Looking for PandaDoc alternatives because your team sells from Salesforce? This guide compares eight options on the things that decide the outcome for a Salesforce team: how deep the Salesforce integration really goes, which plan you have to buy to get it, what a seat costs once the add-ons are in, and how good the proposal and signing experience is for the buyer.
PandaDoc is a good product. Most teams looking to replace it are not unhappy with the editor; they are unhappy with what it costs to connect it to Salesforce. The Salesforce integration is a paid add-on on the Business Annual and Enterprise Annual plans, the headline $49 price needs a 12-month commitment, and every document is still edited in PandaDoc’s own application rather than on the Opportunity. Our PandaDoc Salesforce integration guide covers the mechanics and limits in detail.

1. SalesSign
Best for: revenue teams that sell from Salesforce and want one tool for proposals, quotes, contracts, eSignatures and engagement data, without a CRM add-on.
SalesSign is built as a Salesforce-native document platform rather than a general document workspace. The drag-and-drop builder opens inside Salesforce, merge fields pull from the Opportunity, Account, Contacts, Quotes and custom objects, and signed PDFs, field updates and Flow triggers land back on the record in real time. Engagement analytics (who opened what, how long they spent on each page, session replay) are included on every plan and written to Salesforce so reps and managers can act on them.
Salesforce integration: included on every plan. There is no separate connector licence, no annual contract requirement and no second application to edit in. Sign in with Salesforce works on every plan.
Pricing: Builder £19, Pro £29 and Max £49 per user per month, billed monthly. Pro includes 20 signing envelopes per user each month, Max includes 50 plus Stripe payments at acceptance and forms mapped to Salesforce fields. There is a 14-day free trial with five envelopes.
Where it is not the right fit: teams that do not use Salesforce, or that need PandaDoc’s notary service, contract repository or HubSpot and Pipedrive integrations. See the full SalesSign vs PandaDoc comparison.
2. DocuSign
Best for: signature-heavy teams that already run DocuSign elsewhere in the business and want the same tool in Salesforce.
DocuSign is the eSignature standard, and its Salesforce app is one of the most mature on the AppExchange. What it is not is a proposal builder: you bring a finished document and DocuSign handles the signing. Teams that switch from PandaDoc to DocuSign usually pair it with a separate document generation tool, which reintroduces the two-system problem.
Salesforce integration: the DocuSign eSignature for Salesforce app needs the Business Pro plan or an enterprise agreement, and envelopes sent through it count toward the plan’s allowance of 100 envelopes per user per year.
Pricing: Standard $25 and Business Pro $40 per user per month on annual billing ($45 and $65 monthly). Enterprise on quote. Our post on the real cost of bolt-on eSignature in Salesforce walks through the total, and the SalesSign vs DocuSign page has the side by side.
3. Proposify
Best for: design-led proposal teams that care most about the look of the document and do not need a CRM connection.
Proposify’s editor and template library are strong, and its analytics are good for a proposal-first tool. The Salesforce story is the catch: the integration is only available on the Business plan, which has an annual minimum, and it is a paid add-on on top of that.
Salesforce integration: Business plan only, plus $9 per user per month for the managed package.
Pricing: Basic $19 and Team $41 per user per month on annual billing; Business is custom from $3,900 a year. Read SalesSign vs Proposify.
4. Qwilr
Best for: marketing-led teams that want proposals delivered as interactive web pages.
Qwilr’s web-page proposals are polished and its analytics are useful. Salesforce, custom domains and team permissions are Enterprise features, and Enterprise carries a ten-seat minimum, so a five-person team that needs Salesforce pays for ten seats.
Salesforce integration: Enterprise plan only, ten-seat minimum.
Pricing: Business $35 per user per month annual ($39 monthly); Enterprise $59 per user per month annual, which puts the minimum spend at about $7,080 a year. Read SalesSign vs Qwilr.
5. GetAccept
Best for: teams that want a digital sales room with video, chat and content tracking around the proposal.
GetAccept goes beyond documents into deal rooms and buyer engagement, and it has a native Salesforce integration. The trade-off is scope and cost: the deal-room features are more than most teams use, and the Salesforce integration sits on the higher tiers, which are billed annually.
Salesforce integration: native, on the Professional and Enterprise tiers, both annual only.
Pricing: eSign from $25, Professional $49 and Enterprise $79 per user per month. Read SalesSign vs GetAccept.
6. Dropbox Sign (formerly HelloSign)
Best for: small teams that need straightforward, well-priced eSignatures and already use Dropbox.
Dropbox Sign keeps things simple: unlimited signature requests, clean templates and a Salesforce integration from the Standard plan. There is no proposal builder and no engagement analytics beyond basic status, so it replaces PandaDoc’s signing, not its documents.
Salesforce integration: Standard plan and above. Embedded signing and the API are sold separately, with the Standard API from $300 a month.
