What people compare DirectSDS with
DirectSDS Pro for 4,000 safety sheets is listed at US$923 a month, or US$11,076 across twelve monthly payments, though your actual plan and bill can differ. Owners look for alternatives when the bill scales with sheet volume and they want their records and delivery evidence handled on their own terms.

How to choose a DirectSDS alternative
- 1
What drives the bill
DirectSDS plans scale with the number of safety sheets in your library, and Basic, Premium and Pro offer different document access and delivery capabilities. Check which features you use and how your contract compares with the published Pro tier, listed at US$923 a month for 4,000 sheets.

Who owns your records
Check where your records and document copies live. Exported permanent links still point to DirectSDS, so an export alone does not give you owned supplier documents. A move needs to account for securing your own supplier-issued copies and keeping delivery evidence with the relevant obligations.
- 3
Fit with your own rules
Check whether the setup can reflect how you work, including your fields, review steps and customer obligations. Product, country and language matter when you handle Australian and New Zealand editions. Your own fields and rules can be added as the business changes.

What switching involves
DirectSDS documents an export with product codes and document links. The columns and supplier metadata need mapping, while customer obligations and delivery history need separate reconciliation. Plan how to secure supplier copies, and scope and test any order connections or delivery functions before relying on them.
The option that fits
A version built around your business
Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your business handles products, suppliers, customers and document reviews. Your records sit in a database you own, where you can ask plain-language questions about documents and obligations. Enterprise DNA brings the agreed DirectSDS records across and runs the version for you. The arrangement is one setup fee, then a monthly retainer, with no per-seat plans. There is also a free version you can run yourself.

Questions
DirectSDS alternatives, answered
How much does DirectSDS cost? expand_more
DirectSDS Pro for 4,000 safety sheets is listed at US$923 a month. Twelve monthly payments total US$11,076. That is a published tier example, not a verified customer invoice, and your actual plan and bill can differ.
Can you bring our DirectSDS information across? expand_more
DirectSDS documents an export containing product codes and document links. The exported columns and supplier metadata need mapping. Customer obligations and delivery history need separate reconciliation, and vendor-hosted links do not become owned supplier documents just because they were exported.
Will the free version send safety sheets for us? expand_more
No. The free version prepares internal packs and records evidence of deliveries already completed through your authorised channel. It sends nothing. For an installed version, Enterprise DNA scopes and tests order connections, delivery and customer document access.
Can the setup match our local process? expand_more
Your version can be built around your business rules and fields. Product, country and language can be recorded so Australian and New Zealand editions are separate. You can also keep supplier versions, review status and delivery evidence together with the relevant customer obligation.
