Secured Signing alternative and Secured Signing notary pricing for teams that need notaries supplied
ENotary is a Secured Signing alternative for business teams that need network notaries supplied alongside seats for their own notaries. Secured Signing Notary Business costs 36 USD a month for the first user, plus prepaid credits for identity checks, seals and other usage, and you supply the commissioned notary. ENotary starts at 119 USD a month, or 59 USD per month billed yearly, with 4 network notary sessions including identity checks and seals.
The short answer on Secured Signing for business teams
Choose Secured Signing when a commissioned notary already handles your work and you want a low subscription price with usage billed through credits. Choose ENotary when you need supplied notaries, backup for employees who notarize, or included sessions instead of a credit balance to fund before scheduling.
The 36 USD subscription is the starting price for software. Credits cover transaction components, and your notary's labor sits outside that software price. Comparing subscriptions alone misses both costs. Separate staff-notary work from sessions requiring a supplied notary before choosing a plan.
Keep your notaries and add network coverage
ENotary Business includes 2 own-notary seats and 12 network sessions for 299 USD a month, or 149 USD per month billed yearly. Own-notary sessions do not use the network allowance.

| Item | Secured Signing price or allowance |
|---|---|
| Notary Business subscription | 36 USD a month for the first user, or 430 USD billed annually |
| Extra users | 10 USD a month each, up to 10 users, or 120 USD a year each |
| Included annual usage | 600 document uploads and 50 credits shared across users, described as about 5 RON meetings |
| Setup fee | None |
| Prepaid credits | 1 credit equals 1 USD, loaded before scheduling RON |
| ID verification | 3 USD per check |
| Knowledge-based authentication | 1 USD per check |
| Digital eSeal | 5 USD for the first seal per document, then 1 USD for each additional seal |
| Standard video signing | Included up to 30 minutes and 2 participants |
| Transaction caps | RON up to 60 USD, IPEN up to 35 USD |
| SMS | 0.15 USD per message |
| Extra participants | 1 USD each |
| Extended RON video | 0.05 USD per participant per extra minute |
| Deepfake detection | 1 USD per scan per participant |
| Enterprise | Custom pricing with SSO and an admin portal |
Business includes a notary queue, job assignment, custom branding, a witness pool, templates, API access, cloud storage integration and 10-year video storage. Secured Signing supports IPEN, RON, RIN and mobile notary workflows. Those capabilities support your commissioned notary rather than supplying one.
The included 50 credits are annual, not monthly. Their value buys different numbers of meetings depending on checks, documents, seals and add-ons. The advertised estimate of about 5 meetings is not a fixed allowance for every document packet.
What a working month costs with prepaid credits
Consider one staff notary completing 8 RON sessions, each with 2 signers and 3 documents. Assume one successful ID check and one KBA check per signer, one seal on each document, and sessions within 30 minutes. Count the notary as a third video participant, adding 1 USD per meeting. This participant interpretation is an explicit budgeting assumption to confirm with Secured Signing.
Each session uses 6 credits for ID verification, 2 for KBA, 15 for seals and 1 for the extra participant. That is 24 credits per session and 192 credits for 8 sessions. Three documents each need their first seal at 5 USD. They do not cost 5 USD for the first document and 1 USD for the others.
| Monthly scenario | Usage credits | Subscription plus usage after included credits are exhausted |
|---|---|---|
| 1 session, 1 signer, 1 document | 3 ID + 1 KBA + 5 seal = 9 | 45 USD |
| 8 sessions, 2 signers, 3 documents each | 8 x 24 = 192 | 228 USD |
| Same 8 sessions, 2 seals on each document | 8 x 27 = 216 | 252 USD |
These examples use monthly billing and exclude SMS, extended video, deepfake scans, repeat checks and staff labor. The first row assumes two participants including the notary. The last row adds one 1 USD seal on each of three documents. All modeled session charges fall below the 60 USD RON cap.
If all 50 included annual credits remain available, the 192-credit month needs 142 USD of additional credits, making subscription plus new credit funding 178 USD. Later identical months cost 228 USD after those credits are spent. Actual cash funding depends on your starting credit balance.
For the same staff-notary workload, ENotary Business costs 299 USD monthly, or 149 USD per month billed yearly, and retains all 12 network sessions for backup. Secured Signing costs less in this example against ENotary monthly billing. ENotary adds supplied notaries and predictable included usage, so the choice depends on coverage as well as cost.
