Why Media & Production Teams Need a Better E-Signature Solution
Production timelines are measured in days, not weeks. Talent contracts, release forms, licensing agreements, and distribution deals all need signatures before cameras roll or episodes air. A single unsigned release form can halt an entire production.

Why Media & Production Teams Are Switching Away from PandaDoc
The most common reasons media & production 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.
