Where Cadenio goes further
Where Cadenio goes beyond Flowster
Grows without a ceiling
Flowster caps at 10 users on Enterprise. Cadenio has no artificial limit — the same blueprint that runs for 5 people runs for 500, with the same audit trail and compliance guarantees.
Audit trail for real external audit
Flowster's completion history shows who clicked 'complete'. Cadenio generates a compliance record: who, when, with what evidence, in which process version. The difference shows up at the first audit request.
Native regulatory compliance
Flowster has no compliance certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, LGPD). Cadenio was built to operate in regulated environments: RBAC, audit trail, per-task evidence, and Cora for continuous monitoring.

Frequently asked questions
Questions about Flowster vs. Cadenio
Does Flowster have a real audit trail?
Flowster has a task completion history that shows who marked each step as done. This history is not equivalent to a compliance record: there are no mandatory per-task evidence fields, no reference to the process or version executed, and it is not suitable for formal external audits (ISO, SOC 2, LGPD).
Is Cadenio more expensive than Flowster?
Flowster has plans starting at $24/month for up to 2 users. For teams growing past 10 people or with compliance requirements, the cost of not having a proper audit trail — in rework, failed audits, or security incidents — typically exceeds the tool cost. Talk to our team for a personalized comparison.
Can I migrate my Flowster SOPs?
Yes. Flowster allows exporting workflow content in a readable format. Our team converts the content to Cadenio blueprints with owner, due date, and evidence field. Most SOPs migrate in 1-3 business days.
When is Flowster still the right choice?
Flowster is excellent for digital marketing agencies, e-commerce teams, and small operations (up to 10 people) that need repetitive checklists without formal compliance requirements. If that's your profile, Flowster may be enough. When the team grows or compliance arrives, Cadenio is the next step.
What is Flowster's 10-user limit?
Flowster's Enterprise plan supports up to 10 users. For larger teams, custom pricing is required — and the per-user cost increases significantly. Cadenio has no artificial user limit: the same plan that serves 10 people serves 100.
