How to choose a Synergy (Total Synergy) alternative
- 1
Check how the bill grows
Synergy's prices are quoted after a demo, with plans sized per user and five add-ons priced on request. Check how the bill changes as your team grows, then compare it with a setup fee and monthly retainer for a custom version. The key is whether each extra seat or capability adds cost.
- 2
Keep control of your records
Ask where your project, fee, time, invoice and people records live, and whether you can access them without the supplier. With the owned option, your records sit in a database you own. Before switching, confirm which reports, documents and invoice details transfer, and which need separate mapping.
- 3
Fit your rules and fields
Check whether the system can follow your fee stages, fee types, variation approvals and payment claims. Enterprise DNA builds each business its own version around how it runs, so you can use your own rules and fields instead of changing your processes to fit standard screens.
- 4
Plan the switch carefully
Synergy reports export to Excel, and the project breakdown and timesheet reports can bring across key project details and hours. Line-by-line invoice history, rate groups and documents do not come across on their own. Find out what needs mapping before you switch, so you know what records will be carried over.
The option that fits
A system built around your practice
Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your practice runs, using the same records in a database you own. You work with it in plain language, without paying per seat. Enterprise DNA brings across Synergy data and runs the system for you for one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. If you want to manage it yourself, there is also a free version.

- check Your records stay in a database you own.

Questions
Synergy (Total Synergy) alternatives, answered
How much does Synergy cost compared with an alternative? expand_more
Synergy does not publish its prices. Its Business and Enterprise plans and five add-ons are quoted after a demo. Plans are sized per user, with add-ons for analytics, the API, document control, HR and CRM. Enterprise DNA's option has one setup fee followed by a monthly retainer, while a free version is available to run yourself.
Can you move projects and timesheets out of Synergy? expand_more
Yes. Synergy reports export to Excel. The project breakdown can bring across projects, phases, stages, fee types, fees, progress and amounts already invoiced, while timesheet reports bring across hours. Line-by-line invoice history, rate groups and documents do not come across on their own, so Enterprise DNA maps those as part of your switch.
Can the alternative follow our fee and claims rules? expand_more
Enterprise DNA builds each business its own version around how it operates, including its fee rules and fields. It can be set up to track fees, variations, claims, time and people according to your process, rather than asking you to reshape the practice around a standard setup.
Can an owner run the system without ongoing support? expand_more
Yes. There is a free version an owner can run themselves. For the managed option, Enterprise DNA sets up and runs your version, brings across Synergy data and makes changes around your business. That option is charged as one setup fee followed by a monthly retainer.
