Can PandaDoc be used for waivers?

PandaDoc has e-signature capability and some waiver templates, so technically yes. But it lacks waiver-specific features like QR code walk-in signing, kiosk mode, check-in systems, and a dedicated waiver archive. It's like using a Swiss Army knife to hammer a nail — it works, but a hammer is better.

PandaDoc has 750+ templates. Why choose WaiverDrop?

PandaDoc's templates span proposals, contracts, invoices, and many document types. WaiverDrop's 12 templates are laser-focused on waivers for specific industries. For the waiver use case, WaiverDrop's templates get you live faster with industry-appropriate language and compliance built in.

My company already uses PandaDoc. Should I also use WaiverDrop?

Many businesses use PandaDoc for proposals and contracts but find it overkill for recurring waivers. You can use both: PandaDoc for complex document workflows and WaiverDrop for customer-facing waivers where you need QR codes, kiosk mode, and high volume at a low price.

Is PandaDoc's free plan good enough for waivers?

PandaDoc's free plan only allows basic e-signing — no templates, no document editor, no workflows. WaiverDrop's free plan includes 30 waivers/month with full functionality: signatures, QR codes, PDF downloads, and email confirmations.

WaiverDrop vs PandaDoc

Purpose-built waiver software vs enterprise document automation — at a fraction of the cost.

PandaDoc is a powerful document automation platform used for proposals, contracts, quotes, and e-signatures. With 50,000+ customers, 15+ payment gateways, and CRM integrations, it's a serious enterprise tool. PandaDoc has waiver templates and e-signature capability, but it's not built for recurring walk-in waivers. Their pricing starts at $35/month per user with annual billing ($65/month billed monthly) — and that's for document sending, not waiver collection. WaiverDrop is purpose-built for waivers: QR codes, kiosk mode, and unlimited waivers for $15/month.

No per-seat pricing

PandaDoc charges per user. WaiverDrop charges per account. Your whole team can access the dashboard for one flat price.

Live in 5 minutes, not 5 hours
