Adobe Sign inherits trust from the PDF format Adobe invented. But compliance signing needs more than trusted PDFs — it needs provable audit trails, tamper-evident seals, and transparent pricing. Ratifio was built for the audit, not the filing cabinet.
