The options
What people compare Tourwriter with
Tourwriter Pro starts at US$149 per user monthly, billed annually, excluding local sales tax, while Premium is priced on request. Owners look elsewhere when per user charges, itinerary limits, setup costs or plan features do not match how they run trips.

How to choose a Tourwriter alternative
- 1
What your bill is tied to
Work out whether your bill rises with each user, the plan you need, itinerary allowances or setup. Tourwriter lists itinerary limits for Starter and Pro, unlimited itineraries for Premium and a one time setup package. Compare that structure with a setup fee and monthly retainer.
- 2
Who owns your records
Ask where your trip records live and how you can take them with you. Tourwriter reports can be exported to CSV. In an owned version, your records sit in a database your business owns and can be exported.
- 3
Fit with your operating rules
Check whether the system follows your supplier evidence checks, commission treatment, preparation policy and the way your team records trips. Tourwriter offers configurable reporting, while an owned version can change the underlying fields and rules as well as the questions you ask.

What switching involves
List the records you need to move before agreeing to switch. Itinerary headers can be imported after mapping, but services, supplier rates, traveller names and payment history need separate exports and mapping. Agree what will be checked during setup.
The option that fits
A version built for your business
An owned version suits you when your quoting, preparation and paperwork need to follow your own rules, not just a standard plan. Enterprise DNA builds your version around how your business works, brings your Tourwriter records across and runs it for you. Your records sit in a database you own, and you can work with it in plain language. The arrangement is one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. A free version is also available if you want to run it yourself.

Questions
Tourwriter alternatives, answered
Can you bring your Tourwriter records across? expand_more
Tourwriter reports can be exported as CSV. Itinerary headers can be imported after their columns are mapped. Services, supplier rates, traveller names and payment history need separate exports and mapping. Enterprise DNA scopes and checks that migration as part of your setup.
How does Enterprise DNA charge for your version? expand_more
Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer for the agreed work. The setup scope covers migration, customisation and operation planning with you. The free version can be run yourself, with your own hosting and support costs.
Can the alternative follow your quote rules? expand_more
Your version can be built around your operating rules and fields, including the checks and questions your team needs. It can produce draft quotations, travel itineraries and supplier paperwork in your business identity. Agree and test tax and commission treatment during setup.
Will you still need separate supplier or payment tools? expand_more
The free version records confirmations and reconciled amounts and creates unsent drafts. Supplier messaging, accounting or payment connections are scoped and tested before inclusion in a managed version. Check which connections your operation relies on before deciding whether the alternative covers them.
