Your verdict
Your page is mostly the same.
Most of what your page says, Docusign says too. You're less same than 5 of the 8 E-signature sites scored (category avg 63).
Each named site is scored the same way, against the other 3 in this set, so its tick means the same as your marker. The dashed line is the frozen benchmark average.

Three changes worth testing first.
Chosen by rule from the comparison with Docusign, Adobe Acrobat (Sign / Acrobat Pro / Acrobat Studio) and Proposify: the shared claim taking your most prominent space, then the claims only you make that sit too low on the page to be read. Each one links to its claim card.
- “Make proposals that make impressions”
Docusign, Adobe Acrobat (Sign / Acrobat Pro / Acrobat Studio) and Proposify all say it too. Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your hero — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.
Table stakesMost of the set says this too. - “Provides SSO and a robust API for granular document and workspace permissions”
Nobody in the set says this. It sits in body copy, where few readers reach it — worth testing higher up the page; only buyers can tell you whether it lands.
SurfaceYours alone. Test it higher up. - “Rated #1 in proposals, eSignature, and contract management by G2”
Keep the fact, lose the position: docusign and Proposify say it too (67% of the set), and your hero is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.

Try these changes, then test them with real buyers.
This measures overlap. Whether buyers notice is a different question, and only they can answer it.
What you can own
Claims only you make, that buyers weigh, and that competitors can’t easily copy.

Why this is not 100 minus the Sameness Index
The index is a weighted composite across six categories, including page structure and visuals. This bar is measured on your claims alone, weighted by where each one sits on the page. Different denominators, so the two never add to 100 and are not meant to.

How this was calculated
Sameness measures how much your claims overlap with the sites compared. It does not measure message quality or whether buyers prefer you.
AI-analyzed: an AI read each page on its own and grouped the claims that say the same thing. No score here was written by a model — every number is computed from those groupings in our own code, with the weights below.
How the score is built
| Category | Weight | Yours | What a high score means |
|---|---|---|---|
Messaging Category framing, who it is for, and the outcome promised | 30% | 76 | The most expensive kind of sameness. A buyer cannot tell what job you do that the others do not. |
Claims Attribute and benefit claims — speed, ease, quality, ROI | 30% | 67 | Every shared claim is a line already read on another tab. Cut the ones nobody owns and spend the space on something they cannot. |
Features Capabilities and functions the page lists | 15% | 68 | Expected in a mature category, and the least alarming of the six. Feature parity is normal; leading with it is the mistake. |
Proof The kinds of evidence offered: customer logos, numbers, testimonials, case studies, badges | 10% | 42 | Same kinds of proof as everyone means the proof stops working as proof. It is scored on the kind of evidence, not on which customers are named. |
Structure Section order, navigation, CTA language and placement | 10% | 5 | The generic SaaS template — hero, logos, three-feature grid, testimonial, CTA. Familiar is not the same as memorable. |
Visual Palette family, imagery style, layout patterns | 5% | 60 | Weighted lowest on purpose: buyers rarely decide on this. Worth knowing, rarely worth fixing first. |
Each site was read on its own first, with no knowledge of the others, so your page gets no benefit of the doubt a competitor’s does not. A category nothing could be measured for drops out and the rest are re-weighted, rather than counted as zero.
What we compared (4 pages read)
What it cannot tell you
The index can find where two pages converge. It cannot say whether a buyer would notice, or which of your reasons to buy actually land. A single check also moves several points between runs, so read the band and the ranking, not the last digit.
Your highest-impact changes
- 1Table stakesYour hero copy says “Make proposals that make impressions”.
Docusign, Adobe Acrobat (Sign / Acrobat Pro / Acrobat Studio) and Proposify all say it too. Buyers may still need it, but shared ground cannot carry your hero — move it lower and give that space to something only you can say.
- 2Table stakesYour hero copy says “Rated #1 in proposals, eSignature, and contract management by G2”.
Keep the fact, lose the position: docusign and Proposify say it too (67% of the set), and your hero is spending its first impression on the same territory as theirs.
- 3Table stakesYour section copy says “Capture signatures, decide signing order, verify identity of recipients, set signing groups, and even notariz…”.
This is the set's common ground — Docusign, Adobe Acrobat (Sign / Acrobat Pro / Acrobat Studio) and Proposify all say it too. It will not set you apart wherever it sits, and in the section it costs you the one place a distinctive claim would be read.
- 4Table stakesYour section copy says “Built to integrate with all your favorite tools”.
A buyer with three tabs open reads a version of this on every one of them. Say it further down for the readers who need it; the section should carry a claim they will only find here.
- 5Table stakesYour section copy says “Over 68,000 customers build smarter content with PandaDoc”.
True of you and true of them: Docusign, Adobe Acrobat (Sign / Acrobat Pro / Acrobat Studio) and Proposify all say it too. That is why it decides nothing, and why the section is the wrong place to spend it.

- 9Surface“Provides SSO and a robust API for granular document and workspace permissions” is yours alone, and buyers weigh it.
Nobody in the set says this. It sits in body copy, where few readers reach it — worth testing higher up the page; only buyers can tell you whether it lands.
The only way to know if it matters.
This report can tell you where your messaging overlaps. It cannot tell you whether a buyer would care, or which of your reasons to buy actually land. Put the page in front of real B2B buyers in your target market and ask them.
