Sends a document out for a legally binding electronic signature.
PandaDoc handles the whole send-sign-store loop: upload a PDF or build a document, drop signature, initial and date fields onto it, and watch who opened it and when, with an audit trail bound into the finished file. Signatures are legally binding in the usual jurisdictions and two-factor authentication is available even on the free tier. The free plan is metered at five documents and five e-signatures a month.
Questions
A genuinely usable free tier with paid plans for volume or team features. Five documents and five e-signatures a month on the free plan, and quoting features are paid-only.
Yes. PandaDoc sends your input to its own servers to process it. That is fine for public material; for anything containing personal data, use one of the on-device tools instead.
