Number of Seats/Users: Cynomi offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows Cynomi that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from Cynomi. Cynomi reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: Cynomi offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from Cynomi. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: Cynomi often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Common pain points and gaps

Our internal feedback from Spendbase clients surfaces a few recurring asks:

• Language support

• Missing Brazilian Portuguese is noted as a blocker for some regions.

• Frameworks & coverage

• Desire for more industry-specific frameworks (e.g., US water and wastewater).

• Integrations & automation

• More dynamic integrations with common SaaS tools (especially Microsoft 365).
• Better on-prem scanning probe deployment.

• Interest in AI assistance for packaging deliverables.

• Content clarity

• Certain questionnaire sections (e.g., on-prem/hosted servers, Active Directory) need clearer guidance or contextual help.

How this ties to Spendbase discount strategy

From a Spendbase perspective, Cynomi shows:

• High ROI potential for MSPs, MSSPs and consultancies due to efficiency gains.
• Strong fit for cost-sensitive SMB portfolios.
• Clear roadmap-driven improvements that further protect long-term value.

When negotiating or optimizing Cynomi spend, we typically focus on:

• Leveraging multi-tenant scale (more clients onboarded, better unit economics).
• Aligning contract terms with upcoming roadmap needs (frameworks, integrations, language support).
• Bundling vCISO services to maximize the margin Cynomi already helps create.

In short, our clients see Cynomi as a powerful, easy-to-use vCISO platform with excellent support and strong economics, with most concerns focused on feature depth and localization rather than core value.
