The options
What people compare Assent with
Assent publishes no price, and its platform is quoted privately after a demo. Owners look for an alternative when the renewal is hard to compare with the rules they need, and their supplier records sit in a vendor’s platform.

How to choose a Assent alternative
- 1
Know what sets the bill
Assent’s quote depends on the rules covered, the number of parts and suppliers, and added services. Compare that with your renewal and the rules you actually need to answer, rather than assuming the quoted scope matches your business.
- 2
Keep control of your records
Years of declarations, exemptions and supplier history can sit in the vendor’s platform. Before switching, check what you can export and whether the records and evidence remain accessible. The owned option keeps your records in a database you own, with changes and supporting evidence recorded.
- 3
Check the rules and fields
List the rules your customers ask about and the fields your team needs to track. Check whether the system handles the rules you sell under and connects part-level answers to products. You may not need a broad set of regulations if you answer only a few.
- 4
Plan the move before renewal
Check what Assent information you can export. Parts, suppliers and each part’s status under each rule can come from a part-level report. Your columns are mapped and tested before loading. Parts still pending come across as missing, while products and bills of materials come from your own system.
The option that fits
A version built around your business
An owned version can fit the rules, records and working practices your business actually uses. Enterprise DNA builds your version around how you run the work, brings across Assent data and runs it for you. Your records sit in a database you own, and you can work with it in plain language. There is one setup fee, then a monthly retainer, with no per-seat plans. A free version is available to run yourself.

Questions
Assent alternatives, answered
What will Assent charge our business? expand_more
Assent does not publish a price. Its platform is sold by quote after a demo, with the rules covered, the number of parts and suppliers, and any added services setting the figure. Your renewal is the number to compare with the rules you actually answer.
Can an alternative cover the compliance work we need? expand_more
The owned version covers work exporters use to answer customers about RoHS, REACH Candidate List substances and SCIP, California Proposition 65, and conflict minerals templates. It does not run a supplier portal or a regulatory research team, and it does not record a full material breakdown of every part.
Can we bring our Assent records across? expand_more
Parts, suppliers and each part’s status under each rule can come from a part-level report saved as CSV. The columns are mapped, then a test run shows what was loaded. Parts still pending come across as missing, so they can be followed up. Products and bills of materials come from your own system.
What costs and work come with switching? expand_more
The free version has no licence fee, but running it has hosting and usage costs. For a version built and run by Enterprise DNA, there is one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. There are no per-seat plans, so quality, sales and engineering can all look.
