How to choose a Dramatify alternative
- 1
What your bill is tied to
Compare what you pay with how many people need editing access, not the total cast and crew. Dramatify charges Professional per paid editor, with read-only cast and crew free. Check your actual plan and billing choice, then compare that bill with the costs of an alternative.
- 2
Who owns your records
Ask where the production records are held and who owns them. An owned option keeps your records in a database you own. Check which records you can retain and use, and what access your team needs, before comparing a hosted service with an owned system.
- 3
Fit with your working rules
List the fields, checks and working rules your production office relies on. A fixed tool may not match how you handle calls, hours or approvals. With a custom version, Enterprise DNA can build around your processes, so check that the proposed version covers the work your team actually does.

What switching involves
Treat the move as a records project, not just a change of tool. Dramatify's documented import covers daily working-hours records, while schedules, breakdowns and other project records need separate mapping and checking. Agree what will move, how it will be checked and what remains in Dramatify before you switch.
The option that fits
Own a version built for your business
If you want production records and working rules to fit your own operation, an owned version can be a closer fit than choosing another fixed product. Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your business runs, brings across the Dramatify data you need and runs it for you. You pay one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. There is also a free version you can run yourself.

Questions
Dramatify alternatives, answered
What does Dramatify Professional cost? expand_more
Dramatify Professional lists US$36 per paid editor per month on monthly billing, or US$27 per paid editor per month with annual billing. There is a five-seat minimum, and read-only cast and crew access is free. Compare your paid editor count and billing choice with the costs of the alternative you are considering.
Can we keep our production records in a database we own? expand_more
The free version is a production-office system built around a database you own. Enterprise DNA can build your version around how your business works and run it for you. It charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. If you use the free version, you can run it yourself.
How much of our Dramatify history can we move? expand_more
The documented import covers daily working-hours records after the roster and export headings have been matched. Schedules, breakdowns and other project records need separate mapping and checking. Enterprise DNA includes that work in the switch plan and checks the record counts with you.
Do cast and crew need paid access? expand_more
The free version has no per-person licence charge, and Dramatify includes read-only cast and crew access free. In a custom setup, individual crew access and permissions are part of the setup. Compare like for like: a paid editor seat is different from someone who only needs to read records.
