PandaDoc pricing: what each plan costs per seat
Four tiers, priced per seat, and one of the few genuinely free plans in this category. Both billing states were read off PandaDoc's own pricing page on the date shown.
The short answer. PandaDoc costs $19 per seat a month for Starter and $49 for Business when billed annually, or $35 and $65 billed monthly. There is a real free plan limited to 5 documents a month. Enterprise pricing is not published.
What each plan costs
| Plan | Price | Billed | Checked | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | no card required | Vendor page | |
| Capped at 5 documents a month. Includes the editor, real time tracking and notifications, 24/7 email and chat support, and limited API access. This is a free plan, not a trial: it does not expire. | ||||
| Starter | $19/seat/mo | billed annually | Vendor page | |
| Unlimited document uploads and e-signatures. The same plan is $35 per seat a month if billed monthly. | ||||
| Starter | $35/seat/mo | billed monthly | Vendor page | |
| The month to month rate for the same Starter plan, read with the Monthly toggle selected. | ||||
| Business | $49/seat/mo | billed annually | Vendor page | |
| Adds custom quotes, CRM integrations, custom branding, a content library, deal rooms, approval workflows, web forms and bulk send. | ||||
| Business | $65/seat/mo | billed monthly | Vendor page | |
| The month to month rate for the same Business plan. | ||||
| Enterprise | not published | quote only | Vendor page | |
| Shown as "Let's talk", with per seat or per document pricing. No figure is published, so none is printed here. | ||||
What the free tier actually allows
- The free plan is genuine and does not expire. It allows 5 documents a month and includes e-signature.
- That cap is the whole constraint. Anyone sending a sixth document in a month needs Starter.
- No credit card is required to start it, which the pricing page states.
What the pricing page does not say
- Prices are per seat, so the figure on the page is for one person. A team of five on Business is $245 a month on annual billing, not $49.
- The headline figures shown by default are the annual billing rates. Paying monthly costs 84% more on Starter, $35 against $19.
- Enterprise has no published price, and the page offers per seat or per document pricing, which are different models for the same tier.
- Several Business features carry an asterisk on the pricing page, which usually marks an add-on or a limit. What those asterisks mean was not confirmed on this check.
The free plan is the unusual part
Most tools in this category offer a trial and call it free. PandaDoc publishes a plan at $0 that does not expire, includes e-signature, and caps use at five documents a month.
Five documents is a real limit, not a technicality. It suits someone sending the occasional contract and stops working the moment signing becomes routine. But it is a free plan, and the distinction matters when comparing against a tool whose free option is thirty days long.
Per seat is the figure that moves
Every price on the page is per seat. That is stated, and it is also the detail most often dropped when these numbers are repeated elsewhere.
| Team size | Business, billed annually |
|---|---|
| 1 person | $49 a month |
| 3 people | $147 a month |
| 5 people | $245 a month |
The tier does not change. The bill does.
Both billing rates, because one without the other is misleading
The page defaults to showing annual rates with a Monthly toggle beside them. Switching it reveals $35 and $65 for the same two plans, an 84% increase on Starter for the privilege of paying month to month.
The page advertises a saving of up to 46% for annual billing. That figure is accurate: $35 down to $19 is a 46% reduction.
If this one does not fit
- Proposify $19/user/mo
- The closest comparison on proposals and quotes, priced per user on the same shape of tiering.
- HoneyBook $29/mo
- Covers contracts and invoicing for a solo operator, but has no free plan at all.
Questions
- Is PandaDoc really free?
- Yes, with a cap. The free plan allows 5 documents a month, includes e-signature, and does not expire. It is a free plan rather than a trial.
- How much is PandaDoc per month?
- $19 per seat for Starter or $49 for Business on annual billing. Paying month to month is $35 and $65 respectively.
- Why is PandaDoc cheaper on some comparison pages?
- Because they quote the annual billing rate without saying so. $19 is the annual price; the month to month price for the same plan is $35.
- What does PandaDoc cost for a team?
- Multiply by seats. Five people on Business billed annually is $245 a month. The per seat model is the figure most comparison pages leave out.
- What does Enterprise cost?
- Not published. The page offers a quote and mentions per seat or per document pricing, so the model itself varies.
What this check confirmed
Both billing states were captured by switching the Monthly and Annually toggle, so the monthly and annual figures here are each read rather than calculated. The stated saving of up to 46% checks out against $35 falling to $19. Enterprise is shown as a quote only, so no figure is published for it.
Figures on this file were read off the vendor's own pricing page on the dates shown. Prices change without notice; check before buying.
