PandaDoc suits a freelancer or agency that writes the proposal, quotes the price and then collects the signature in one document. The free plan creates 5 documents a month with the rich media drag and drop editor, real-time tracking and 24/7 email and chat support. Starter costs $19 per seat per month billed annually and lifts the cap to unlimited document uploads and e-signatures, but still allows up to 5 templates. Pricing tables and payment collection are part of the editor. The jump to Business at $49 per seat per month billed annually is where custom quotes, CRM integrations, custom branding, a content library, deal rooms and approval workflows arrive, and bulk send and web forms need usage credits on top. PandaDoc offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card and connects to ChatGPT and Claude through MCP, a feature it labels beta. For plain contract signing it costs more than BoldSign or SignWell; for proposal-heavy work it replaces two tools.
