Beautiful forms, intuitive tools
Both PandaDoc and Paperform use a similar form builder to create forms. Each platform allows you to generate a broad variety of question types. You can also configure your form using drag and drop tools before styling the fonts and sending the form out to users or embedding it on websites using HTML/CSS. While Paperform has some cool tricks, PandaDoc really takes it over the top for users by offering administrative processes like signing orders and approval workflows to create ease of use in the form development process.
Jumpstarting form creation with templates
Pre-built templates make it easier than ever to start creating forms, whether you need to build a simple e-commerce order form or a complete client onboarding packet. While Paperform and PandaDoc both offer a template library, it’s important to note that Paperform only offers form templates while PandaDoc offers fully developed templates for everything from contracts and proposals all the way to signup forms that you can link and share through social media.
Fast and easy payment gateways
Need to collect payments with your forms? No problem! Using either service, you’ll be able to use built-in payment gateways to collect fees. While both companies offer service through Stripe, Square, and PayPal, Paperform also offers additional service through Braintree while PandaDoc connects to Authorize.net and via Zapier to Quickbooks and Freshbooks.
E-signatures that you can trust
While you can use Paperform to collect electronic signatures, the company points out in its help documentation that you’ll need to check to make sure that the signature is legally binding, depending on your country of origin. With PandaDoc, you’ll never need to worry. Because of how we handle electronic signatures, you can always rest assured that any document signed in most North American and European nations is legally binding and secure.
Support when you need it
When working with SaaS companies, support can be a little tricky, but Paperform has great support when they’re online! Their remote team tries to offer support around the clock, but response times can vary from minutes to hours. With PandaDoc, you’ll never have to worry about that. Our chat agents are available on a 24/7/365 basis so that you’ll always have the help you need to get questions answer and get back on track.
Go beyond forms with PandaDoc
More than an online form builder
Love the sleek designs you see with Paperform forms? Why not have that for every document you create and not just your forms and success pages? With PandaDoc, you don’t have to stop at form creation. You can create everything from order forms to contracts and sales proposals and use the same toolkit to do it all.
Fully customizable solutions
PandaDoc makes it easier than ever to integrate forms and documents into your entire workflow. Unlike Paperform and other form-building tools like JotForm or Google Forms, PandaDoc allows you to place forms inside the other documents you create. Does your proposal need an order form? Does your hiring document need a new hire information form? With PandaDoc, you can connect all of your required documentation together in one easy-to-send solution.
Tools for teams of all sizes
One of the best things about PandaDoc comes down to scalability. While we offer plans that are a great fit for small businesses, our enterprise-level solutions add additional workflow tools to ensure that documents are easy to create and safe to send. Our approval workflows and team workspaces make it easier than ever to keep multiple departments aligned and organized.
Maximum security and HIPAA compliance
With every Paperform plan, you’ll get powerful security — but not HIPAA compliance! PandaDoc customers can enjoy fully HIPAA-complaint solutions at every plan and every level of service (BAA required), so you’ll never have to worry about falling out of compliance when storing sensitive customer/patient information with us.
Go beyond direct integrations
With Paperform, you can use direct integrations to add additional functionality to your form. Think Paperform to Google Docs or Paperform to Trello. PandaDoc allows for similar usage with our standard integrations. Connect to Slack, Google Sheets, Mailchimp, a wide variety of CRMs, and even Zapier to get your entire tech stack synchronized for fast and efficient workflows.
Go mobile with ease
Need to take your forms and documents on the go? With PandaDoc, it’s easier than ever using our mobile app! Log in on the smartphone or tablet of your choice to get access to your entire document library from anywhere in the world. Sign and review documents, or create and send new documents at the drop of a hat — anytime, anywhere.
