Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

PandaDoc

PandaDoc Essentials plan caps out at 2 seats maximum, priced at $19 USD per user per month billed annually (2023 archived pricing page).
PandaDoc Business plan is $49 USD per user per month billed annually, with Enterprise pricing requiring direct sales contact (2023 archived pricing page).

Quoter

Published quote volume is capped at 75, 150 or 250 per month depending on plan, so a high-volume, low-value quoting business pays for an upgrade it does not need in users or features.
Once the monthly cap is reached, new quotes cannot be published until the reset or an upgrade, which is a hard stop in the middle of a sales month rather than an overage charge.
The product is built around MSP and IT reseller workflows, so a consultancy or agency writing narrative proposals gets a poor fit and a lot of unused configuration.
It is now one product in the ScalePad suite, so roadmap attention and commercial packaging follow the wider suite strategy rather than the standalone quoting product it used to be.
Document design flexibility is limited compared with proposal-first tools, so marketing teams that care about a branded, richly laid out proposal will find the output constrained.
