How we grade them
| 2.0GPAPandaDocFair | 2.2GPASignableFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | 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. | C£40 a month billed yearly, plus VAT, for unlimited users and 300 envelopes a year. Split five ways, that's around this category's middle per head once pounds become dollars. One person alone pays the full £40, and going over the allowance costs a fee per envelope. |
| Free plan and trial | 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. | CNo free plan, but a 14-day free trial with no card needed. Pay As You Go skips the subscription, from £2.60 an envelope, which suits the odd document but isn't free. |
| Features | CThe editor, Word import, Stripe payments and, on Business, quotes, pricing tables, approvals and analytics. That's a lot. But bulk send, forms and recipient verification are add-ons priced through sales, where plain signing apps include them. | CUnlimited users and templates, advanced signatures, an eSeal, two-factor checks for signers, reminders, signing order and AI field placement. The gaps the listing names: bulk send, teams, the API and qualified signatures start on Business, sold through sales. |
| Ease of use | 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. | CNo store rating on record, and no phone app. It's a web app where you set up templates, users and roles before it runs smoothly. |
| Platforms and integrations | 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. | BWeb only, but it connects to Google Drive, Google Docs, Dropbox, HubSpot, Slack, Zapier and Make. No phone or desktop app is listed, and text-message checks for signers work in the UK only. |
| Best for | proposals and quotes that get signed and paid | UK teams with many senders and few envelopes |
