CocoSign: PandaDoc Alternative That Emphasizes eSignature

In addition to eSignature, PandaDoc provides other services like creating proposals, sending quotes, collecting payment. With so many focuses, it can overlook some features and fail to address the demand of customers for electronic signatures.

On the other hand, CocoSign is a dedicated eSignature tool for SMBs and professionals. It automates the whole document signing process by offering a number of features lacking in PandaDoc. For example:

  • PandaDoc has limited eSignature editing options: only 3 colors available, fewer fonts, fixed position and slope. But CocoSign covers all custom needs. You can choose any color, font, position, slope, at will.
  • With PandaDoc’s template feature, you can only create a template and use it for once, but unable to save reusable templates for future use. However, it’s all available within CocoSign.
  • After completing a document, PandaDoc does not allow you to make a copy and use it a second time. Instead, CocoSign users can create as many copies as they like.

PandaDoc Customer Review

Lack of Features

"Some limited copying functions in the new editor that prevent duplicating a document as before."

Lack of Features

"As with any free plan, the downside is lack of features. For example, the inability to save reusable templates."

Lack of Features

"The software is very difficult to use and work with to manage contracts or quotes. The table creation and editing functions for very basic features are frustrating on any browser. Trying to save and recreate documents or templates also does not work well."

Speed

CocoSign Removes Lagging in PandaDoc

As an all-round document infrastructure, PandaDoc is burdened with so many functions that it prolongs the document handling and signing procedure. When users only have to sign a document, they might be forced to spend extra time on loading other services.

As a simpler and faster PandaDoc alternative, CocoSign costs you 80% less time in loading documents, adding fields, and sending documents for signing. This web service is designed to let you sign more documents with less time.

Pricing

CocoSign Has a More SMB-friendly Pricing

It’s quite clear that PandaDoc’s business plan charges almost twice that of CocoSign, however, it does not offer much as it costs. For customers who have a great demand for electronic signatures, the pricing of CocoSign is obviously more reasonable.

With services designed for businesses of smaller size, CocoSign is dedicated to providing complete and professional services related to document signing. It enables a larger space of team collaboration and more flexible eSignature management that can be overlooked by PandaDoc.

Comments on PandaDoc Pricing

Expensive for SMBs

"The price. This app withholds key functions from its base subscription tiers in a way I've never seen before."

Verified PandaDoc reviews on G2

Expensive for SMBs

"Price and billing. It is too expensive for what it is. There are too many free versions to justify their paid prices, including their own. The only advantage I see to the paid version is saving a template, which is not necessary given the opportunity for workarounds."

Ease of use

CocoSign Has a More Intuitive UX Design

Pandadoc

Bulky PandaDoc Interface

PandaDoc’s difficult-to-use interface creates much trouble for its users. It makes eSignature complicated with a complicated editor. People also complain about the bewildering workflow when using PandaDoc to send signature requests. As a result, it takes time and increases your burden.

Slick CocoSign Interface

Quite the opposite, CocoSign tackles all the problems users come across from document uploading to effective management of eSignatures with a simple and responsive interface. From the dashboard, editor to all kinds of buttons, they can do exactly what you expect them to.
