The options

What people compare CRIO with

CRIO does not publish a price. You get a quote after a demo. If the quote, platform scope or fit with your site’s own rules is not right, you may be looking for an alternative.

Often compared

SimpleTrials

SimpleTrials lists its site plan at $599 a month, plus a startup fee. It may suit a site comparing a published monthly price with CRIO’s privately quoted price.

How to choose

How to choose a CRIO alternative

  1. 1

    What drives the bill

    Check whether the cost changes with the number of people using it, the studies you run, or the parts of the platform you need. CRIO does not publish a price, so ask for a quote and compare it with the work and services included.

  2. 2

    Who owns your records

    Ask where participant and study records live, who controls access, and what you can take with you if you leave. In the owned option, records sit in a database your site owns, hosted where you choose, including Australia or New Zealand.

  3. 3

    Fit with your site rules

    List the fields, workflows and checks your team actually uses, including visit windows, fees, binder dates and safety reporting. A version built around your site can reflect your own rules, while checks can flag gaps and show the rule behind each finding.

  4. 4

    What switching involves

    Find out which records can move and which must stay. A spreadsheet with one row per subject and another per visit can bring participants, visits and visit fees across. Source documents, binder files and audit trails stay where they are.

The option that fits

A version built around your site

Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your site runs, brings across agreed CRIO records and operates it for you. Your records sit in a database your site owns, hosted where you choose. You pay one setup fee, then a monthly retainer for the agreed customisation and operation. If you would rather manage it yourself, there is also a free version you can run.

Questions

CRIO alternatives, answered

Does an alternative replace CRIO’s eSource? expand_more

No. The free version covers the site’s business operations, including schedules, money, the binder, delegation and safety reporting clocks. Source data and case report forms stay in the sponsor’s system, on paper, or in a source tool you keep. Many sites move operations and leave source data where it is.

Can existing CRIO records be brought across? expand_more

CRIO offers standard reports and a report builder. A spreadsheet with one row per subject and another per visit can bring participants, visits and visit fees across. Source documents, binder files and audit trails stay where they are. The scope and a test run are agreed before switching.

Where will our records be stored? expand_more

In a database your site owns, hosted where you choose, including Australia or New Zealand. In the free version, records use subject numbers and initials rather than full names. Enterprise DNA sets access and backups with you in the version it runs.

How much does an alternative cost? expand_more

CRIO does not publish a price and gives a quote after a demo. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer for agreed customisation and operation. The free version has no licence fee, though hosting and your chosen assistant have separate costs.
