signNow vs PandaDoc

The short answer

If your documents already exist and you just need them signed, signNow costs a fraction of PandaDoc and doesn't charge for extra users, though it counts signature invites. If you build proposals and quotes, want pricing tables and buyer analytics, or sync deals with a CRM, PandaDoc is the stronger tool and costs more per seat.

The deciding number is volume. signNow's allowance belongs to the subscription and is shared across its free seats, and each invite past it costs $0.96 on Business, $1.80 on Business Premium and $3.60 on Enterprise. A team sending 300 agreements a year on Business would add about $192 in extra invites to its $96 plan. PandaDoc doesn't count signatures on Starter or Business, so its higher seat price buys a predictable bill.

What five people pay

Five people on signNow Business pay $8 a month billed annually for the account, $96 a year, because extra users are free, but they share the plan's invite allowance and pay $0.96 for each invite over it. Business Premium, with bulk send and payments, is $18 a month for the account. Five seats on PandaDoc Starter cost $95 a month billed annually, $1,140 a year; Business, with unlimited templates, in-person signing and bulk send, is $245 a month, $2,940 a year.

Where signNow is stronger

• Price. Even signNow's Enterprise plan, at $30 a month billed annually for the account, costs less than one PandaDoc Business seat.
• Free users. Add the whole office without paying per seat; usage is shared across free seats.
• Unlimited templates on the cheapest plan, where PandaDoc caps Starter at 5.
• Signing links and bulk send on a low tier. Business Premium includes both.

Where PandaDoc is stronger

• Building the document. A drag-and-drop editor with rich media, a content library, pricing tables and custom quotes.
• No invite counting. Starter and up include unlimited document uploads and e-signatures; signNow charges for invites past the allowance.
• A permanent free plan with 5 documents a month.
• Sales tools. CRM integrations, approval workflows, deal rooms and recipient analytics on Business.
• Signer languages. PandaDoc's recipient view comes in 16 languages, Spanish included, from Starter.

Which to choose, by situation

• A small office signing a few documents a week on a tight budget: signNow Business.
• A sales team sending designed proposals and quotes: PandaDoc Business.
• A team that sends one agreement to many people: signNow Business Premium, unless you need PandaDoc's editor anyway.
• A business with high signing volume: compare signNow's per-invite overage with PandaDoc's per-seat price before you choose.

Where SignMaster fits

SignMaster sits between them: a signing tool like signNow, without an invite count. Crew is $49 a month for 5 people with unlimited envelopes and templates, bulk send, in-person signing on the web and in the iPhone and iPad app, and your branding. It isn't a proposal builder and doesn't take payments.
