SigPDF vs PandaDoc
PandaDoc is a document platform for sales teams: proposals, quotes, contracts, tracking and payments. SigPDF does one thing: it lets you sign a PDF in your browser without uploading it. Here is how they compare on price, features and privacy.

What PandaDoc is built for
PandaDoc is aimed at teams that produce documents: a salesperson builds a proposal or quote from a template, pulls in prices and client details, sends it, gets notified when the client opens it, collects signatures from several people, and on the Business plan takes payment in the same document and syncs everything with a CRM such as Salesforce or HubSpot. Signing is one step in that workflow. If that is your day-to-day work, PandaDoc's per-user price buys real time savings that SigPDF cannot offer.
What SigPDF is built for
Many people search for a PandaDoc alternative because they only need the last step: a client, landlord or employer sent a PDF and it needs a signature. SigPDF opens that PDF in your browser, lets you fill its form fields, place a drawn or typed signature, initials, dates and text, and download the signed file. There is no document library to manage and the file is not uploaded to our servers. You can try the whole editor for free and only need a plan to download the signed PDF.
Cost for a typical signer
A person who signs a few received documents a month would pay €24.99 a year for SigPDF, or €2.99 on monthly billing. PandaDoc Starter costs $228 a year per user on annual billing, and $35 a month on monthly billing. PandaDoc's free eSign plan covers about five documents a month, which suits someone who occasionally sends a document for signature. For signing what you receive, you do not need PandaDoc's creation and tracking tools, so paying per seat for them makes little sense.
Privacy and records
Because PandaDoc tracks views and routes documents between people, every document lives on its servers along with a history of who opened and signed it. That history is useful evidence in a sales process. SigPDF works the other way round: the document never leaves your device, and there is no provider-held history. For a confidential contract, a medical form or an HR document you only need to sign and return, that is often the better trade.
Which one should you use?
- Choose PandaDoc if you create proposals, quotes or contracts, send them to clients, want to know when they are opened, or collect payment on acceptance.
- Choose SigPDF if you sign PDFs other people send you and want a low flat price with no upload.
