Proposo vs PandaDoc
The #1 PandaDoc alternative for modern proposals
PandaDoc is powerful — but per-seat pricing, a locked-down ecosystem, and a cluttered interface slow growing teams down. Proposo gives you a beautiful, open-source proposal platform with legally binding e-signatures, no per-seat fees, and full control over your data.

Why teams switch from PandaDoc
What makes Proposo different
No per-seat pricing
PandaDoc charges $35–$65 per user per month. Proposo has zero per-seat fees — add your whole team without watching costs multiply.
Self-host your data
Run Proposo on your own infrastructure. Your proposals, client data, and audit trails stay on servers you control — not a third-party cloud.
Open source & auditable
Proposo is MIT-licensed. Inspect the code, extend it, or contribute. No vendor lock-in, no black-box trust required.
Faster, cleaner editor
A Notion-style drag-and-drop editor that loads in under 2 seconds. No bloated UI, no feature overload — just a fast, focused writing experience.
Real-time engagement tracking
Know the second your proposal is opened, read, and signed. Proposo gives you instant notifications without an expensive analytics add-on.

The price difference
PandaDoc costs $35/user/mo. Proposo starts free.
A 10-person sales team on PandaDoc Business pays $7,800/year — and still can’t self-host or access the API without upgrading. Proposo gives every team unlimited documents, templates, and API access from day one.
- No per-seat fees — ever
- Self-host free forever (MIT license)
- Hosted plans with simple, flat pricing
- No feature gates on signatures or templates
