CocoSign: A Cheaper, Easier Alternative to pdfFiller

pdfFiller as a key market player in the PDF industry has a mix of PDF-related, e-sign, and fax functionality. Still, many of its users are searching for an appropriate replacement due to its high prices and limited e-signature capabilities. CocoSign is the go-to pdfFiller alternative for anyone seeking a complete, dedicated, but less pricey solution for electronic signatures.

Features

CocoSign gives more e-signing features

CocoSign’s robust features put pdfFiller in the shade. Comprehensive as it is, pdfFiller fails to prioritize e-signing tools, lacking such options as template signing links, e-signature customization, email template customization, etc. CocoSign always excels at relieving the bottlenecks you experienced in your e-signature workflows.

What do pdfFiller’s customers say?

Limited functionality

“Lack of choice of fonts. When you edit a document, the font is automatically changed, meaning you have to change the font throughout the document.”

Limited functionality

“I don't like the clunkyness of e-signing. It's hard to go back and change who signs where.”

Verified pdfFiller reviews on G2

Limited functionality

“The sign feature is funky and the signature doesn't look that real. Also the product is a bit pricey, I'd feel better about it in the $50 range. I wish the sign feature had more options for style of the signature so that I could customize the signature and make it look more authentic.”

What do CocoSign’s customers say?

Rich functionality

“I purchased it with a business plan because this plan has unlimited documents to sign, and it is really cost-efficient. The service does what it promises and is incredibly affordable, which makes my work more efficient as I did not need to invite them to sign on site.”

Verified CocoSign reviews on G2

Rich functionality

"I love how this tool provides the flexibility to supervise documents, whether our recipient has seen a document or not. Moreover, we can inform them about sent documents and we can set reminders to let them know about the document. CocoSign comes in handy for our globally spread clients. It is very easy to upload forms, add a few fields, and navigate them by phone. I like that I can make certain fields necessary and others optional and that I can send them to many signers while making make sure I get valid signatures."

Document management

CocoSign promises easier document management

CocoSign documents

CocoSign: Well-Classified & Organized

With CocoSign, staying in the loop of documents’ status and organizing document workflow is much easier. Besides displaying all your files in one place, it also filters them based on their completion stages, saving you time and effort in categorizing them manually.

pdfFiller: Cluttered & Ineffcient

Nevertheless, tracking overall signing progress is hard with pdfFiller. It does not filter files and requires some additional clicks to track their statuses, dragging down workplace efficiency.

Pricing

CocoSign charges less for online signing

pdfFiller proves a non-cost-effective choice for eSignatures. The e-signing packages are only available in its higher-tiered paid plans. A slew of PDF tools you have no use for are bundled with your expensive purchase. On the contrary, CocoSign’s pricing plans are lower and its free trial even enables you to enjoy its Business features for 14 days with no strings attached, making it a far more cost-effective alternative.

Simplicity

CocoSign focuses more on user-friendliness

pdfFiller’s interface is cluttered with various PDF management tools you’re barely familiar with, which contributes to a steep learning curve. Worse, the overabundance of functions also adversely impacts its loading speed. As opposed to it, CocoSign’s dashboard is neater with all signing tools better organized. Even if you’re not tech-savvy, using CocoSign is a walk in the park.
