How to choose a UniPhi alternative
- 1
What your bill is tied to
UniPhi bills monthly for licensed users who logged in during the month. Check your user schedule and contract, then compare that bill with the cost benchmarking work you actually use. Look at what each option charges for, not just the headline price.
- 2
Who owns your records
With an owned version, your benchmarking records sit in a database you own. Your historical cost plans are the starting point for comparisons, with sources and review decisions recorded alongside them. Check what data you can take with you and where it will live after a switch.
- 3
Fit with your practice
Check whether the system can reflect your sectors, locations, work types and the fields your surveyors use. A custom version can start with your classifications and add the fields your practice needs. Also consider whether its review process fits your professional requirements.

What switching involves
UniPhi documents a budget workbook export with cost codes, descriptions, quantities, units, rates and budget amounts. Enterprise DNA can map customised exports and reconcile totals for your version. Before switching, check which records you need to bring across and what other project functions your practice relies on.
The option that fits
A version built around your practice
Enterprise DNA builds Cost Benchmarking around how your practice works, rather than asking you to fit a standard setup. It brings your UniPhi cost data across and puts your records in a database you own. You can ask questions in plain language. Enterprise DNA agrees the scope with you, then charges one setup fee followed by a monthly retainer. There is also a free version you can run yourself.

Questions
UniPhi alternatives, answered
Will I need to replace all of UniPhi? expand_more
Not necessarily. The free version covers the cost benchmarking desk, including cost plans, comparisons, tender evidence and reviews. UniPhi also offers a wider project platform. Enterprise DNA scopes and builds the other functions your practice needs as part of your custom version.
Can I move my cost plan information across? expand_more
Yes. UniPhi documents a budget workbook export with cost codes, descriptions, quantities, units, rates and budget amounts. Enterprise DNA can map customised exports and reconcile totals for your version. The free version imports cost elements after you provide the project context.
How are the two options priced? expand_more
UniPhi bills monthly for licensed users who logged in during the month, and you need to request a current quote. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee followed by a monthly retainer. The free version has no software licence fee, though running it yourself requires your own hosting, tools and administration.
Does the system provide market cost data or certify estimates? expand_more
It uses your own historical cost plans, and you supply the price index values and retain their source. Checks can flag missing sources, scope, assumptions and reviews, but they do not certify an estimate or replace professional judgement. Your version can include the classifications and review process your practice requires.
