"PandaDoc is one of the most straightforward signature management tools I’ve ever used. The editor is quite simple to use and offers flexibility to compose and customize very sophisticated documents. It also price scales in a friendly way for early-stage startups. Products like Docusign, for instance, were prohibitive when we started our business. But now, we’re scaling with PandaDoc."

"I love that we have cut several steps from our process. We used to edit a word document, send it out via Docusign for contracts, then send an invoice from QuickBooks. Now we do it all in one step which is much faster."

Frequently asked questions

How does PandaDoc pricing compare to Docusign’s?

Both PandaDoc Business and Docusign for business cost $65 per user/month. However, Docusign pricing does not include additional fees that may apply, while PandaDoc is committed to transparent pricing.

Another important factor when comparing PandaDoc vs. Docusign pricing is envelopes (or the number of documents each licensed user can send). PandaDoc provides unlimited envelopes for each user under our PandaDoc Business plan. Docusign Business includes 100 envelopes a year — but then charges an additional fee per envelope for every document sent after 100. Docusign pricing per envelope varies depending on the details of your plan.

How can PandaDoc API help my business?

PandaDoc API (application programming interface) allows your business to use PandaDoc tools in your existing digital workflows such as CRM, ERP, financial tools, and file management solutions.

That means your business can start using PandaDoc capabilities for editing, signing, and sending documents embedded right into the platforms it already uses — creating a single, connected ecosystem that includes PandaDoc document management. Implementation does require some coding, but we’ll provide the step-by-step instructions needed for your team to get up and running ASAP. On average, it takes just three hours to implement PandaDoc API into existing business platforms.

For more information, see our PandaDoc API page.

Does PandaDoc integrate with my other business tools?

Yes. PandaDoc cooperates with many of the industry’s leading business tools, including HubSpot, Salesforce, Quickbooks, Zapier, Google, Canva, Pipedrive, and many others. 

  • CLM (contract lifecycle management). PandaDoc syncs with CRM solutions like Salesforce and HubSpot to create frictionless deal cycles, where customer data, catalog details, and resulting transactions are seamlessly handed off between programs. This helps keep records spotless and provides a superior buying experience to your customers without having to switch back and forth between different solutions.
  • Payments. It’s easy to integrate PandaDoc with leading point-of-sale solutions like PayPal, Stripe, and Square so your customers can pay exactly how they prefer: directly from the document you’ve sent them. This not only makes transactions easier for buyers, but also gets your business paid ASAP.
  • PandaDoc CPQ for HubSpot.  In 2024, we launched PandaDoc CPQ for HubSpot, the first fully-native configure, price, quote solution for HubSpot. This integration allows users to access and use all of PandaDoc while in HubSpot to manage sales — everything from document creation, enabling deal rooms, collaborative redlining, collecting payments, and beyond. For more information, visit our PandaDoc CPQ for HubSpot page.
