What people compare Port with

How to choose a Port alternative
- 1
What drives the bill?
Check whether your bill follows the number of people, the size of your catalog, or both. Port Basic is sold as a 50-seat package and lists 50,000 entities, while Standard covers up to 200 seats and lists 250,000 entities. Compare those limits with what your team actually uses.
- 2
Do your records stay yours?
Ask whether you can keep your service records in a database you own, rather than relying only on a hosted platform. With an owned version, you retain your records and can shape the catalog around your work. Be clear about which records and changes are included in the move.
- 3
Does it fit your rules?
List the fields and rules your team relies on, including how it records ownership, dependencies, evidence, exceptions and follow-up. Then check whether the alternative can reflect those rules. Port offers a broader hosted platform, while a custom version can be built around how your business runs.
- 4
What does switching involve?
Identify which Port records need to come across and how they will map. The service catalog can be exported as CSV or JSON, but dependencies, assessment history and permissions need separate mapping. Agree the scope, test the import, and decide who will operate the new version.
The option that fits
A version built around your business
If your team needs a catalog that follows its own rules, Enterprise DNA builds your business a version around how you work. It brings your Port data across and runs the service catalog for you. You pay one setup fee, then a monthly retainer, with no per-seat plans. If you prefer to do it yourself, there is also a free version you can run. This suits you when ownership, evidence and follow-up matter more than adopting a broader hosted platform.

Questions
Port alternatives, answered
How much does Port cost? expand_more
Port Basic starts at $30 per seat per month, billed annually, in a 50-seat package. Standard starts at $40 per seat per month and covers up to 200 seats. The vendor displays dollars without naming the currency, so confirm the contract currency.
Can I avoid a per-seat plan? expand_more
Port Basic is sold in a 50-seat package. The alternative offered here has no per-seat plans. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer to build and run your version. You can also choose the free version and run it yourself.
Can I move my Port records across? expand_more
Yes. The Port service catalog can be exported as CSV or JSON. The import maps the columns you choose and matches existing teams, with a test run first. Dependencies, assessment history and permissions need separate mapping, so agree that scope before the move.
Will an alternative fit how our team works? expand_more
The free version covers ownership, direct dependencies, recorded evidence, exceptions and follow-up work. Enterprise DNA can build your version around how your business runs. Port is a broader hosted platform, so agree which connections, access controls and self-service screens your team needs before deciding what to replace.
