How to choose a Centrim Life alternative
- 1
What is the bill tied to?
Ask what the bill follows: villages, staff, modules or a separate finance system. Centrim Life does not publish a price and is quoted after a demo. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer, rather than a per-seat plan.
- 2
Who owns your records?
Check whether you can keep your records in a database you own, and what happens to them if you change systems. With the owned option, your records sit in a database your business owns, rather than depending on a vendor’s system to access them.
- 3
Does it fit your rules?
Check whether the system can reflect your fields, contract terms and village processes. A standard product may not match how you handle exit entitlements, fees, maintenance or meetings. The owned option is built around your business and can include the rules your contracts require.
- 4
What does switching involve?
Centrim Life has no public export guide, but resident and unit lists can come out as a spreadsheet. Contract terms may need to come from your finance system or contract register. Enterprise DNA maps your columns and runs a test before you switch, with other records considered as part of the build.
The option that fits
A version built around your village
The owned option gives you a version shaped around how your villages run, rather than a standard app you have to fit. Enterprise DNA brings your Centrim Life records across, builds around your fields, contracts and operating rules, and runs it for you. Your records sit in a database you own, and you can work with it in plain language. There is a free version you can run yourself. For a built and operated version, you pay one setup fee, then a monthly retainer.

Questions
Centrim Life alternatives, answered
How much does Centrim Life cost compared with an owned option? expand_more
Centrim Life does not publish a price. Its seller quotes privately after a demo, and the finance system for contract and exit money has its own quote. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. The free version has no licence fee, though hosting and any chosen assistant have separate costs.
Which Centrim Life records can be moved across? expand_more
Resident and unit lists can come across from a spreadsheet, including details such as contacts, move-in dates and next of kin. Contract terms can come from your finance system or contract register. Enterprise DNA maps your columns and tests the transfer before you switch. Maintenance history and messages can stay in Centrim Life or be included in the build.
Can the system follow our contracts and local requirements? expand_more
The owned version can be built around your contract terms, including deferred management fees, capital gain share, refurbishment and unpaid fees. It can check records against the New South Wales and Queensland rules and the New Zealand AGM deadline. It is not legal advice, and your lawyer still needs to sign off your contracts.
What if residents use an app or dining tablet? expand_more
The free version is for office work and has no resident app, kiosk or dining tablet. If residents depend on an app, Enterprise DNA can build the screens they need onto the same database or connect an app you keep.
