How to choose a NextRequest alternative
- 1
Compare the full cost
Start with your current NextRequest invoice and what it covers. Its price is quoted for each organisation, so there is no public list price to use as a baseline. Compare the full replacement scope too, including hosting, subscriptions and the time needed to operate it.
- 2
Keep control of your records
Check where your request history will live and whether you can keep using it for new questions and reports. With the owned option, your records sit in a database your business owns, with original export rows kept alongside the working history.
- 3
Match your fields and rules
Check whether the request desk can use your own fields, review rules and reports. Your version can be built around how your agency handles requests. Authorised officers still make release decisions and check deadlines against applicable law.
- 4
Plan the move carefully
NextRequest provides a Requests Report download with selectable fields. The request register can be brought across while preserving original rows, then headings, dates, statuses and counts can be reconciled with you. Documents and message archives need a separate migration plan.

Questions
NextRequest alternatives, answered
How should I compare the cost with our current renewal? expand_more
NextRequest pricing is quoted for each organisation, so compare your actual renewal and included services rather than assuming a saving. The free version has no licence fee, but hosting, your agent subscription and operating time are separate. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer.
Can we bring our existing request history across? expand_more
NextRequest provides a Requests Report download with selectable fields. Enterprise DNA can bring across the request register, preserve original rows, then reconcile headings, dates, statuses and counts with you. Documents and message archives need a separate migration plan, so keep existing processes in place until any new connections are installed and tested.
What happens to our public intake and document review? expand_more
The free version runs the internal request desk. Enterprise DNA can build the intake and staff screens your agency needs and connect approved document tools. Keep your existing intake, redaction and delivery process until the new connections are installed and tested.
Will the system decide what to release or set legal deadlines? expand_more
No. Your authorised officers make release decisions and check applicable law, holidays, redacted files and complaint rights. The system records the jurisdiction, reviewed due date, reasons and supporting evidence, and flags missing details or dates that have passed. Nothing sends or publishes from the free version.
