How to choose a MyApiary alternative
- 1
Compare the full bill
MyApiary Manager Commercial lists US$999 per user a year, excluding taxes. Extraction is separate, and other Manager options have different limits and pricing. Compare your actual contract and the field work you need before judging the full bill.
- 2
Keep your records yours
Check whether your records remain in a database you own, rather than only being available through a vendor account. With an owned version, your records stay in your database, so you can keep control of them as your operation changes.
- 3
Fit your own way of working
List the fields, site rules, reports and team routines you rely on. An owned version can be built around your operation, including custom fields and private reports, rather than asking your team to fit every record into a standard setup.
- 4
Know what the switch involves
MyApiary documents downloads for sites, landowners and latest site status. Latest status is a snapshot, so earlier visits, treatments, attachments and extraction history may need separate source records and reconciliation. Ask what can be mapped and checked before you switch.
The option that fits
A version built around your operation
Enterprise DNA builds your version around the way your operation works, brings across the MyApiary data that can be mapped and checked, and runs the routines agreed with your team. Your records sit in a database you own, with fields and reports tailored to your needs. The managed option has one setup fee, then a monthly retainer, with no per-seat plans. If you would rather run it yourself, there is a free version.

Questions
MyApiary alternatives, answered
Will an owned version cost less than MyApiary? expand_more
The free version has no software licence charge. A managed version has a setup fee and monthly retainer. Whether that costs less depends on your current contract and the work you need, including field capture, support and migration. Compare the complete job rather than assuming the owned option is cheaper.
Can my site history come across when I switch? expand_more
MyApiary documents downloads for sites, landowners and latest site status. Enterprise DNA maps column names and checks counts before importing. Latest site status is only a snapshot, so earlier visits, treatments, attachments and extraction history need separate source records and reconciliation.
Can the system fit our fields and site rules? expand_more
Yes. Your version can be set up around your site rules, fields and reports, with routines agreed with your team. Custom fields and private reports can reflect your operation. Changes can be made as the season changes, rather than requiring you to keep the same review questions year after year.
Does it replace official AFB or harvest processes? expand_more
No. It can highlight missing evidence and prepare records for review, but official AFB returns stay with HiveHub or the Management Agency. Harvest declarations remain with the current MPI process. Disease decisions, treatment instructions and food safety checks remain with the responsible people.
