Synoro vs Canopy

Canopy organizes your practice. Synoro runs it

Canopy bundles practice management, documents, and a portal — organization, not execution. Synoro is PM + execution + portal + economics in one governed system.

The gap

Pain point

Canopy sells AI as a separate paid add-on (Power-Ups) on top of per-user pricing ($74–$149/user/month on Plus), so automation costs extra even after you're already paying for practice management. Its Close Automation add-on is $10/client/month — it scans the ledger for issues; it doesn't categorize, reconcile, or draft the close.

Synoro fix

Synoro's agents are built in — not an upsell. $5 per company per month, all included, covers PM, execution, portal, and firm economics. You don't pay twice to get the work actually done.

Worked example

5-person firm · 50 client companies

Canopy

Canopy Plus + Close Automation

~$995/month — $545 base (5 × $109/user) plus ~$450 Close Automation on 45 billable clients (5 free). AI watches the close; your staff still does the books.

Synoro

Synoro (50 active companies)

$250/month — 50 active companies × $5. Unlimited users. Integrations, practice management, portal, and agents included. Start with a 60-day free trial; cancel anytime.

Canopy is ~$995/month for five seats plus a close add-on that watches the books. Synoro is $250/month for 50 companies — unlimited users, AI included, not an add-on.

The difference

Where Canopy stops, Synoro continues.

Organization isn't execution

Canopy bundles PM, documents, and a portal, then charges extra for AI Power-Ups. No agents run categorization, reconciliation, or close in the base product. Synoro does the work inside the system that organizes it — without a second invoice for automation.

Reporting at the ledger level

Canopy has no consolidated, ledger-level reporting. Synoro builds multi-entity P&L and balance sheets straight from the ledger.

Economics, computed

Canopy tracks margin in modules. Synoro computes it from time, payroll, and AI cost per client.

Per-client revenue, cost, and margin — the proof behind the claim.
