**Typical savings:** at the entry team tier, DocuSign Standard is $30 per user/month (annual commitment, billed monthly) and PandaDoc Starter is $19 per seat/month billed annually. A team that only needs signatures saves $11 per seat/month by switching, and keeping one instead of both saves $19–$30 per seat/month. At the next tier, PandaDoc Business ($49) costs $4 per seat/month more than DocuSign Business Pro ($45).

## How the plans line up

| | DocuSign (annual commitment) | PandaDoc (billed annually) |
|---|---|---|
| Individual | Personal, $11/month, 1 user, 5 envelopes/month | Free plan |
| Entry team | Standard, $30/user, 100 envelopes per user per year | Starter, $19/seat |
| Mid | Business Pro, $45/user (adds bulk send, payments) | Business, $49/seat (adds CRM integrations, approvals) |
| Top | Enhanced, contact sales | Enterprise, contact sales |

DocuSign Standard and Business Pro include 100 envelopes per user per year, so count how many you send. See the [DocuSign vs PandaDoc comparison](/compare/docusign-vs-pandadoc), and the [DocuSign](/tools/docusign) and [PandaDoc](/tools/pandadoc) pages for sources and dates.

## Which fits

DocuSign suits teams that mainly send finished documents for signature. PandaDoc suits teams that build proposals and quotes and then get them signed. If you're paying for a document tool just for proposals, the [client proposals workflow](/workflows/client-proposals-with-ai-docs) shows how to draft them with an AI assistant and docs you already own.
