Which one is for you
Pick Conga if
- Fits if your company already runs Conga quotes or contracts
- Works for regulated teams that need regional data handling
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want to try signing today, as there is no self-serve sign-up
- Watch out: no price is published, only a request form
- Too light on detail for a small team, since e-signature is one part of a larger suite
- Not for you if you want to buy signing alone, because it is usually bought with CPQ or CLM
Pick PandaDoc if
- Fits if you send proposals and quotes and want to see when the client opens them
- Works for deals where the client should pay the deposit as they sign
Look elsewhere if
- Pricey if you want pricing tables, auto reminders or analytics, as they need Business at $49 a head
- Skip it if you just need contracts signed, since plain signing apps do that for far less
- Tight if you send to big lists, as bulk send, forms and recipient checks are add-ons priced through sales
- Tight if you're on Starter, which keeps the free plan's 5-template limit
- Watch out: SSO, custom roles and webhooks need Enterprise through sales, and there's no Android or desktop app
How we grade them
| 1.6GPACongaWeak | 2.0GPAPandaDocFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is published, only a request form, so it sits in the middle with no evidence either way. | D$57 a month for three on Starter, billed yearly ($19 a head, $35 monthly), for unlimited documents but only 5 templates. What you'd pick PandaDoc for, pricing tables, auto reminders and analytics, needs Business: $147 a month for three, four times this category's middle. |
| Free plan and trial | FNo free plan or trial is listed, and the site points to demos. | CFree eSign covers 5 documents a month, 2 recipients each and 5 templates, with no integrations. Fine for a freelancer now and then; a team sending 20 a month is past it in the first week. The 14-day Business trial allows 50 documents. |
| Features | CSigning with several signer checks, plus CLM, CPQ and document automation. Signing is one product inside a bigger suite. | CThe editor, Word import, Stripe payments and, on Business, quotes, pricing tables, approvals and analytics. But bulk send, forms and recipient verification are add-ons priced through sales, where plain signing apps include them. |
| Ease of use | CNo store rating on record, and a suite sold through sales needs setup first. | CThere's an iPhone app but no store rating on record. The editor does a lot, and there's real setting up before it pays off: templates, pricing tables and a content library to build. |
| Platforms and integrations | CWeb only, with no integrations named on the pages that were read. | BWeb and iPhone, with HubSpot, Pipedrive, Microsoft Dynamics, Stripe, QuickBooks, Slack and Canva, Salesforce as an add-on, an API and links to ChatGPT and Claude. No Android or desktop app is listed. |
| Best for | e-signing inside a quote and contract suite | proposals and quotes that get signed and paid |

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
