A voice, not a prompt
Proposify’s AI drafts from what you type into it, or spins a template out of a URL. Cyna drafts from proposals your firm has already won, so the scope and the tone arrive sounding like you.

Cyna vs Proposify
It writes itself.
Proposify gives you a good editor and asks you to fill it. Cyna drafts the proposal in your firm’s voice, then runs the deposit, the milestones and the invoices off the accepted version.
Why teams switch
Three reasons teams leave Proposify.
The work either side of the document.
Billing on a schedule
Proposify collects one set percentage at signature; the rest you invoice by hand or push to accounting. Cyna runs deposit, milestone, project and retainer schedules, freezing an invoice from each.
Brand it already knows
Cyna reads your homepage at signup for logo, colours and fonts, and shows you the guess to confirm before your first draft. No brand kit to assemble.

The real difference
One number, checked before it ships.
The quote is a block, not a separate file.
- The money invariant
- The total must equal the sum of the line items, checked server-side before a proposal can leave the building.
- Schedules, not one percentage
- Deposit, milestone, project and retainer billing set once per deal and billed on the dates you choose.
- Tax at invoice time
- Per-workspace tax, inclusive or exclusive, calculated on the server rather than typed into a table.

Switching
Switching takes an afternoon.
Your content library moves by paste.
Bring your best three
Paste in three proposals you have won. Cyna learns the voice and keeps them as templates.
Rebuild the pricing once
Line items live in the proposal, so your pricing table becomes a quote block on the first draft.
Point Stripe at Cyna
Connect your own Stripe account and let the deposit, milestones and retainer run themselves.

FAQ
Cyna vs Proposify, answered.
Proposify’s AI drafts from what you type into the widget, or generates a template from a website URL — it makes no claim to write in your firm’s learned voice. Cyna drafts from proposals your firm has already sent, plus a tone persona you write, with a guard against generic AI phrasing.
Proposify’s Stripe integration collects a set percentage of the total when the last signature lands; after that you invoice a percentage by hand from the won proposal or hand it to your accounting software. Cyna runs deposit, milestone, project and retainer schedules from the accepted proposal, computes tax server-side, and freezes an invoice from the same record.
At the plans most agencies buy, slightly: Proposify Team is $41/seat/mo billed annually against Cyna Pro at $49. Note Team bills quarterly or annually with no month-to-month option, and their API and SSO sit on a Business plan starting around $3,900 a year.
Sales governance and CRM integrations. Proposify has approval workflows that fire on document value, custom roles, and native Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho and Dynamics. Cyna has five fixed roles with row-level security and early Slack, Gmail and Granola connections.
By copy and paste, and you will not need much of it. Cyna builds templates out of proposals you save from real wins, so the library grows from your actual work rather than a starter set.
