The options
What people compare Layline with
Layline lists $1,000 per analyst per month, with the dollar currency unspecified in its pricing block. If that seat-based bill does not fit how your business works, you may be looking for an alternative that keeps your records and rules under your control.
Often compared
Enqlare
A laytime and demurrage alternative with quote-led pricing. Its current pricing page redirects to quote-led plans, so a five-figure bill is not established.

How to choose a Layline alternative
- 1
What drives the bill
Layline's public price is $1,000 per analyst per month, with currency unspecified in its pricing block. Compare that with your actual agreement, then consider whether you want a recurring analyst-seat bill or a setup fee followed by a monthly retainer for an agreed managed version.
- 2
Where your records stay
Check whether you can keep the original statement and event evidence in a database you own. The free version can import supported text-based PDF statements exported from Layline. Reconcile the event count and review imported records before relying on a calculation.
- 3
Fit with your rules
List your contract terms, fields, exclusions and review steps before choosing. The free base handles fixed allowances and separately settled port calls with reviewed exclusions. Other arrangements should be scoped around your actual work, rather than assuming a tool will follow every rule.

What switching involves
A switch starts with the Layline worksheet export. A supported text-based PDF can be imported and checked against its event count. Scanned statements, other layouts and records not in the PDF need an agreed migration. Your analyst still reviews contract terms and exclusions before calculating.
The option that fits
A version built around your business
Enterprise DNA builds your Laytime version around your contracts, fields and review process, brings supported Layline statement data across, then looks after the database and reports for you. Your records sit in a database you own, and your analyst reviews terms and exclusions before calculations. You pay one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. If you prefer to run it yourself, there is also a free version.

Questions
Layline alternatives, answered
What will it cost to replace Layline? expand_more
Layline lists an analyst seat at $1,000 per month. Twelve monthly payments total $12,000, but its pricing block does not state the currency, so check your contract. The free version has no licence fee, though it still takes work to run and maintain. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer.
Can our existing Layline records move across? expand_more
The free version imports a supported text-based PDF from the Layline worksheet export and checks the event count. Your analyst reviews the imported records before using them in a calculation. Scanned statements, other layouts and records that are not in the PDF need an agreed migration.
Can the alternative follow our charter rules? expand_more
The free base handles fixed allowances and separately settled port calls with reviewed exclusions. Your analyst supplies the valid commencement and reviews exclusion windows. Other arrangements should be scoped around your actual work, and your analyst remains responsible for checking the contract terms and evidence.
Who looks after the system after setup? expand_more
Enterprise DNA can operate your agreed version, maintain the database and reports, and handle agreed changes through a monthly retainer. Your team keeps responsibility for contractual decisions and reviews. If you prefer to manage the system yourself, there is also a free version.
