    Chose PandaDoc
    I thought DocuSign was ok, I didn't like that their free package was so restricted so I couldn't get a could feel of the service without signing up for the [monthly] trial. It makes PandaDoc seem generous to have such a nice free package. I was less a fan of their color scheme …

    More expensive than HelloSign or eversign. But cheaper than DocuSign.

    Like the feature you can add videos on documents.

    To be honest the competition is quite tight but where PandaDoc has excelled was in the integrations with sales CRM/pipeline software and how easy it is to convert a sales lead into a contract, and automatically feeding this information back into your sales pipeline to retain …

    Chose PandaDoc
    Being able to handle the context of a document from the editor is way better than only having the ability to upload a document that you have made in another system, like MS Word or Google Docs.

    EverSign is well-suited for smaller organizations needing to sign any volume of documents, but is unable to afford more expensive options, like DocuSign. The functionality and options are impressive for how cost-effective it is compared to better-known alternatives. If you are sending many larger documents, EverSign may not be the best option. It can be difficult to review the documents in EverSign itself, so it's better suited to signing a larger document already reviewed off the platform. Organizations that can afford to pay the higher price for a more efficient option may want to do so.

    As a small business, the polished, professional look of every PandaDoc document never fails to impress our clients. It's seamless and easy to collect e-signatures, a huge plus, as many e-signature software services provide only that feature for a cost, without the other features PandaDoc has. I am disappointed that the pricing tiers recently changed, so now you get less value for the price. PandaDoc has been great for sending proposals to our clients which include the terms of agreement and the price we quote them, with space at the end for them to sign upon approval. This signals to us that they've accepted and we proceed by sending them an invoice (through another software). Ideally, PandaDoc would automatically follow up or simultaneously send an invoice as well - but this is a Business Plan feature now. But love that we can track when prospects open our documents. We used to pay $35/month for the Essentials Plan, which no longer exists and has become the Starter Plan, which no longer includes unlimited templates or pricing tables - those are Business Plan features. So that downgrade in value was disappointing as it's not a cheap service for a small business, and I'm considering moving to their free plan.

    Pros
    Stack Holdings GmbH
    • Ease of use. Unlike Docusign, when you create text fields on your doc, it allows you to enter the text into the box directly, whereas I have to click on the field and enter the text on the right hand side panel in Docusign.
    • Speed. The documents load pretty quickly.
    • Notification. It informs you every time a signer has signed the doc.

    • Allows clients to remotely execute documents.
    • Tracks the progress of document execution.
    • Emails clients to remind them to sign documents so we don't have to follow up.
    • Emails us when documents have been fully executed.
    • Provides an easy-to use interface to place signatures, dates, and other information on our forms.

    Cons

    • Using the template was a little hard to understand when setting it up for users to sign.
    • If you don't know where to click, logging in can be a little confusing.

    • The automatic snapping of added fields in templates could be toggleable to more easily place fields where they need to be
    • When fields are duplicated, the generated Field IDs can get long (e.g. Text_1, Text_1_1, Text_1_1_1, etc)
    • Loading screens are sometimes long

    The reason I gave it a rating of 7 is because it's probable, but not for sure. This is because there are a few little things we don't love about pandadoc. Mostly that there is not conditional logic such as: they must either fill this field out OR this one. Also it's a little pricey. But we'll probably stay because it's good enough and a pain to switch to something new

    Once you get the hang of it, it's very easy to use. There can be a slightly steep learning curve to get fully in on the system. The new editor v2 has really improved usability and allows us to collaborate on documents simultaneously. Once the templates and library items are set up, a new document, whether it be a sales or HR document, takes very little time to complete.

    The documents load quickly for the most part but sometimes if there are larger documents with a high number of variables it could take a bit longer to get the document to show up. Most of the time the document comes on the screen relatively quickly allowing for quick access to documents to be edited and sent out.

    Recently I could not upload a pdf to a contract - support was very responsive and easy to work with. They got back to me the next day with an apparent fix - however when I opened the document nothing had changed. I then could not respond to the rep who was helping me because it was a "no-reply address", the problem still has not been solved and we had to make alternate arrangements to get this to the client. Never had it happen before and was only with this one contract.

    DocuSign is another alternative. However, it is much more expensive. For a small business we tried to avid working with companies that are more expensive. DocuSign is more well known too, and perhaps has more features. However we can find other alternatives to these features. Like sorting and uploading these documents manually. However for a larger company, this would be something to take into account.

    We used Dropbox back when it was still HelloSign. At the time, new templates were very hard to create. We had to upload a PDF and then add the fields from there. With PandaDoc, we are able to drag and drop the text, images, logos, and fields we need easily. This has saved our team an immense amount of time.

    • Our business has received a positive impact by saving time on creating, editing, and sending documents/quotes to clients.
    • We also have had greater employee efficiency due to a faster and more seamless proposal and document management process.
    • We have received a higher close rate as well considering the user is able to e-sign the document, pay, and complete the quote seamlessly.
