E-signature & Contracts: AI Visibility Ranking

Electronic signature and contract lifecycle management software. Right now, DocuSign is the brand AI assistants recommend most, with a Visibility Score of 73 and the #1 spot in 64% of answers. Head-to-head: DocuSign vs PandaDoc →

These rankings are measured from what the three models know from training, not a live web search. When the models DO search the web, see which sources they cite. Methodology.

DocuSign leads, but PandaDoc is breathing down its neck.

DocuSign converts its mentions into first picks at a 64% rate, which is where its real advantage sits, but PandaDoc appears in 88% of answers, the highest mention rate in the category, keeping the gap between their overall scores to just 4 points. Gemini is the one model where PandaDoc actually pulls ahead of DocuSign, which means the category leader has a platform-specific blind spot worth watching. Dropbox Sign and Adobe Acrobat Sign cluster tightly in the mid-50s but almost never get the first pick, so their presence is more about being named than being chosen.

The ± under each score is the reliability band: how much the number would move if we re-ran the identical measurement. It is tight because each prompt is sampled multiple times. It is not the same as how much the ranking depends on which prompts we ask — a separate, wider figure shown on hover.
