Instead of Thematic
Stop renting Thematic. Own your feedback analysis.
We build your version around the feedback you collect and the decisions you make. We bring your Thematic response exports across, connect the agreed sources and run the system for you.
Thematic lists Foundation at $25,000 per year. Its pricing page does not specify the dollar currency; confirm your local quote.

What the subscription buys
A yearly platform bill around your customer evidence
Thematic charges for analysing feedback at scale. Foundation lists $25,000 per year; the enterprise package is quoted. Your own version starts with the comments and the review work your team actually needs.
The annual plan
Foundation has a published yearly price. Enterprise is tailored to the agreed scope.
Comment capacity
Foundation includes up to 25,000 comments. Comment volume is one of the factors in the contract.
Separate feedback sources
Foundation includes up to three datasets. Source coverage forms part of the package.
Theme and sentiment analysis
Thematic supplies automated analysis. Our free base holds proposed coding and the evidence an analyst accepts.
Reports and questions
Thematic includes dashboards and natural-language analysis. Owning your version lets you change the calculations and review steps around your business.
Support and operating scope
The package includes vendor support. Enterprise DNA scopes migration, connections and ongoing operation for the system you own.
What you own
The evidence, the review decisions and the follow-through
Evidence
Know what each theme rests on
Keep the original comment beside the reviewer and the words used to support a label.
- check Response dates, segments and collection channels stay attached
- check Proposed coding waits for review before entering headline counts
- check The quoted words must occur in the source response
- check See the reviewer and reason behind an accepted theme
Analysis
Compare groups with the right denominator
Ask which problems dominate each customer group and how much scored evidence sits behind them.
- check Theme shares use all responses in the relevant dataset
- check Segment comparisons include each group’s response count
- check NPS calculations leave missing scores out
- check Recent and prior periods show both mentions and response totals
Action
Put a name against the recurring problem
Connect each improvement to its theme and feedback source, then track the commitment through to evidence.
- check Assign an owner and due date to an improvement
- check See overdue work alongside quiet feedback sources
- check Require completion evidence before closing an action
- check Prepare an internal brief without copying customer comments
Ownership
Run the review on your own terms
Your database holds the feedback, the original imported fields and the history of review decisions.
- check Bring in a response export with a test run before saving
- check Keep exact repeat imports from creating duplicate records

Ten questions your feedback review can answer
These analyses work on the included demo. Thematic also offers natural-language analysis; your version gives you control of the records and review rules.
Switching
How to switch from Thematic
A move like this involves exporting your feedback, mapping your fields, checking the import, and running both systems side by side before you switch.
- 1
Export your feedback
Use Thematic’s CSV export to get the response records your account allows. Include comment text, dates, segments, collection channels and NPS scores where present. Include documented theme labels if they are available in your export. Check Thematic’s export guidance or ask its support team if you are unsure which fields your account can provide.
- 2
Prepare and test the import
Create a dataset for the feedback, then match your export’s column headings to the fields the new system expects. Run the import’s test option before saving records. The import can carry comments, dates, segments, channels and NPS scores, while keeping original fields. A small sample helps you confirm that the mapping makes sense before bringing in the rest.
- 3
Review the test results
Check what the test run flags before importing the full export. Look for headings that need mapping and sample records that need reconciliation. Imported theme labels are proposals for review, not accepted findings. The base does not reproduce Thematic’s trained analysis model, so review the source comments and accept theme assignments based on the evidence.
- 4
Run both systems side by side
Keep Thematic available while you check the new system against your normal feedback review. Confirm that the records and fields you need came across, and decide how your team will handle theme review and follow-up actions. Reports, connections, team screens, permissions and integrations may need separate work, so agree what you need before relying on the new setup.
- 5
Switch off Thematic
When you have checked the imported records and agreed how your team will use the new setup, make it the place you use for feedback analysis. Then follow Thematic’s process for ending or changing your account. Keep the exported records according to your business’s retention needs, and make sure any required reports or connections have been addressed before you stop using them.
Where the real effort goes
The main work is usually mapping your own export fields, deciding which history to bring across, and reviewing the imported records and proposed themes. Thematic’s trained analysis model does not transfer as an equivalent feature, and dashboards, permissions and integrations need separate work. If Enterprise DNA installs and runs the system for you, it handles the field mapping and migration work with you.

Questions
Instead of Thematic, answered
Does the free version automatically discover themes like Thematic? expand_more
The free base records proposed themes and calculates results from the evidence an analyst accepts. It does not reproduce Thematic’s trained analysis model. Enterprise DNA can build classification and source connections into your version, with quality checks on your own feedback before you rely on the results.
What comes across from my Thematic export? expand_more
The response import carries comment text, dates, segments, collection channels and NPS scores when present. It can also bring across the documented theme labels as proposals for review. Original fields are retained. We map your column headings and reconcile a sample before moving the rest.
Can I keep our dashboards and existing connections? expand_more
We scope the reports, connections and team screens your business needs as part of building your version. The free version includes read-only summaries, an evidence brief and an action register. Your response export supplies the records; the wider operating setup is agreed during migration.
How are private comments and retention handled? expand_more
New comments need a recorded privacy review. The free checks flag overdue retention reviews and preserve recorded legal holds. They do not certify compliance or remove personal information. We configure access and backup handling for the installed version, and agree what can be shared with each audience.
What will Enterprise DNA charge, and what happens to the records? expand_more
There is one setup fee, then a retainer for the agreed operation and changes. The database belongs to your business. You can export the response records, themes, review history and actions. The free software has no licence fee; hosting and the tools you use to operate it have their own costs.

Book 30 minutes with Sam. Bring your Thematic bill and one feedback export. We will work through the records, the reports you use and what it takes to build and run your version.
