All deals and documents in one place

Similar to Subskribe, PandaDoc functions as a central hub for most of your deals and sales processes.

Physical and digital products can be added to the product library, allowing order to be compiled quickly using onboard CPQ tools. When it’s time to prepare a quote, teams can consolidate the order into a customized template and send the document to customers for finalization and signoff.

When CRM and billing processes are connected through robust integrations, PandaDoc becomes a centerpiece that consolidates document generation, quote-to-cash processes, and revenue management all under one roof.

It’s just one reason (of many!) why RevOps teams love the PandaDoc platform!

Intuitive and easy to use

PandaDoc streamlines operations by offering simple and easy-to-use automation tools.

Most reps only need to worry about building orders and coordinating deals with customers. Leads, managers, and department heads can manage the product library, configure quote rules, and design native, outstanding documents in the editor.

This division of labor keeps things simple for most users while allowing for flexibility and control when building a deal. Onboarding is easy. Combined with rules-based approval workflows, sales teams have everything they need to create an excellent customer experience.

Flexible, scalable, adaptable

Subscription-based and cloud-based businesses scale up and down as customers churn. Just like Subskribe, PandaDoc offers deals to help SaaS companies hold onto customers and stabilize revenue streams through subscription plans and recurring billing.

With PanadDoc, subscription plans can be added to product catalogs and compiled into customized quotes. Recurring payments set up through PandaDoc are facilitated by the Stripe app.

Combined with dashboards and management tools in PandaDoc, companies can measure success via metrics while complying with standard financial reporting practices.

"Upgrading our subscription to take advantage of PandaDoc CPQ for HubSpot has been well worth it. I had tried other CPQ options and they were all subpar. I’m super happy with our choice and can’t stress enough how much we needed this solution."

Frequently asked questions

What makes PandaDoc different from Subskribe?

PanadDoc is an all-in-one document automation platform focused on proposals, contracts, quotes, and e-signatures.

Subskribe is designed specifically for SaaS companies who need advanced CPQ, billing, and revenue recognition (all of which can also be done in PandaDoc!).

However, while the scope of Subskribe’s services are built around its CPQ, PandaDoc offers document solutions that can help sales teams manage documents and close a broad selection of deals much faster.

Does PandaDoc have CPQ capabilities like Subskribe?

We do. PandaDoc offers CPQ tools like pricing tables, product catalogs, automated approvals, and rules-based workflows. We also integrate directly with Stripe to handle subscription billing and recurring revenue generation.

Similar to Subskribe, electronic signatures are provided on-platform (no integrations required), so deals can be created, offered, and finalized in one collaborative workspace.

Does PandaDoc integrate with other business tools?

PandaDoc integrates with dozens of apps, including CRMs, productivity tools, and payment systems.

While our CPQ can stand alone, we’ve taken extra steps to ensure an effortless integration with both HubSpot and Salesforce. Users on those platforms will enjoy seamless data syncing for an even better quote-to-cash process.

How does PandaDoc pricing compare to Subskribe?

Subskribe’s pricing is based on the product you choose, the usage term, the seats, and other factors.

However, they don’t list pricing directly on their website, so it’s difficult to draw a complete comparison.

Here’s what we know:

Subskribe is designed for enterprise-level SaaS companies who need a very specific financial and sales toolkit. Smaller businesses with simplified needs simply won’t be a good fit for Subskribe CPQ.
PandaDoc offers flexible pricing plans that cater to both small businesses and enterprise teams. While our CPQ solutions are only available on our Enterprise plan, we don’t have a minimum seat count, so even smaller sales teams can gain access to those powerful features.

For smaller businesses, pricing is straightforward and visible on our pricing page. Enterprise plans have more flexibility and require a custom solution.
