How to choose a Vantage alternative
- 1
What your bill follows
Ask what the recurring bill is tied to. Vantage lists Pro at US$30 a month and Business at US$200 a month, with Enterprise pricing quoted privately. Enterprise DNA's option has one setup fee, then a monthly retainer, with no per-seat plans.
- 2
Where your records stay
Check where your records and review history stay, and what happens to exports when a plan changes. With your own version, the underlying records sit in a database you own, and you set the retention policy for the agreed history, exports and review notes.
- 3
Fit with your rules
Agree how account splits, budgets, currencies, owners and closure evidence should work. Vantage offers virtual tagging and report groupings. Your version can start with explicit account splits, named owners and a recorded reason for each change.

Work involved in switching
A move is more than exporting costs. The supported route is a daily FOCUS cost export, with sample testing, an agreed reporting scope and currency reconciliation. Budgets, allocation rules and review evidence need separate mapping, so decide who will validate the period before changing your review process.
The option that fits
Make it fit your business
Enterprise DNA builds a version around the way your business allocates costs, sets budgets and follows up changes. Your Vantage cost records are brought across into a database you own, with your fields, review rules and documents agreed for the build. Enterprise DNA can run it for you for one setup fee, then a monthly retainer. If you prefer to operate it yourself, the free version lets you review imported cloud costs in plain language.

Questions
Vantage alternatives, answered
How much does Vantage cost compared with an alternative? expand_more
Vantage lists Pro at US$30 a month and Business at US$200 a month. Enterprise pricing is quoted privately. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee for the version and migration, then a monthly retainer if you want it to run the system. The free version is available to operate yourself.
Can you bring your Vantage cost history across? expand_more
The supported route is Vantage's daily FOCUS cost export. Enterprise DNA tests a sample, agrees the reporting scope and reconciles each currency. Budgets, allocation rules and review evidence need separate mapping, so plan to check those items as part of the move.
How can you check that the cost figures are right? expand_more
The version keeps billed and effective costs separate, retains credits, checks allocations against source totals, and keeps currencies separate. The agreed period is reconciled against your original report before it is used for decisions. Forecasts are estimates, and closing an investigation does not mean savings were made.
What can you do with the free version? expand_more
It is an internal review system for imported cloud costs. It covers account allocation, budgets, unit costs, follow-ups and documents. It does not access cloud accounts or make purchases. If you need recurring collection, access controls or other capabilities, those are agreed separately for a built version.
