8 tools that solve a similar problem. Compare what each costs and what it covers.
E-signatures with three free documents a month
SignWell gives three free documents every month rather than a time-limited trial, a plainer signing tool than PandaDoc for somebody who is not building proposals.
Open source signing you can host yourself
Documenso is open source and can be self-hosted, an option for anyone who wants signing infrastructure they control rather than PandaDoc's hosted account.
Sign and edit PDFs with a free plan
DocHub edits and signs an existing PDF on a real free plan, lighter than building a proposal from scratch in PandaDoc's template editor.
E-signatures with unlimited users on every plan
signNow at $8 gives unlimited users on every plan, so the cost does not climb as more people need to sign.
Contracts and invoices for a solo freelancer
Indy from $13 with a free tier covers contracts and invoices for one freelancer, without the proposal machinery.
Unlimited signatures on the cheapest plan
Xodo Sign at $10 puts unlimited signatures on its cheapest plan, signing without proposals wrapped around it.
Contracts, proposals and invoices in one place
Bonsai adds invoicing to the contracts and proposals, a fuller freelance business toolkit than PandaDoc's document focus alone.
The e-signature everyone already accepts
Docusign is the signature almost every brand already recognizes, the safer pick if all you do is countersign what somebody else sent rather than build proposals.
