Fill and PDF Expert Comparison
Device applications
PDF Expert was built exclusively for the Apple ecosystem. It only works with Mac, iPhone, and iPad devices running on iOS and Mac operating systems. It allows you to sync your signatures and documents across your Apple devices so you can create a handwritten signature on your iPad and then use it on your Macbook.
As an alternative to PDF Expert, Fill works with both Mac and Windows devices. You can use it on an iPhone, iPad, or any Android device. You can download dedicated apps from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. You can also sync your documents across multiple devices, regardless of their operating system. Fill also has an intuitive web platform to access your electronic signatures and digital documents.
Document management
Fill provides a centralized document management platform where you can create, store, and track your various contracts and agreements. With cloud storage available for every plan, you can securely keep your important documents and organize them so they’re easy to find and reference later.
As an alternative to Fill, PDF Expert lets you open large PDF files in a snap. You can review these documents and provide feedback using powerful annotation tools designed to work cohesively with other Apple features. There’s an in-built sharing option so you can quickly send the file for review and approval.
Security
PDF Expert offers the same top-notch security expected from apps that work in the Apple ecosystem. Apple enforces a strict rule when it comes to ensuring only the most secure and properly developed apps work across their devices.
As a PDF Expert alternative, Fill uses HIPAA-compliant servers with ISO27001 certifications to store and transmit your most sensitive data. You can enjoy military-grade encryption technology which is practically impenetrable and ensure that only authorized people access your documents.
Integration capabilities
Fill works with popular business tools like Google Workspace, Gmail, Google Drive, and Dropbox. You can connect it to thousands of other apps like CRM software or marketing software using the Zapier integration. If you need customized features, you can use its extensive developer API library to integrate it with an enterprise or proprietary system.
Meanwhile, PDF Expert lets you connect its platform to Dropbox, Google Drive, Box, OneDrive, and other cloud storage solutions that will keep your files in sync. There’s no dedicated developer API to connect it with other apps, though.
Workflow automation
Fill lets you determine the signing order when there are multiple signers in your document. You can add customized fields and set up workflow automation so the approval process moves seamlessly across invested parties. This creates a more productive and efficient process that lets you accomplish more in less time.
PDF Expert doesn’t offer any automation features so you’d have to manually work through your documents. This may pose a serious challenge if you’re processing documents in bulk.
Progress tracking
Fill monitors the progress of your documents and sends real-time notification updates to let you know of any contract renewals, expirations, or completed documents. You can also track document progress in the centralized dashboard by looking at the document status. When a document receives all the required signatures, Fill sends you a certificate of completion.
PDF Expert doesn’t offer any progress tracking or monitoring features. What’s available though is a Timing app that you can download and use to run in the background and track how much time you’ve spent editing and reading the PDF document.
Signer authentication
Fill helps you comply with KYC (know your customer) and AML (anti-money laundering) requirements when verifying the signer’s identity. You can enjoy cutting-edge face recognition technology to ensure only authorized individuals access and sign your documents.
As a Fill alternative, PDF Expert doesn’t offer signer authentication options. It’s primarily a PDF tool where you create and edit a PDF document then either sign it yourself or save it and send it out for signature. You need to rely on other manual methods to verify the identity of the signer.
Pricing
PDF Expert has two paid plans: a subscription plan that costs $6.67 per month (billed at $79.99 yearly) and a lifetime plan that costs $139.99 one-time payment. They don’t offer a free trial but there’s a 30-day money-back guarantee if you don’t like their features. The subscription plan has added features such as an iPhone and iPad version and AI-powered chat that aren’t available with a lifetime plan.
Fill offers three subscription plans. The subscription plans cost $8.33 per month for Basic, $16.66 per month for Plus, and $24.99 per month for Pro. All plans come with unlimited signature requests, document envelopes, and cloud storage. With the Basic plan, you already have access to team accounts and workflows while the Plus and Pro plans offer advanced features like customizable templates, automated workflows, and live forms.
