At a glance
| CodeTwo | Email Signature Magic | |
|---|---|---|
| Pricing (as published) | Per user per month, from about $1.22 on a yearly plan at 10 to 25 users, falling with volume; 10-license minimum; 14-day free trial. | Solo is $15 a year, and you can build it before you pay. Starter is $0.69 per member per month (10-member minimum); Growth is $0.89 per member per month. |
| How the signature is applied | Server-side (added after you send), an Outlook add-in, or both. With server-side, the sender does not see the signature while composing. | Written into each member's Gmail signature setting, so it shows while composing. |
| Gmail / Google Workspace | We found no Gmail support on CodeTwo's site. It said in June 2024 that Google Workspace support was in development. | Yes: connect once and the signature is written to each member's Gmail and kept current. |
| Microsoft 365 / Outlook | Yes, this is its focus: Outlook on Windows, Mac, web and mobile, plus Exchange Online. | An Outlook add-in that a Microsoft 365 admin installs once adds each person's signature to new messages, replies and forwards in Outlook for Windows, Mac and the web (and recent mobile versions). It is newer than our Gmail connection. Copy-and-paste also works. |
| Real estate fields | No real estate features found. License numbers are possible through generic custom attributes. | Yes: license number, MLS ID, designations and Equal Housing as structured fields. |
| Org structure | Directory sync from Entra ID with conditional placeholders and role delegation. | Organization, then office, then team, then member; templates and brand cascade down that tree. |
| Campaign banners and analytics | Yes: banner scheduling, URL tracking and Google Analytics integration. | Scheduled offers and banners, no analytics dashboard. |
