Need an alternative to YouSign?

As with many e-signature solutions, YouSign allows you to upload documents, attach signature fields, and send those documents for digital signatures. But, in order to do this, you’ll need to design your documents elsewhere. This means that if there are any changes to your document, you’ll need to make those changes offline, re-upload, and repeat the process. With PandaDoc, you can build documents within our flexible document editor and send those out for electronic signature. If signers need to make changes, it’s easier than ever to update your document.

While YouSign can help you get your document signed, you’ll need to store it somewhere else. Many smaller businesses end up storing contracts in Google Drive, Dropbox, or even their Gmail inbox! PandaDoc can help you manage your contracts and documents throughout their entire lifecycle. Whether you create your documents from scratch using the PandaDoc editor or upload a document created in Microsoft Word or Google Docs, that document can stay within the PandaDoc platform once it arrives. From there, you can use our onboard CRM to keep your documents organized and up to date.

Using YouSign, you can create templates to expedite your workflow. PandaDoc uses a similar process but offers more robust options. While you can upload a document and attach signature fields — similar to what you might do in YouSign — the PandaDoc document editor allows you to create documents entirely from scratch. Whether you choose to build something from a blank page or load one of the 450+ editable templates from our template library, you can use PandaDoc to build the perfect document for your company and create a template so that it’s ready when you need it.

If you’re looking granular control over document creation, the PandaDoc content library can help. Since all PandaDoc documents are built via content blocks, it’s easy to save a specific block to your library. When you need that block again, access it from the content menu and load it into your new documents. It’s a quick and easy way to custom-fit your content — perfect for small business owners who are looking to gain a competitive advantage when reaching out to customers.

Whether you’re building an FAQ, a sales proposal, or a real estate sell sheet, branding is critical. With PandaDoc, you can upload your branded images and logos to your content library for easy access. This is especially useful for sales and marketing teams who need an easy way to access approved content for their documentation.

Have you ever wanted to know what happened to your document after you sent it? With YouSign, you’ll only know whether your document was signed or rejected. PandaDoc can help you gain greater insights with every document that you send thanks to content analytics. Learn how long someone looked at your document, how many times they accessed it, and how long they took on each page. Take those insights back to your team and use them to make your documents even better.

More and more, work is being done on the go. With YouSign, you can sign in to your client dashboard and work from your smartphone or tablet, but menu navigation can be difficult. That’s why PandaDoc offers a free mobile app to help you manage your documents on the go. Customers can use the app to sign your sent documents, and your team can use it to manage your customers and contracts.

If you’ve got a question and some time to spare, YouSign can help. They offer a detailed helpdesk to help you troubleshoot issues. You can also send them a quick email. But if you need help outside of business hours or you’re in a hurry, you might have trouble resolving issues. With PandaDoc, you’ll have access to chat support so that you can get the resources you need and get back to work.
