Why Event Management Teams Need a Better E-Signature Solution
Events involve 15-50 vendor contracts, thousands of attendee waivers, and dozens of sponsor agreements — all with hard deadlines. When signing depends on email chains and manual follow-up, unsigned contracts become the #1 cause of event-day emergencies.

Why Event Management Teams Are Switching Away from PandaDoc
The most common reasons event management teams leave PandaDoc are cost issues, bloat frustrations, and limits problems. Here is what we hear from teams that switched to BoloSign.
Per-user pricing escalates fast for growing teams
costPandaDoc charges $19-49 per user per month. A 10-person team on the Business plan pays $490/month — nearly 10x what BoloSign charges for the same team with unlimited features.
Document creation features you may not need inflate the price
bloatPandaDoc is primarily a document creation + proposal tool with e-signing added. If your team just needs e-signatures (not a full CPQ/proposal builder), you are paying for features you will never use.
Starter plan has significant document and feature limits
limitsPandaDoc's $19 Starter plan limits document templates, payment collection, and advanced automation. To get features comparable to BoloSign's $49 plan, you need PandaDoc Business at $49/user.
No native Google Sheets tracking for document status
missing featuresPandaDoc does not offer direct Google Sheets integration for auto-tracking document events. Teams need Zapier ($20+/mo) as middleware to achieve what BoloSign includes natively.
Sales-focused design does not fit all industries well
wrong fitPandaDoc was built for sales proposals and quotes. If your team works in healthcare, construction, events, or education — the sales-centric design and terminology feels like a poor fit.
