The options

What people compare SuccessionHR with

SuccessionHR lists US$11,954 a year for up to 250 key roles and US$36,618 for 501+ roles, on a three-year term billed upfront, with onboarding charged separately. If that commitment and a system centred on role counts do not suit your business, you may be looking for a way to keep your records and review rules under your control.

How to choose

How to choose a SuccessionHR alternative

  1. 1

    What drives the bill?

    SuccessionHR ties its published tiers to the number of key roles, not the number of people using it. Check the role count, the three-year upfront commitment, onboarding and any options in your quote. Compare those costs with the full cost of owning and running a focused system.

  2. 2

    Who owns your records?

    Find out whether you can access and use your records if you change systems. SuccessionHR’s public pages describe its data model but do not document a record export. For a move, agree how your records will be mapped and checked before changing systems.

  3. 3

    Can it fit your rules?

    Check whether the system can reflect your role fields, evidence requirements, development steps and review process. If your rules change, consider whether you can update them without fitting your business to fixed fields. Enterprise DNA builds each business its own version around how it works.

  4. 4

    What does switching involve?

    Plan for more than moving names. Agree what records can be provided, map them to the new system and check the result against your source counts. Attachments, surveys and access settings may need separate work. Settle who can see each record before managers use the system.

The option that fits

A version built around your business

If your roles, fields and review rules do not fit a standard tool, owning your version can suit your business better. Enterprise DNA builds a succession planning system around how you work, brings your records across using an agreed mapping, and runs it for you. Your records sit in a database you own. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. There is also a free version you can run yourself.

Questions

SuccessionHR alternatives, answered

How much does SuccessionHR cost for key roles? expand_more

SuccessionHR lists US$11,954 a year for up to 250 key roles and US$36,618 for 501+ roles. The listed term is three years, billed upfront, with onboarding charged separately. Check your actual quote and role count before comparing it with the cost of running another system.

Can my SuccessionHR records move to another system? expand_more

They can be brought across once you can provide an authorised copy and agree how the records will be mapped. A native SuccessionHR export has not been confirmed. Attachments, surveys and access settings may need separate work, so agree the scope and check the mapped records before switching.

Can I change the fields and review rules? expand_more

Yes. Your version can be built around your role fields, evidence window, development steps and documents. Privacy checks can prompt a review of selected New Zealand record requirements, but they are not legal certification or a complete Australian compliance system.

Is the free version the same as an Enterprise DNA build? expand_more

The free version is for an owner or trusted operator to run themselves and has no licence fee. Hosting, an assistant subscription, migration and operating time can still cost money. Enterprise DNA builds and runs a version around your business for one setup fee, then a monthly retainer.
