Why teams switch

Everything you’d expect — and the parts you couldn’t get before

Ready to go from day one

Sigil ships with a polished, pre-built signature template — use it as-is, or recreate your current signature exactly with the drag-and-drop designer or HTML editor.

You can prove it’s working

Most signature tools can’t tell you who’s actually covered. Sigil shows per-mailbox adoption and a never-applied list, so nothing slips through.

No mail-flow surprises

Signatures are applied in the compose window, so senders see their own signature as they write — Sigil never reroutes or stamps your outbound mail.

Change it in seconds

Rebrand, fix a disclaimer or launch a campaign and publish — the next message every user composes carries the change. No redeploy, no waiting.

One simple price

£0.70 per licensed mailbox per month with every feature included — no tiers, no feature gates, and shared mailboxes are free.

Privacy by default

Read-only directory access and click-count-only analytics — no IP addresses, no recipient identities, no message content, ever.

Ready to send

A polished signature, ready to go

Sigil comes with a professionally designed signature template, pre-packaged and ready from the start — so you’re not building from a blank page. Prefer a seamless switch? Recreate your current signature exactly with the drag-and-drop designer or full HTML editor, then modernise it whenever you like.

Readysignature included — use it as-is or tailor
Switching is simple

Move from Exclaimer in three steps

  1. 01

    Start your trial

    Grant admin consent and deploy the Sigil add-in through Microsoft 365 Integrated apps. No card required.

  2. 02

    Set up your signature

    Use Sigil’s ready-made template, or recreate your current signature exactly with the drag-and-drop designer or HTML editor — so the switch is seamless.

  3. 03

    Switch it on

    Roll out to a pilot group with assignment rules, confirm adoption in the dashboard, then turn off the old tool.

Switching questions

Moving over, answered

Will recipients notice the switch?

Only if you want them to. Sigil ships with a polished ready-made signature, and its designer and HTML editor let you recreate your current signature exactly — so you can make the switch seamless for recipients, or refresh the design at the same time.

Do I have to change my mail flow?

No. Sigil applies signatures client-side, inside Outlook as messages are composed. There are no connectors to configure and nothing rerouting your outbound mail.

Can I run both during migration?

Yes. Because Sigil is client-side and assignment rules let you pilot with a group first, you can trial it alongside your existing tool and cut over when you’re ready.
