Different tools for different jobs
The most important thing to understand is that these tools aim at different problems:
- PandaDoc is a document-automation and proposal platform. Much of its value — pricing tables, CRM integrations, approval workflows, quoting — lives on the Business plan at $49/user/month. If you use those, it can be worth it.
- SignovaX does one job well: upload a PDF, place fields, send it, and get a signed document with an audit trail — for $4.99/month per account, not per seat.
If you don't need proposals and CRM automation, PandaDoc's per-seat pricing means you're paying for a lot you won't use.

Frequently asked questions
Is SignovaX cheaper than PandaDoc?
Yes. SignovaX Pro is $4.99/month (billed annually) or $6.99 month-to-month for unlimited documents on a single account. PandaDoc's entry paid plan, Starter, is $19/user/month billed annually ($35 month-to-month), and its Business plan is $49/user/month billed annually — both priced per seat.
What is PandaDoc's free plan?
PandaDoc's Free eSign plan is $0 and allows up to 5 documents per month (60 per year) with up to 2 recipients per document, plus a basic audit trail. SignovaX's free plan allows 3 documents per month with up to 3 signers per document, a full audit trail, and a SHA-256 integrity hash.
What's the main difference between SignovaX and PandaDoc?
PandaDoc is a broader document-automation platform built around sales proposals, quoting, pricing tables, CRM integrations, and approval workflows. SignovaX is focused on the core e-signature job — upload, send, sign, audit trail. If you only need documents signed, SignovaX gives you that at a fraction of PandaDoc's per-seat price; if you need proposal and CRM automation, PandaDoc does more.
When is PandaDoc the better choice?
PandaDoc is the stronger option if you're a sales team that needs proposals, quotes, pricing tables, CRM integration (such as HubSpot or Salesforce), payment collection, and workflow automation in one tool — and you're willing to pay per seat for it.
