Why Formable
Why teams choose Formable over PandaDoc
PandaDoc fits teams that live in proposals, CPQ, and CRM-driven sends. Formable is for teams that negotiate legal terms, need unlimited templates without jumping to Business pricing, or embed signing and redlining in their product.
Redlining before signatures
Recipients propose tracked changes in Formable. You review, accept or reject, then they sign. No email-and-Word loops beside your proposal tool.
Unlimited templates without Business pricing
PandaDoc Starter caps templates at 5. Unlimited templates usually means Business at $49 per user. Formable Pro includes unlimited templates and documents at $20.
Simpler pricing for contract work
Know your bill before month-end. Formable Pro is priced per user with unlimited documents and recipients included, without shopping a matrix of add-ons for core signing workflows.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Common questions when evaluating Formable as a PandaDoc alternative.
How does Formable compare to PandaDoc on price?
PandaDoc Starter is $19 per user per month billed annually with a 5-template cap. Business is $49 per user for unlimited templates and CRM workflows. Formable Pro is $20 per user with unlimited documents, templates, and recipients, plus contract redlining.
Does PandaDoc support contract redlining?
PandaDoc is built for proposals, quotes, and e-signatures. It does not offer native tracked-change redlining for contract negotiation. Formable lets recipients accept and reject redlines before signing in the same workflow.
Is the PandaDoc API available on every plan?
PandaDoc API access is typically tied to higher tiers or add-ons rather than included on Starter. Formable includes developer-friendly embedded signing and redlining APIs without locking API access behind a separate sales quote for standard product use.
Is Formable's e-signature legally valid?
Yes. Formable's e-signature is legally valid under the ESIGN Act and UETA.
How secure is Formable?
We use encryption in transit, access controls, and audit logging to ensure the security and integrity of your documents.
How long does it take to get set up and onboard my team?
Less than a day. Formable is designed to be easy to set up and use. Our team is here to help you get started and onboard your team.
Do signers need to create an account to sign a document?
