Proposals and contracts with e-signature built in
PandaDoc is a document builder first and a signature tool second, which is the right order for anybody sending sponsorship proposals rather than just countersigning someone else's paper. Templates, a content library and pricing tables live in the editor. The free plan signs documents but will not build the proposals, and that is the half worth paying for.
E-signatures with unlimited users on every plan
signNow sends documents for signature and charges by the plan rather than by the seat, so adding a collaborator does not change the bill. That is the whole reason a small team picks it over the incumbent. Templates, bulk sending and an API that will fire signature requests from your own software are all there; the interface is plainer than the market leader's and costs a quarter as much.
Our note
Against Docusign this is a quarter of the price for the same job, and the unlimited-users line is what makes it cheaper again for a team. The reason to pay Docusign instead is that clients recognise the name on the email.