Secured Signing vs ENotary for a business team
| What you compare | Secured Signing | ENotary |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing model | Subscription plus prepaid transaction credits | Subscription with network sessions included |
| Entry price | Business 36 USD monthly or 430 USD annually | Starter 119 USD monthly or 59 USD per month billed yearly |
| Who supplies the notary | Customer brings a commissioned notary | Network notaries supplied, plus own-notary seats from Business |
| Identity checks and seals | Charged through credits | Included in sessions |
| Session size | Video includes 2 participants, extras charged | Up to 4 signers and 10 documents |
| Staff-notary work | Usage charges apply | Own-notary sessions do not use the allowance |
| Workflow features | Queue, job assignment, branding, templates, witness pool | Templates, shared workspace, bulk send from Business |
| IPEN | Supported | Not offered |
| API | Included on Business | Included on Scale and Enterprise |
| Video retention | 10 years | Commissioning state's retention period, custom retention on Enterprise |
| SSO | Enterprise | Google SSO on Scale, SAML SSO on Enterprise |
| Best for | Commissioned notaries wanting software and usage billing | Teams needing supplied notaries and staff-notary backup |
ENotary Scale costs 799 USD monthly, or 399 USD per month billed yearly, with 40 network sessions, 10 own-notary seats and API access. Annual billing means paying the annual invoice, not a monthly contract at that lower rate. See pricing for plan allowances and billing totals.
When Secured Signing is the better choice
- A solo commissioned notary wants a low entry subscription and handles all appointments personally.
- Your workflow needs PKI digital certificates per signer.
- You need IPEN alongside remote notarizations.
- A defined 10-year video retention period fits your records policy.
- You want API access on the Business subscription or Enterprise SSO with an admin portal.
Secured Signing deserves a place on the shortlist in these cases. ENotary's supplied-notary model matters less when your own notary covers every appointment and your requirements center on IPEN or signer certificates.
Why teams look for a Secured Signing alternative
Coverage is the main reason. A notary queue can assign a job, but a platform requiring your commissioned notary cannot replace an absent employee. ENotary lets senders choose network notaries within the plan allowance when staff cannot cover a session.
Budgeting also changes. Secured Signing credits vary with checks, seals, participants and video usage. ENotary includes identity verification, seals and the notary's time in network sessions. Staff-notary sessions stay outside the network allowance, so internal workload does not consume backup capacity.
Document-heavy teams also compare the whole packet. On ENotary, a session covers up to 4 signers and 10 documents. Match your real packets to those limits instead of assuming every notarization is a single document with one signer.
Who chooses ENotary for supplied notaries
Title and escrow offices, law firms, lenders and operations teams fit when notarization needs to continue beyond one employee's availability. Business suits teams combining staff notaries with network coverage. Starter suits a small office needing supplied notaries without own-notary seats. Scale adds capacity and API access for teams connecting notarization to their systems.
1. Review your actual sessions and credit use
Separate ID checks, KBA, seals, participant charges and optional services. Count the sessions your staff notary handles and those requiring outside coverage.
2. Match coverage to an ENotary plan
Choose the network allowance and own-notary seats you need. Check document requirements and commissioning-state rules before scheduling work on a different platform.
3. Invite your staff notary and run a session
Your notary adds commission details, certificate and seal as required. Prepare the documents, invite signers and choose your notary or a network notary.
4. Preserve the records you already hold
Review existing journal and recording obligations before closing any account. Keep the required documents and evidence accessible under your retention policy, and confirm custody arrangements for existing recordings.
Secured Signing questions buyers ask
How much does Secured Signing cost?
Secured Signing Notary Business costs 36 USD monthly for the first user or 430 USD annually. Extra users cost 10 USD monthly each or 120 USD annually. The plan includes 50 annual credits, while identity checks, seals and add-ons consume prepaid credits beyond the subscription.
Is Secured Signing approved in my state?
Secured Signing says it is approved in more than 40 states, but that does not establish approval for your particular commission or transaction. Confirm current requirements with your commissioning authority and the platform before booking. Check whether your intended act is RON, IPEN or another supported workflow.
Does Secured Signing provide a notary?
No. Secured Signing provides a platform for commissioned notaries, and the customer brings the notary who performs the act. Its notary queue and job assignment features organize that work. A business without a commissioned notary needs to arrange one separately or choose a service with network notaries supplied.
What is a good alternative to Secured Signing?
ENotary is a good alternative for business teams that need supplied notaries and their own notaries in one workspace. Business costs 299 USD monthly or 149 USD per month billed yearly, including 12 network sessions and 2 own-notary seats. Staff-notary sessions do not use the network allowance.
Do Secured Signing credits cover every session cost?
Credits cover priced transaction components, but the amount needed depends on checks, seals, participants and optional services. One credit equals 1 USD and must be loaded before scheduling RON. The 50 included annual credits are not a monthly session allowance, and your commissioned notary's labor remains a separate consideration.
