Cyna vs PandaDoc
Built for proposals.

PandaDoc handles every document your company sends. Cyna is built for the one that decides whether you get the work — drafted in your voice, with the money attached.

Why teams switch

Three reasons teams leave PandaDoc.

All three are about the proposal itself.

It sounds like you

Cyna drafts from proposals you have already won. PandaDoc’s AI policy states customer content never trains their models, so their tone control is a per-prompt instruction rather than a memory of your firm.

One money object

The quote lives in the proposal, and the server refuses to send it unless the total equals the line items. That same object is signed, charged, and frozen into the invoice.

A record, not a file

Acceptance freezes the structured document, the pricing and your brand tokens with a content hash — so "what did they actually agree to" has a data answer.

FAQ

Cyna vs PandaDoc, answered.

PandaDoc’s AI helps you write, and tone is a per-prompt instruction — their AI policy states customer content is never used to train their models, so it holds no memory of how your firm writes. Cyna drafts from proposals you have already sent plus your workspace voice settings, with a guard that rejects generic AI phrasing. You review and edit every block before anything goes out.

PandaDoc puts payment fields in the document and hands the accounting to QuickBooks or FreshBooks. Cyna treats the quote, the signature and the charge as one object: the server checks the total against the line items before you can send, the deposit collects through Stripe on acceptance, and the invoice is frozen from the same record.

Not on the plan an agency actually needs — PandaDoc Business is $49/seat/mo billed annually and Cyna Pro is $49/seat/mo. Cyna Starter is $25. Their entry seat is cheaper at $19, so compare the plan that carries the features you need rather than the headline price.

Breadth. PandaDoc covers contracts, NDAs and HR paperwork and has a large integration list; Cyna does proposals and the money attached to them. Plenty of firms keep PandaDoc for the rest of their paperwork and move proposals to Cyna.

Not yet. The delivery layer — a shared brief, milestone tracking, change orders — is rolling out and is not a reason to buy Cyna today. Buy it for the proposal and the money.
