DocsAutomator vs. Adobe Acrobat Sign
Acrobat Standard and Pro for teams cost $16.99 and $23.99 per license a month on an annual plan billed monthly. On both, Send in Bulk takes up to 50 recipients, and you type every one in by hand. To send from a CSV of your data, you need Acrobat Sign Solutions, which Adobe prices only on request. DocsAutomator builds each contract from your Google Sheets, Airtable or Notion row and sends it for signing, with your whole team on one plan.

What a CSV fills in on Sign Solutions
On Acrobat Sign Solutions, Send in Bulk takes a CSV. Each row becomes its own agreement, copied from one parent template, up to 1,000 a send. The column headers must match the form-field names on the template exactly, capital letters included, and every field must be placed on the template before you upload. A value lands in its field, and the wording around it stays the same for every recipient. Conditional fields can show or hide a field, but they respond to what's entered in another field of the agreement.
In DocsAutomator, a row does more than fill fields. Your Google Doc or Word file is the template, and a rule on the row's values decides whether a section appears or drops out. A line-item table fills from a second tab in Google Sheets or from linked records in Airtable and Notion. Signature fields go in the same file, the signers' names and emails come from the row, and the signed PDF goes back to the row.
Adobe Sign pricing for a team of three
On the plans Adobe puts a price on, signing comes inside Acrobat Standard and Acrobat Pro, and you pay per license. Three of you sending contracts on Pro for teams pay $71.97 a month on an annual plan, or $287.88 per license a year paid up front ($203.88 on Standard). If it's just you, the individual plans are $14.99 for Standard and $19.99 for Pro, on the same annual terms.
Our Professional plan covers all three of you, and whoever you hire next, for $19 a month billed yearly or $29 monthly. That's 100 documents a month with signing included. Business is $59 a month billed yearly for 1,000.

What customers are saying about us
Read what hundreds of happy customers are saying about DocsAutomator.
Before I discovered Docsautomator, generating reports from Airtable was a time-consuming task that drained both my time and energy. However, Docsautomator changed everything and made the process feel effortless.
As a botanical garden operator staffed by volunteers, DocsAutomator has revolutionized our document generation process. This powerful tool seamlessly integrates with our Airtable databases, allowing us to effortlessly create a wide range of docs!
I had a complex process with Airtable and Fillout I was trying to work out and an Airtable consultant told me about DocsAutomator as a much better alternative to Airtable's Page Designer for external documents. She also said Rupert was very helpful.
