Which one is for you
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
Pick Signaturely if
- Fits if you send a few documents a month and use Google Drive or Dropbox
- Works for a single user who wants an audit log on each document
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you stay free: 1 document a month after the trial
- Pricey if you send often, since unlimited requests start at $50 a user billed monthly
- Skip it if you want phone or desktop apps, as none are listed
- Watch out: Personal caps you at 5 requests and 1 template a month
- Watch out: only the 7-day trial gives unlimited sending without paying
How we grade them
| 2.0GPAPandaDocFair | 2.0GPASignaturelyFair | |
|---|---|---|
| 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. | D$25 a month for 5 signature requests a month, and unlimited sending only on Business at $50 a user. That's well above the category's middle of $15. |
| 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. | CA free account after the 7-day trial allows 1 document a month. It's a cap you'll reach in the first week. |
| Features | 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. | CSignature requests, templates, an audit trail, reminders, team management, branding and an API. Gaps: Personal gets 1 template, and team and branding features need Business. |
| 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. A web app where you build your own templates. |
| 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, with Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive and Box storage connections and an API. No phone or desktop app is listed. |

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.
