Quick Onboarding with No Learning Curve
Meetings that make sense
Asana can overwhelm new users with its extensive options and graphics, creating a steep learning curve—especially without proper training. Cynoia's clean, straightforward interface is designed for immediate accessibility. Teams with limited tech experience can get productive from day one, with no complex onboarding required. This makes Cynoia ideal for organizations with varying levels of digital literacy.

Complete Workspace
Built-In Communication Where Work Happens
Your time, your way
Asana requires integrating separate tools for real-time chat and video meetings, fragmenting team communication. Cynoia integrates projects, real-time chat and video calls in one platform, so conversations happen right where your tasks live. No switching between apps or losing context. This unified approach simplifies team collaboration, especially crucial in environments with limited internet access or training resources.

Everyone in sync
Asana's numerous settings and options can "complicate even basic tasks" for small teams. Cynoia intentionally focuses on the essential features that African SMBs actually use daily. You get task management, team chat, meetings, notes, and calendars—without complex configurations or rarely-used features. This practical approach helps teams stay focused on delivering projects rather than managing their tools.

Affordable Pricing
Pricing That Grows With Your Business
Google Calendar integration
Asana's per-user pricing model becomes expensive as teams grow, with premium features locked behind higher tiers. Cynoia offers a free Community Plan for up to 10 users and predictable pricing beyond that, including a flat-rate unlimited option. This means African startups and SMEs can expand their team on Cynoia without skyrocketing costs—a critical advantage in price-sensitive markets where every dollar counts.
