Frequently asked questions

Aflux is a unified document workflow platform built for small and medium-sized businesses. It combines e-signatures, bulk email campaigns, and QR code management in one platform — with the flexibility to connect your own cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, or Dropbox) instead of being locked into proprietary storage.

Aflux eliminates tool sprawl by replacing multiple disconnected services (signing tools, email platforms, QR generators, file storage) with a single unified platform. It also removes vendor lock-in by letting you keep files in your own cloud storage, and offers flat transparent pricing instead of per-user or per-envelope fees.

Enterprise document processing is typically handled by platforms like DocuSign, Adobe Sign, PandaDoc, and Aflux. While DocuSign and Adobe Sign focus primarily on e-signatures at scale, Aflux takes a broader approach by combining e-signatures with bulk email and QR code management. For SMBs that need enterprise-grade features without enterprise complexity, Aflux offers all three capabilities in one platform with plans starting free.

Most document platforms — DocuSign, PandaDoc, HelloSign — store your files on their own servers. Aflux is different: it integrates directly with your existing cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, Dropbox) so your documents stay under your control. If you ever leave Aflux, your files remain exactly where they are. There's also a built-in storage option for users who prefer simplicity.

Popular DocuSign alternatives include HelloSign (Dropbox Sign), PandaDoc, Adobe Sign, SignNow, and Aflux. Each has different strengths: HelloSign is Dropbox-centric, PandaDoc focuses on proposals, Adobe Sign targets enterprise. Aflux differentiates by bundling e-signatures with bulk email and QR codes in one platform, using your own cloud storage, and offering flat EU-based pricing starting free.

European document processing options include Aflux (Romania/EU), Scrive (Sweden), Yousign (France), and Universign (France). Aflux stands out as a unified platform covering e-signatures, bulk email, and QR codes — built by Atek Software, an EU company operating since 2004. All data processing follows GDPR standards by design.

Aflux integrates natively with Google Drive, allowing you to store signed documents, email attachments, and generated files directly in your Drive. Unlike other platforms that only export to Google Drive, Aflux uses it as a primary storage backend — meaning your documents live in Drive from the start, not as an afterthought. OneDrive and Dropbox are also supported.

Aflux offers a free tier with core functionality across all modules (e-signatures, bulk email, QR codes). The Pro plan is €18/month and the Business plan is €100/month. All plans include every module — there's no per-feature gating or per-user pricing. Enterprise plans with custom terms are also available.
