# DocuSign vs. Adobe Sign vs. PandaDoc vs. HelloSign

![business](https://blog.linksquares.com/hs-fs/hubfs/business-people-at-business-meeting-in-office-2REA8MM.jpg?width=5700&name=business-people-at-business-meeting-in-office-2REA8MM.jpg)Every modern legal team needs an e-signature solution to expedite and execute their legal agreements, especially in the era of COVID-19. But of the leading e-signature tools -- Adobe Sign, DocuSign, HelloSign, PandaDoc, and LinkSquares Sign -- which one best meets your company's legal and technical needs?

To help you make that call, LinkSquares has developed our latest eBook: ["Adobe Sign vs. DocuSign vs. HelloSign vs. PandaDoc vs. LinkSquares Sign: Which is Better for Your Legal Team?".](https://go.linksquares.com/adobe-sign-vs.-docusign-vs.-hellosign-vs.-pandadoc-which-is-better-for-your-legal-team?__hstc=45788219.4d945e8d24685d40601b7fc5a7085c5b.1649794939414.1649794939414.1649794939414.1&__hssc=45788219.1.1649794939414&__hsfp=2214861545)

[![Check Out Our DocuSign Integration](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6934676/5ddbffa4-626b-4948-9990-d369d1dce940.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6934676/5ddbffa4-626b-4948-9990-d369d1dce940)

Each of these solutions can ably collect and store a binding electronic signature that is ESIGN, UETA, and eIDAS-compliant, but beyond that table-stakes functionality, which one has the specific features that you need to close more contracts more quickly? And, more importantly, which ones fit your budget?

In this eBook, we discuss the merits of each solution based on:

- Ease of use
- Integration with other major software platforms
- Standout features
- Customer support

[![Learn Which Tool Your Legal Team Needs](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/6934676/05e2cb4f-821e-4ea5-a62c-7f8541e9ccfc.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/6934676/05e2cb4f-821e-4ea5-a62c-7f8541e9ccfc)

Do you prioritize ease of use on mobile devices over the ability to enforce a strict signing order for signatories? Is it more important to enable e-faxing, or phone-camera sign-and-scan functionality? Does the ability to precisely design the layout of your signature pages matter to you, or does support for the greatest number of written languages matter more? ["Adobe Sign vs. DocuSign vs. HelloSign vs. PandaDoc vs. LinkSquares Sign: Which is Better for Your Legal Team?"](https://go.linksquares.com/adobe-sign-vs.-docusign-vs.-hellosign-vs.-pandadoc-which-is-better-for-your-legal-team?__hstc=45788219.4d945e8d24685d40601b7fc5a7085c5b.1649794939414.1649794939414.1649794939414.1&__hssc=45788219.1.1649794939414&__hsfp=2214861545) can help you parse those distinctions. 

If you're looking to select a new e-signature solution -- and you want to be certain you've got the best software for your particular needs -- download["Adobe Sign vs. DocuSign vs. HelloSign vs. PandaDoc vs. LinkSquares Sign: Which is Better for Your Legal Team?"](https://go.linksquares.com/adobe-sign-vs.-docusign-vs.-hellosign-vs.-pandadoc-which-is-better-for-your-legal-team?__hstc=45788219.4d945e8d24685d40601b7fc5a7085c5b.1649794939414.1649794939414.1649794939414.1&__hssc=45788219.1.1649794939414&__hsfp=2214861545)<https://go.linksquares.com/adobe-sign-vs.-docusign-vs.-hellosign-vs.-pandadoc-which-is-better-for-your-legal-team> today.
