Answers to the most common questions about Paramant: authentication, integrations, and troubleshooting.

Asked most often

Can I sign without an account?

No. Signing a document needs an account. Without one you can still open a signing request someone sent you.

What does it cost?

ParaSign Community is free, forever, and no card is required. It covers 2 signatures a month. The first paid plan is Firm at €29 a month excl. btw (€35.09 incl.), which includes 100 signatures a month and 500 transfers a month. Every plan gets the same encryption, the same post-quantum signatures and the same public proof log.

Where does my data live?

Your documents live on servers at Hetzner Nuremberg, Germany, and they sit there as ciphertext. The relay never sees plaintext and never holds a private key, except in the hosted signing ceremony on /v1. They sit under EU law, and no US provider is in the data path. Email goes out via Resend, as /privacy sets out.
