Which one should you pick?
Pick PandaDoc if
You’re building around guest release and sponsor contracts. PandaDoc is overkill if you just need a guest release signed. It's a full sales document platform with templates, payment collection, and viewer analytics — useful if you run a podcast network and ship sponsor contracts weekly, oversized for a solo show signing one release a month.
Pick Typeform if
You’re building around premium-feel guest intakes. Typeform invented the conversational form aesthetic and still owns it, which is why it feels nice for guest intakes. The pricing is hard to justify against Tally though — a 10-response free cap and paid plans starting at $28/mo for what most podcasters get free elsewhere.

What are the trade-offs?
PandaDoc: essentials at $19/user/mo (annual). Typeform: free plan capped at 10 responses/mo. Whether either matters depends entirely on what you actually need — neither is a deal-breaker by itself.
Do they support the same platforms?
PandaDoc works on iOS, Android where Typeform doesn't. If you're on a specific OS or device, that may decide for you.
