It does the same (more or less), but different.

It does work with any certificate which is given by a certification authority.
WEB.DE e.g. gives free certificates if you have a free mail account there. A
proper certificate does cost some money; no idea how much !

Can't tell you about number of users, sorry !

For example:
in TB:           Account.Properties.Options: Enable S/MIME
in mail editor:  Privacynable S/MIME
in Adress Book:  any entry, Properties.Certificate
in Adress Book:  Trusted Root CA and Intermediate CA
