Choose Loop If

You have the file already and want your own branded, tracked link, paid for once.

  • Paid once. $49 for one person, against $588 a year for PandaDoc Business.
  • Your own domain. Links on your own address, in your logo, colours and typeface.
  • Your own storage. Your files stay in your own Cloudflare account.
  • Any file. Share the PDF, video or picture you already have, as a tracked link.

Not for: writing proposals or quotes inside the app, or sharing from Windows.

Choose PandaDoc If

You write proposals, quotes and agreements and want them signed in one web app.

  • Document editor. Build proposals and agreements in a drag and drop editor.
  • Quotes and CRM. Custom quotes and sales agreements, with CRM integrations on Business.
  • Free plan. E-signatures on every plan, free for 5 documents a month.

Overview

Two ways to share a file.

Loop

Loop is a Mac app that turns any file into your own branded link, and follows every open, page and signature.

Loop is for the files you already make elsewhere: a PDF, Keynote slides or a Pages document. Drop one on Loop and it becomes your own branded link that readers can mark up and sign in order, with the time spent on every page shown back to you. Nothing is rebuilt in an editor. It is $49 once, or $199 once for a team of five.

PandaDoc

PandaDoc is a web app for writing proposals, quotes and agreements and getting them signed.

You build a document in its drag and drop editor, or upload one, and send it to be signed. PandaDoc shows who opened it with real-time notifications on every plan. Business, at $49 a seat a month billed yearly, adds time spent on each page, your own branding, quotes, CRM integrations, deal rooms and approval workflows. A free plan covers 5 documents a month.

Tracking

Both tell you when a document is opened, and both show how long each person spent on every page. PandaDoc sends real-time notifications on every plan, and from Business shows time per page, views, last view and link clicks for each recipient. On top, Loop shows how much of a video was watched, groups readers by company and tracks which version each person read.
