What people compare Affinity with
Affinity lists Advanced at $2,700 per user per year, billed annually, and Essential at $2,000, but does not name the currency. If your bill grows with every person who needs access, you may be looking for an alternative with a different cost and a better fit for how your business works.

How to choose a Affinity alternative
- 1
What your bill is tied to
Affinity charges per user per year and bills annually, so each additional person means another seat. Compare that with an option that has no per-seat pricing. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee for your version, then a monthly retainer. The free version has no licence fee, though hosting it and using a coding assistant have their own costs.

Who owns your records
Check whether you can keep and export your records if you change tools. Your own version runs on a database your business owns, and you can export it at any time. Affinity lets an Enterprise admin turn off exporting for a role, so confirm what access your team has before you switch.

Fit for your fields and rules
A tool should reflect the records and checks your business actually uses. Consider the fields you need for companies, people, deals, introductions, committee decisions or portfolio figures, and how you want to record your rules. Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your business runs, rather than asking you to work to someone else's setup.

What switching involves
Find out what can be brought across and what needs extra work. Affinity can export organization, people and opportunity lists as CSV files, but notes and introductions are separate exports, and some fields do not export. Enterprise DNA brings your Affinity data across and runs the switch for you. The free version can read list exports and map statuses to your stages.

Can I make an alternative fit our own process? expand_more
Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your business runs, including the records and checks that matter to you. Your team can work with the records in plain language. There is also a free version you can run yourself, but it is not the same as a version built around your business.
Does the free version capture email and calendar activity? expand_more
The free version records the meetings, calls and introductions your team logs. Automatic capture from email and calendar is something Enterprise DNA builds into your version, connected to the mail system you use. If that capture matters to your team, ask about it when discussing the version built for your business.
