How to choose a Thematic alternative
- 1
What drives the bill
Check what your contract covers and what affects its scope. Thematic lists comment capacity and the number of feedback sources among its package factors. Compare that with the review work your team needs and how you want the ongoing operation handled.
- 2
Who owns your records
Consider whether your feedback, original fields and review history stay in a database your business owns. With an owned version, you can export response records, themes, review history and actions. The free version has no licence fee, though hosting and operating tools have their own costs.
- 3
Fit with your business
Check whether the analysis follows your fields, calculations and review steps. An owned version can be built around how your business works, including how proposed coding is reviewed and what evidence supports an accepted theme. That gives you a way to set up the work around your own rules.

What switching involves
Plan how to bring across your response export and check the mapping before moving the rest. The import can carry comments, dates, segments, collection channels and NPS scores when present. Reports, connections and ongoing operation are scoped for the version your business needs.

Questions
Thematic alternatives, answered
What does Thematic cost for a business in New Zealand or Australia? expand_more
Thematic lists Foundation at $25,000 per year, and its pricing page does not specify the currency, so confirm your local quote. Enterprise pricing is quoted for an agreed scope. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer.
Can I bring my feedback and existing fields across? expand_more
The response import can carry comment text, dates, segments, collection channels and NPS scores when present. Documented theme labels can come across as proposals for review, and original fields are retained. Enterprise DNA maps your column headings and checks a sample before moving the rest.
Will the free version find themes automatically? expand_more
The free version records proposed themes and calculates results from 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 feedback before you rely on the results.
Can I start with the free version instead? expand_more
Yes. The free version has no licence fee and you can run it yourself. It includes read-only summaries, an evidence brief and an action register. Hosting and the tools you use to operate it have their own costs, so consider those alongside the work of running it.
