How to choose a Grade.us alternative
- 1
What drives the bill
Check whether you pay by location, user or another measure, and how the bill changes as your business grows. Grade.us lists per-location rates for 41 to 100 locations, with a different rate for annual billing. Compare the term and your location count with the services you actually need.

Who keeps your records
Ask whether you can take your review history with you and where it will live after a switch. Grade.us documents review exports. An owned version keeps imported records in a database you own, with response decisions and evidence beside them.
- 3
Does it fit your rules
Check whether the system can reflect how your team handles reviews, including your fields, response ownership and approval steps. A version built around your business can keep the original review, proposed reply and decision together, rather than making your team adapt to a standard process.

What switching involves
The export column layout needs checking, so the move includes mapping your records and reconciling counts and date ranges. Campaigns, attachments and platform permissions need separate migration work. Include an export before cancellation in your switch plan, and agree which services need replacing.

Questions
Grade.us alternatives, answered
Will an alternative cover everything I use in Grade.us? expand_more
Not automatically. Grade.us provides collection, monitoring, hosted access, connected replies and branded reporting. The free version holds imported review records, response decisions and evidence. Enterprise DNA agrees which services you need and builds the permitted connections and shared screens into your version.
Can my Grade.us review history move with me? expand_more
Yes, using the individual review exports available in your account. The column layout needs checking, so your actual records are mapped and the counts and date range reconciled. Campaigns, attachments and platform permissions need separate migration work. Include an export before cancellation.
Will the new system post replies for my team? expand_more
The free version prepares private replies and records approval. Your operator posts the approved wording and records the evidence. It does not send replies or remove reviews. Enterprise DNA can scope permitted connections for your version, based on the services and rules your business needs.
How does the owned version charge? expand_more
Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer for ongoing operation and changes. The work is agreed around your locations, review history, connections and response rules. There is also a free version you can run yourself.
