The options
What people compare Assignar with
Assignar is quoted privately, with no public rate on its pricing page. Many owners start looking for an alternative when they want their records to stay theirs, rules built around their own crews and plant, and a bill that is not tied to extra seats.

How to choose a Assignar alternative
- 1
What the bill is tied to
Assignar publishes no rate card and quotes privately for your team. Check whether that quote scales with the number of seats or crews you add, and compare it against your current renewal rather than an estimated figure before you decide what to replace.
- 2
Whether your records stay yours
Assignar holds your scheduling, workforce and competency records inside its own system. Ask where that data sits, how you export it, and whether you can still use it if you ever stop paying for the plan.
- 3
Whether it fits your own rules and fields
Assignar's forms and checks are built for general scheduling and workforce management. Decide whether your prestarts, inductions and plant records need fields or checks specific to civil crews, and whether the tool lets you add them.

What the switch involves
Moving off Assignar means mapping your timesheets, plant records, competencies and dockets into a new system. Check which exports are supported directly and which records need separate mapping before you commit to a date.
The option that fits
Own your version instead of renting Assignar's
Enterprise DNA builds each business its own version of Civil Contractor for Claude Code, shaped around how your crews, plant and dockets actually run. It brings your Assignar data across, including the documented timesheet export, and runs the system for you. You pay one setup fee, then a monthly retainer, with no per-seat plans and your records kept in a database you own.

Questions
Assignar alternatives, answered
How is pricing different from Assignar's per-seat plans? expand_more
Assignar quotes privately and its public pricing page gives no rate card. Civil Contractor for Claude Code has no per-seat plans. Enterprise DNA agrees one setup fee for building your version, then a monthly retainer to run it, so your bill is not tied to how many logins you add.
Can I try the free version before paying for anything? expand_more
Yes. The open-source base of Civil Contractor for Claude Code is free to run yourself. It handles office records and the documented MYOB AccountRight timesheet import. If you want your version built, migrated and run for you, Enterprise DNA scopes that work separately for a setup fee and retainer.
What happens to our existing Assignar records when we switch? expand_more
Enterprise DNA scopes the migration around whatever exports your Assignar account actually offers, then checks the result against your originals. Timesheets in the documented MYOB AccountRight format import directly. Plant, competencies, inductions, dockets and attachments each need separate mapping, and any hours without a project stay visibly unassigned until you reconcile them.
Does owning our own system mean losing support? expand_more
No. Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your business runs, brings your records across, and keeps running it for you under the monthly retainer. You are not left to manage the technical side alone, and the free version remains an option if you ever want to run it yourself.
