WHAT A SEAT DOES NOT COVER
The seat is the start of the bill, not the end of it.
What PandaDoc prices separately, beside what a Calisto envelope already carries.
The seat itself
PandaDoc's published rates are the annual rates; month to month, Starter is roughly 35 and Business 65 per user. A Calisto envelope has one rate and no term.
The builder you may not need
PandaDoc bundles a document builder into every seat. Calisto Docs sends a rendered PDF straight to Sign without a download, and costs nothing extra to do it.
Identity on the higher plan
ID verification sits on PandaDoc's upper tiers. In Calisto it is its own per-check product, switched on per document, for outside signers only if you like.
Honest answers
Leaving PandaDoc
Do my signed documents move across?
Completed envelopes generally stay with PandaDoc, because their certificates are theirs. Download them before you close the account; anything you send from Calisto Sign carries its own certificate and audit trail.
Can I bring my templates?
Templates rebuild with drag-and-drop field placement on the PDF you already have. Field positions are in PDF points, so a template you place once is exact on every send.
I am mid-contract with PandaDoc. What happens to the rest of it?
Upload the contract from the offer above. We read the term, the fee and the notice period, and what leaving costs you is held as credit in your Calisto wallet, released once you show us it is cancelled.
What does an envelope cost?
The pricing section on this page reads the live catalogue and is the authority on the figure. One envelope holds every document and every signer the agreement needs, and is charged once, when it is sent; drafting and placing fields cost nothing.
What does PandaDoc do that Calisto Sign does not?
The table above says so plainly. Qualified electronic signatures, a developer API and native connectors to third-party CRMs are theirs; the record the signature belongs to is ours.
