The options
What people compare Capexplan with
Capexplan’s published calculator shows US$13,500 a year for 50 users, a list-price example rather than a customer invoice. Owners look for an alternative when a recurring per-user licence does not suit the way they want to manage their capital records and process.

How to choose a Capexplan alternative
- 1
What your bill is tied to
Capexplan’s published pricing is based on the number of users, with admins and other users priced alike. Check whether your current bill grows with the people who need access, and compare that with a setup fee followed by a monthly retainer or a free version you run yourself.
- 2
Where your records live
Check whether you can keep your capital records in a database your business owns, rather than relying only on access to a service. If you switch, make sure you understand which records can move, what stays available, and how historical decisions are supported by evidence.
- 3
Fit with your own process
List the fields, checks and evidence your team needs for requests, approvals, spending and completion reviews. A system built around your business can reflect those rules. Check what the free version covers and what needs to be shaped for your own process.

What switching involves
Capexplan supports selected exports to Excel and CSV. The free version reads a mapped request export for one budget and currency at a time, while a fuller migration can include invoices, attachments and other history. Check how historical approval labels will be verified against their evidence.
The option that fits
A capital system built around your business
An owned capital system can fit the way your business runs, rather than asking you to fit a standard process. Enterprise DNA brings your Capexplan data across and sets up your version in a database your business owns. You can work with it in plain language. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. If you prefer to run it yourself, there is also a free version.

Capexplan supports selected exports to Excel and CSV. The free version reads a mapped request export and retains the original rows. Historical approval labels remain unverified until their evidence is reviewed. A fuller migration can map invoices, attachments and other history.
Can the system follow our approval rules? expand_more
The free version lets a trusted operator record a spending decision and its evidence, check the available budget and preserve the history. Enterprise DNA can build authenticated team decisions and your delegation limits into a custom version when those are needed.
