Landing Platform vs Adobe Acrobat Sign: signed into the CRM
Adobe Acrobat Sign is e-signature inside a PDF toolkit. Landing builds the document, collects the signature with a full evidence certificate, and files it on the client's record, where it wins the deal, opens the project and requests the deposit.
Landing suits you if
- You send proposals and contracts from the same place you run the client
- You want every signature backed by a certificate anyone can verify
- You'd rather not license a PDF suite for every person who sends a contract
Where the signed PDF goes next.
Getting it signed is quick. Everything after it is manual.
A licence each
Acrobat is sold per licence, so everyone who sends for signature needs one.
A PDF, then a folder
The signed document comes back as a file. Someone still has to update the deal, the project and the invoice.
Built around the PDF
The document starts life in Word or Acrobat, not from your prices and your client's record.

What it costs, side by side.
Acrobat is sold per licence. On Landing the people who write and send contracts pay for the whole platform, and the clients signing pay nothing.
Adobe Acrobat Sign, as it lists it
Adobe's published team plans with e-signature, as listed on their site, September 2026.
And still to buy separately: the CRM, projects and invoicing a signed contract should feed.
a month on Landing, billed yearly, ex VAT
Includes documents, proposals, e-signature, signed forms, CRM and deals, projects, invoicing, email and HR.
Work out your own priceExample team: six people who write proposals and contracts every day, ten who deliver the work, approve and log time. Landing prices are in pounds; Adobe lists its prices in dollars, so we show both as published rather than converting. Credits for AI, SMS and lookups come from a shared pool each Builder adds to.
Switching is our job, not yours.
We move you over one tool a month, against success criteria we agree with you up front. You don't pay until we prove each one is ready.
We map your stack
Show us your Acrobat Sign setup and the tools around it. We agree what moves where, and what "ready" means for each tool, before you commit to anything.
We move your documents across
Your templates, signing roles and signed-document history come across as part of the switch. We rebuild your proposal templates with live pricing and run a full send-to-sign test before you switch off.
You sign it off
Billing starts only when we have shown it works against the criteria you set. Then we move the next tool, one a month.
But everyone knows Adobe.
Fair. Here are the questions teams ask us most when they're weighing it up.
Will clients trust a signature that isn't from Adobe?
They sign in the browser in a few clicks, identified by their email link, with an explicit consent step. The certificate on the PDF records every signer, timestamp and IP address and a SHA-256 fingerprint of the content, and anyone can check it on a public verification page.
We still edit PDFs. Do we need Acrobat for that?
If PDF editing is part of your work, keep a reader for it. What moves to Landing is the business of sending documents for signature: proposals, statements of work, contracts and NDAs, built from your templates and your prices and filed on the client's record.
Can people sign a form rather than a document?
Yes. Forms carry a signature field for waivers, consents and terms. The agreement text is stored in full with each signature, every signature is hash-chained, and each one has its own verification page.
Do the people signing need a licence?
No. Clients and anyone else signing are Guests, and Guests are free.
