## The answer, as recorded

> Here's what I'd actually recommend, roughly in the order I'd suggest trying them. One thing worth knowing up front: several of the names that used to be the standard small-business answers (Concord, ContractSafe, Juro) have moved upmarket hard - Concord's entry tier is now ~$499/mo for 5 users, and ContractSafe starts around $450/mo. So the real small-business field is narrower than most "top 10" lists imply.

> **1. PandaDoc** - my default pick for most small businesses. It covers the whole chain you actually care about: build from a template, send, get it e-signed, store it, track status. ~$19/user/mo on annual billing (~$35 monthly) for Essentials, $49/user/mo annual for Business, and there's a free e-sign tier to test with. The catch is per-seat pricing - a 10-person team on Business is ~$5,900/year - so it's best when only a few people send contracts.
