Autessa Document Signing as a PandaDoc alternative
Autessa Document Signing is free e-signature software built into Autessa, with unlimited users and unlimited envelopes (you pay only for AI tasks): send PDFs or Word files for signature, set signing order, CC viewers, use templates and get PAdES-sealed PDFs with a tamper-evident audit trail. PandaDoc is a document platform for proposals and quotes, with a content library, pricing tables and optional CPQ, on per-seat plans. API and automated sends use Usage Credits. Autessa is built for the agreement itself: send the Word files and PDFs you already have, fill values from your own data with scripts, and get PAdES-sealed PDFs, with no seat or send to count.

Where Autessa wins
Why teams choose Autessa over PandaDoc
Automation with no meter
Scripts, table triggers and schedules create and send envelopes as often as you need, with no usage credits to watch.
Signing proof, not only a signature
Each signer gets a PAdES-B-T digital signature with a trusted timestamp, and SHA-256 hashes cover every version.
Bring the documents you have
Your lawyers keep Word. Autessa converts on upload, and prefilled prices, terms and logos are flattened so signers cannot change them.
Shaped to your deal desk
Ask Autobot for a discount approval before send or a pricing block from your own table, and it changes the app, code and all.
Beyond a beta connector
The Autessa MCP gives Claude full headless access: draft an envelope from a template, chase who is outstanding and file the sealed copy.
Free for the whole company
Unlimited users and unlimited envelopes with every Autessa account. You pay only for AI tasks.
Switching
Moving from PandaDoc to Autessa

Automate the rest
Send from a template when a deal closes or a hire is approved, and file signed copies into folders automatically.
