Keep your PandaDoc plan for proposals. Route the expensive signing workflows through GoodSign — no subscription, no seats, no caps.
The idea
The playbook
Each one keeps your PandaDoc plan exactly where it is — and routes the expensive part through GoodSign instead.
Hack 01
PandaDoc's Free eSign plan is generous on seats but strict on volume: you can send up to 60 documents for signature per year — about 5 a month — with a maximum of two recipients per document. Hit either wall and you're pushed onto Starter at $19 per user per month ($228 a year) just to keep signing.
The hack: Stay on the Free plan and send the overflow through GoodSign at $1.50 each. No annual commitment, no per-user fee, and no two-recipient limit — add as many signers as the document needs.
The math
Only send 20 in the end? You've spent $30, not $228.
Hack 02
Starter caps you at five templates, with no custom branding, no CRM sync and no payment collection. Unlocking any of those means moving to Business at $49 per user per month — and because a workspace shares one plan, every seat jumps from $19 to $49. For a five-person team that's $1,800 more per year so one person can use one feature.
The hack: Keep the team on Starter (or Free) and give the person who needs unlimited templates or branding a free GoodSign login. Every GoodSign feature is included at $1.50 per document — there are no tiers to unlock, and users are unlimited and free.
The math
The other four people stay exactly where they are.
Hack 03
Need a signed contract plus a copy of their ID, insurance certificate or proof of address? PandaDoc's Collect Files field isn't available on the Free plan at all, and above it, it rides on a per-seat paid subscription. So teams end up chasing attachments over email — unsecured and untracked.
The hack: Send those documents through GoodSign. Attachment requests are built into every send — ask each signer for exactly the files you need, and they upload them right in the signing flow. Included in the $1.50, on every document, for every user.
The math
Attachment requests are included on every send.
Hack 04
Annual policy renewals, updated terms for your client base, seasonal staff contracts — classic bulk send jobs. In PandaDoc, Bulk Send is a Business/Enterprise feature (and consumes usage credits). If you only run a campaign like this once or twice a year, you're paying a 12-month Business premium for a two-day task.
The hack: Run bulk sends through GoodSign. Upload your list, and each recipient gets their own copy to sign. You pay $1.50 per recipient, only when the campaign actually runs — no upgrade, no usage credits to top up.
The math
Runs on demand, not all year round.
Hack 05
The office manager who sends a lease renewal twice a year. The contractor who needs one NDA a quarter. The seasonal hire. In PandaDoc, each of them is a full $228–$588/year seat — the price is the same whether they send 100 documents or 3.
The hack: Reserve paid PandaDoc seats for your heavy senders, and give everyone else GoodSign. Users are unlimited and free — your whole company can have a login. Occasional senders cost exactly what they send: $1.50 a document, $0 in the months they send nothing.
The math
A 97% saving on your lightest seats.
Hack 06
Signed the contract — now you need to deliver the 400MB of architectural plans, the video walkthrough, or the full due-diligence folder that goes with it. PandaDoc caps file uploads at 50MB — it was built for documents, not file delivery. So teams fall back on email attachments or yet another subscription for file transfer.
The hack: Every GoodSign account includes GoodSend — secure file transfer using the same credits. Send up to 20 files, 1GB each, 10GB per transfer, with download tracking and 256-bit encryption. Recipients don't need an account.
The math
Same credit balance you already use for signing.
The scoreboard
Based on a five-person team weighing PandaDoc Starter ($19/user/month) against the $49/user/month Business tier, billed annually. Your PandaDoc plan stays exactly as it is.
| Scenario | PandaDoc-only route | With GoodSign alongside | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| 60 documents/year on the Free plan | $228/yr (Starter, 1 seat) | $90 pay-as-you-go | $138 |
| One person needs unlimited templates | +$1,800/yr (all 5 seats to Business) | ~$180/yr in credits | $1,620 |
| Annual 100-recipient bulk send | +$1,800/yr (Business upgrade) | $150, once | $1,650 |
| Send via API (one integration) | $480/yr (separate API Developer plan) | $150/yr for 100 API sends | $330 |
| 3 occasional-sender seats | $1,764/yr | ~$45/yr in credits | $1,719 |
| 10 large file deliveries | $120–$240/yr (file transfer app) | $15/yr via GoodSend | $105+ |

Questions
Yes. There's no conflict in running both. Many teams keep PandaDoc for proposals and existing workflows and route overflow documents, signer attachment requests, bulk sends and SMS deliveries through GoodSign. GoodSign has no subscription, so a second system costs nothing until you actually send a document.
Yes. Electronic signature laws such as the US ESIGN Act, UETA, eIDAS in Europe and equivalent legislation in Australia and New Zealand are technology-neutral. A GoodSign document carries a full audit trail, signer authentication, timestamps and a tamper-proof PDF — the same legal standing as a PandaDoc document.
PandaDoc's Free eSign plan allows up to 60 documents sent for signature per year, with a maximum of two recipients per document and five templates. Beyond that you're pushed to a paid plan from $19 per user per month billed annually. The simple alternative: send overflow documents through GoodSign at $1.50 each — no annual commitment, no per-user fee, and no two-recipient limit.
The Free eSign and Starter plans cap you at five templates. Unlimited templates require the Business plan at $49 per user per month billed annually, and because a workspace shares one plan, every seat moves to that price together. GoodSign includes unlimited templates on every account at $1.50 per document, with no tiers to unlock.
No. Signers receive an email or SMS link, review the document in the browser and sign — on any device, with no account and no app. Most signers never notice which platform sent the document.
No — credits never expire. That's what makes GoodSign work so well alongside PandaDoc: buy a small pack, use them only when a document would otherwise trigger a PandaDoc upgrade, and they wait as long as it takes.
