Maple eSign and PandaDoc

PandaDoc builds the whole proposal, and Maple eSign gets it signed.

PandaDoc puts together the cover, scope, pricing table and quote. Maple eSign only handles the page your client signs. If you already write your proposals in Word or as PDFs, that’s the part you need, and Maple eSign does it for free.

The page that gets signed

If your proposal is already written, upload it and send it for signature.

You can write it in Word, Google Docs or PandaDoc. Save it as a PDF, upload it to Maple eSign, add the signature and date fields, and send it. Your client signs in their browser, and you get a sealed copy with its certificate.

Fair to both

Where PandaDoc does better.

PandaDoc does better

  1. Writing the proposal: a document editor, pricing tables, quotes and a content library.
  2. Getting paid: clients can pay from the document.
  3. CRM integrations on Business, and CPQ on Enterprise.
  4. Checking signers by text message, and a SOC 2 Type II report.

Maple eSign is different

  1. Free, with every feature and no price per seat or per document.
  2. Canadian-owned, run from Vancouver.
  3. Documents, database and backups in Google Cloud Montréal.
  4. Signing, consent and emails in Canadian French or English.
  5. A sealed PDF, a Certificate of Completion and a hash-chained history for every agreement.
