The options
What people compare ScopeStack with
ScopeStack displays a $12,800 credit example for 200 projects per year, with no currency code shown, rather than a quote for your business. You may be looking for an alternative if expiring credits, separately priced connections or keeping your service records in a database you own matter to your business.

How to choose a ScopeStack alternative
- 1
What drives the bill
ScopeStack's current credit model includes unlimited users, so a seat-count saving is not the reason to switch. Compare your project volume and credit use, the 12-month expiry, any connections you need and the listed onboarding or advisory costs against the costs of running your own system.

Where your records live
Check where your service catalogue and related records are held, what you can export and what happens to them if you leave. An owned version keeps the catalogue in a database you own. Make sure you understand which records can move across and which need separate handling.
- 3
Fit with your rules
Check whether the system can reflect your service wording, fields, rates and approval steps. A standard service library may not match how your team estimates or signs off work. Enterprise DNA builds each business its own version around how it runs, including the fields and rules it needs.

What switching involves
The free version imports the documented professional-service CSV, including parent services, subservices and custom wording. Rates need review. Project history, signed documents and existing approvals need an agreed mapping, so find out which records you need to bring across and how they will be checked before switching.
The option that fits
A version built around your business
Enterprise DNA builds your own service-scoping version around how your business works, brings your ScopeStack data across and runs it for you. Your service catalogue sits in a database you own, and your fields, wording and approval rules can reflect your process. The arrangement is one setup fee followed by a monthly retainer, with no per-seat plans. If you want to start yourself, there is also a free version you can run on your own.

Questions
ScopeStack alternatives, answered
Can I bring my ScopeStack service catalogue across? expand_more
The free version imports the documented professional-service CSV, including parent services, subservices and custom wording. Hourly rates need review before use. Project history, signed documents and existing approvals need an agreed mapping, so confirm which records you need and how they will be checked before you switch.
Will an alternative cost less than ScopeStack? expand_more
That depends on your usage and what you need to run. ScopeStack's current credit model includes unlimited users, so compare project-related credit use, expiry, connections and any onboarding costs rather than assuming a per-seat saving. Running your own system also has operating costs, and Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee followed by a monthly retainer.
Can the system follow our own approval rules? expand_more
Enterprise DNA builds each business its own version around how it runs, including the fields and approval steps it needs. The free version covers service estimates, assumptions and revision review. If your process includes other requirements, agree how those fit into the version built for your team.
What happens to approvals when an estimate changes? expand_more
In the owned version, a revised estimate starts a fresh approval cycle, while previous approvals remain in the history beside the submitted snapshot. Technical and commercial reviewers are separate. Check how your existing approvals will be mapped before switching, as they need an agreed approach.
