Pandadoc review sources, coverage and method
The overall 3.0 / 5 score is recency-weighted: newer reviews count more (weight 0.9 per month of age), regardless of portal.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Capterra | 4.5 / 5 | 1,232 | 73.6% | View profile ↗ | |

| Apple App Store | 2.9 / 5 | 102 | 6.1% | View profile ↗ | |
| Weighted overall | 3.0 / 5 | 1,675 | 100% | ||
Period covered: 2012-08 – 2026-10. Reviews older than 24 months stay in the trend charts but no longer feed the headline figures.
What this analysis cannot cover
- Only publicly visible reviews are included; nothing behind a login, and no reviews submitted to us directly.
- Sentiment is classified from the review text, never from the star rating. Unclassified reviews count toward totals but not toward sentiment shares.
What this analysis covers
- Capterra : 1,232 reviews
- Trustpilot : 215 reviews
- Google Play : 126 reviews
- Apple App Store : 102 reviews
Period covered: Aug 2012 – Oct 2026
And what it cannot cover:
- Trustpilot exposes roughly the 200 most recent reviews publicly; older reviews sit behind a login.
- The App Store feed caps at about 500 reviews per country storefront.
How the numbers are made
Every review is read once by a language model that labels its themes and sentiment and picks short verbatim passages. Recent reviews weigh more than old ones (each month of age discounts the weight by 10%). Quotes are shown exactly as written, linked to the original review, and cryptographically signed so you can check they have not been altered.Full methodology ↗ · Transparency report ↗
