The PandaDoc bloat tax
PandaDoc bundles proposals, CPQ, and document automation with e-signatures. If you only need signatures, you’re overpaying for features you don’t use.
You pay for the full suite
PandaDoc Business: $49/user/mo includes proposals, CPQ, content library, and e-signatures bundled together.
But you only need signatures
Your team uses PandaDoc as an e-signature tool. The proposal builder, CPQ engine, and analytics go unused.
No identity verification
PandaDoc doesn’t offer ID verification, biometric checks, or government ID scanning. You’d need a separate vendor.
No WhatsApp delivery
PandaDoc is email-only. In markets where WhatsApp dominates (LATAM, parts of Asia), this limits your completion rates.
AllSign: pay only for what you sign
AllSign is built exclusively for e-signatures and identity verification. $0.50 per document, $2.00 for ID verification, $3.50 for biometric checks. No proposal tools, no CPQ — just enterprise-grade signatures with transparent pricing.
Real example: 10 users focused on e-signatures
PandaDoc Business $49 × 10 users × 12 months
Pro $35×10×12 + 2,400 docs × $0.50

Document suite vs signature tool
PandaDoc is powerful for creating proposals and managing the document lifecycle. But for dedicated e-signatures, AllSign offers more security features at better pricing.
Right tool for the right job
If your team creates proposals and needs document automation, PandaDoc is a solid choice. But if your primary need is legally-binding e-signatures with identity verification, AllSign gives you enterprise-grade features without the bloat.
Plan Comparison
PandaDoc charges per user for a full document suite. AllSign charges per document with stamp-based pricing — you only pay for signatures you use.
Stamp-Based Pricing: Pay for Signatures, Not Software
Unlike PandaDoc’s bundled per-user pricing, AllSign lets you pay per document with transparent stamp costs. No unused features in your bill.
Total Cost: Signatures Only
If you’re using PandaDoc just for e-signatures, here’s what switching to AllSign saves.
