PandaDoc offers 4 pricing tiers: Free eSign, Essentials, Business, Enterprise. Standard paid plans include Free eSign at $0/user/month, Essentials at $35/user/month, Business at $65/user/month. The Essentials plan is general users and teams.

Compared to other contract management software, PandaDoc is positioned at the budget-friendly price point.

PandaDoc is a document automation and eSignature platform that combines contract creation, approval workflows, and CRM integrations in a user-friendly package. While not a full enterprise CLM system like DocuSign or Ironclad, PandaDoc serves sales teams and small-to-medium businesses that need efficient proposal and contract management without enterprise complexity.

Pricing is transparent with published rates starting at $19 per user per month (billed annually) for the Essentials plan. The Business plan at $49/user/month is the most popular option, offering CRM integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, and Pipedrive, plus workflow automation. Annual billing saves up to 46% compared to monthly payments.

Implementation is quick (about 3 hours for API integration) with no major setup fees, making it significantly faster and cheaper to deploy than enterprise CLM systems. However, recent pricing changes have reduced features on existing tiers, and some advanced capabilities like API access and bulk sending require Enterprise pricing or paid add-ons.

02 What are the hidden costs of PandaDoc?

Hidden costs include API access (Enterprise only), bulk sending add-ons, premium support fees, and advanced integration costs. Recent pricing changes have also reduced features on existing tiers without lowering prices, removing pricing tables, invoicing, and connected payments from lower plans. Some users report 'sticker shock' when upgrading to access advanced features.

03 Does PandaDoc have a free plan?

Yes, PandaDoc offers a Free eSign plan that allows up to 5 documents per month with unlimited eSignatures. This is suitable for very light usage but most businesses will need a paid plan. A 14-day free trial is available for paid plans.

04 How long does PandaDoc implementation take?

Basic PandaDoc setup is quick and requires minimal implementation. For API integration, implementation typically takes about 3 hours on average. The platform is designed for fast deployment, with most teams up and running within days rather than weeks or months.

05 Is there a minimum user requirement for PandaDoc?

PandaDoc does not enforce a strict minimum user requirement for most plans. However, the platform is priced per user, making it more cost-effective for teams of 5+ users compared to flat-rate alternatives like ContractWorks for larger teams.

06 How does PandaDoc compare to DocuSign and Ironclad?

PandaDoc at $49/user/month is significantly more affordable than DocuSign CLM ($150/user/month average) and Ironclad ($30,000+ annually). However, it's positioned as a document automation and eSignature platform rather than full enterprise CLM, making it better suited for sales teams and SMBs than complex legal contract workflows.