Pricing: Essentials $15 a month for one user; Standard $25 per user per month with a two-user minimum; Premium on quote. Read SalesSign vs Dropbox Sign.
7. SignNow
Best for: teams that need the lowest-cost eSignatures at volume and can live without document generation.
SignNow is the price leader for pure eSignature. The seat plans are cheap and capable; the Salesforce integration and API are not on them. Both sit on the Enterprise tier or on a usage-priced Site License, so the low headline price does not hold once Salesforce is in scope.
Salesforce integration: Enterprise plan or Site License, the latter priced per signature invite.
Pricing: Business $8, Business Premium $15 and Enterprise $30 per user per month on annual billing. Read SalesSign vs SignNow.
8. Adobe Acrobat Sign
Best for: organisations already standardised on Adobe that want eSignature inside Acrobat.
Acrobat Sign is a solid, compliant eSignature service, and for many companies it is already paid for through an Adobe agreement. The Salesforce connector is an enterprise feature with its own licence, and plans sold per user include a transaction allowance of 150 per user per year, which sends through Salesforce count against.
Salesforce integration: Acrobat Sign Solutions (enterprise) plans, with a Salesforce connector licence typically quoted at an additional $15 to $25 per user per month.
Pricing: Acrobat Standard for teams $14.99 per user per month; Acrobat Sign Solutions on quote. Read SalesSign vs Adobe Sign.
PandaDoc vs SignNow: which is the better value?
These two get compared constantly because both are owned by companies that sell to the same small-business buyer. For pure eSignatures, SignNow is cheaper at every tier and does the job well. PandaDoc wins when you also need the proposal builder, content library and pricing tables. For a Salesforce team, neither is cheap once connected: PandaDoc needs Business Annual plus the Salesforce add-on, SignNow needs Enterprise or a Site License. If the Salesforce connection is the reason you are shopping, SalesSign includes it on a £19 seat.
PandaDoc vs DocuSign: which should a Salesforce team pick?
DocuSign has the deeper Salesforce app and the stronger signing pedigree; PandaDoc has the builder. Most teams choosing between them end up buying both a document tool and a signing tool, or accepting a compromise on one side. DocuSign’s Salesforce app also needs Business Pro, and its envelope allowance is 100 per user per year, which is worth checking against your volume. SalesSign is built to remove the compromise: proposal builder, signatures and Salesforce sync in one product, on the record.
How to choose a PandaDoc alternative for Salesforce
- Write down the real Salesforce requirement. Do reps need to build and send from the Opportunity, or is it enough that a signed PDF lands there afterwards? The first rules out every bolt-on; the second keeps most of the list in play.
- Price the plan that includes Salesforce, not the starting plan. For PandaDoc, Proposify, Qwilr, SignNow and Acrobat Sign the difference between the headline price and the Salesforce-enabled price is the whole story.
- Check the contract term. Several vendors only sell the Salesforce-enabled plan on an annual contract. If your headcount changes, monthly billing is worth paying for.
- Count envelopes. DocuSign and Acrobat Sign cap sends per user per year. Multiply your monthly volume by twelve before you sign.
- Test the buyer’s experience on a phone. Send yourself a proposal from the trial and sign it on a mobile. This is what your customers will see.
- Run the trial from Salesforce, not the vendor’s app. If the trial pushes you into a separate web app to build the document, that is how your reps will work every day.
PandaDoc alternatives: common questions.
What is the best PandaDoc alternative for Salesforce?
For teams that build and send from Salesforce, SalesSign is the only option on this list that includes a native Salesforce integration on every plan and opens the builder inside Salesforce. DocuSign is the strongest choice if you only need signatures and already standardise on it.
Is there a free PandaDoc alternative?
PandaDoc’s own free plan covers basic eSignatures, and SignNow and Dropbox Sign have low-cost entry plans. None of the free or entry tiers include a Salesforce integration. SalesSign offers a 14-day free trial with five envelopes rather than a free plan.
Which PandaDoc alternatives include Salesforce in the price?
SalesSign includes it on every plan. Dropbox Sign includes it from Standard. The others gate it behind a higher tier, an add-on, or both: PandaDoc (Business Annual plus add-on), Proposify (Business plus $9 per user), Qwilr (Enterprise, ten seats), SignNow (Enterprise or Site License), DocuSign (Business Pro) and Acrobat Sign (enterprise plus connector).
Can I keep my PandaDoc templates when I switch?
There is no direct import between any of these tools and PandaDoc. Proposals are rebuilt in the new tool’s editor; fixed contracts can usually be uploaded as PDFs with signature fields placed on top. In SalesSign both routes are supported, and onboarding help is included on every plan.
How do these tools compare on eSignature legality?
All eight produce legally binding electronic signatures under eIDAS in the UK and EU and the ESIGN Act in the US, with audit trails. The differences are in where the audit trail is stored (in the vendor’s system, or on the Salesforce record as well) and in the signing experience. See our guide to whether eSignatures are legally binding.
