How to choose a Bionic alternative
- 1
What drives the bill
Check what your bill follows. Bionic’s published example is based on five units, with a minimum of five, and the quote depends on users, integrations and media spend. Compare those terms with how your team uses the planning desk and what you need to pay for.

Who owns your records
Ask where your campaign and delivery records will live, and whether you can keep them in a database you own. Your records are the basis for planning, spend checks and documents, so be clear about who holds them and how you can access them.
- 3
Fit with your working rules
Check whether the fields and checks fit the way your business plans and reviews work. Your process may need separate campaign flights, currency checks, approval steps or evidence reviews. A version built around your business can reflect the rules your team uses.

What switching involves
Find out what can move from your campaign worksheet and what needs separate work. The free version imports planned flight records and keeps each line identity and source row. Different headings need matching, while delivery figures, invoices, evidence and approvals need separate entry or migration work.
