Seqora vs Cynomi, honestly

If you are an MSP with 50 clients, buy Cynomi.

If you are a consultant with 2 to 10 clients, it is priced for someone else. Cynomi is a strong platform built for MSPs, MSSPs, and consultancies at scale, with sales-quoted licenses that start in the low five figures per year. Seqora is the operating system for the fractional vCISO: your whole practice, $99 to $499 a month, published pricing, no sales call. This page exists to tell you which buyer you are.

Yes, Seqora publishes this page. It stays honest anyway: the two products serve different buyers.·Facts checked July 2026

Same category. Different buyer.

Both are multi-tenant vCISO platforms: client workspaces, assessments, risk registers, client reporting. The honest difference is who they are built and priced for.

Choose Cynomi if
You operate at MSP scale

Cynomi positions itself as an agentic security growth platform for MSPs, MSSPs, and consultancies running many client environments with a delivery team behind them.

  • Dozens of client environments and a team to serve them

  • You want a dedicated third-party risk management tier
  • You want the roadmap a $37M Series B funds
Choose Seqora if
You are the whole practice

Seqora is built for the solo or small fractional vCISO with roughly 2 to 10 clients, where the platform cost has to make sense against your own revenue, not an MSP's.

Where Cynomi does not publish a detail, this table says so instead of guessing. If anything here is out of date, email tony@seqora.app and it will be corrected.

The demand behind both products is real. Cynomi's own 2026 MSP research found that 79% of MSPs and MSSPs see high SMB demand for vCISO services. The question this page answers is not whether to run a vCISO practice on a platform. It is what a 2-to-10-client practice should pay for one.

Where Cynomi is the right answer

A comparison page you can trust has to be able to say this part out loud.

Operating at scale

Cynomi is built for MSPs, MSSPs, and consultancies running many client environments with a delivery team. If that is your shape, a platform designed around that scale earns its price.

A dedicated TPRM tier

Cynomi sells third-party risk management as its own tier. If vendor risk assessments across a large client base are a core service line for you, that packaging matters.

A funded roadmap

A $37M Series B in 2025 buys a lot of product development. If you want the breadth that funding builds, and the price that comes with it, Cynomi is the safer bet at scale.

Where Seqora is built for you

The solo and small-practice consultant is not a smaller version of an MSP. Different economics, different client relationship, different tool.

Pricing you can see

$99, $249, or $499 a month, on a public pricing page, with a free trial. Cynomi, Vanta, and Drata all quote through sales. Your platform cost is knowable before you talk to anyone.

Sized for 2 to 10 clients

Multi-tenant portfolio, per-client workspaces, and team seats, without paying for scale you do not have. Adding a client costs you nothing extra on your plan's cap.

Reports FOR the consultant

Board reports in your branding, read-only share links, monthly client digest emails, posture alerts. The big platforms report to the company being audited. Seqora reports for the consultant who owns the relationship.

6 guided assessments

HIPAA, SOC 2, NIST CSF 2.0, FTC Safeguards, CIS v8.1 IG1, and ISO 27001, each a plain-English interview that generates scored risks, dated remediation tasks, and a filed evidence record in minutes.

The crosswalk

Work done in one framework projects onto the other five, so you can tell a client "your HIPAA work already covers a chunk of SOC 2" with numbers behind it.

Advisory workflow, not audit plumbing

Risk register, engagement task packs, recurring cadence, engagement journal, incident log. The tool is shaped around running a practice, not around one company's audit.

Seqora vs Cynomi, asked plainly

Is Seqora a Cynomi alternative?

For a specific buyer, yes. Both are multi-tenant vCISO platforms. Cynomi is built and priced for MSPs, MSSPs, and consultancies operating at scale. Seqora is built and priced for the solo or small fractional vCISO practice with roughly 2 to 10 clients. If you are the second buyer, Seqora is the alternative sized for you. If you are the first, Cynomi is the better fit.

How much does Cynomi cost?

Cynomi does not publish pricing. It is quoted per account through a sales process, and as of July 2026 small-team licenses start in the low five figures per year. Seqora publishes its pricing: $99, $249, or $499 per month, self-serve, with a free trial and no sales call.

When should I buy Cynomi instead of Seqora?

When you operate at MSP or MSSP scale: dozens of client environments, a delivery team, and a budget where a low-five-figure annual platform license is routine. Cynomi also sells a dedicated third-party risk management tier, and its Series B funds a large roadmap. At that scale, buy Cynomi.
