How to choose

How to choose a Wildnote alternative

  1. 1

    What drives the bill

    Wildnote's published starting price is $675 per user per year, with a two-user minimum and custom rates. Compare that per-user charge with the cost structure you want. Enterprise DNA's owned version has no per-seat plan, with one setup fee followed by a monthly retainer.

  2. 2

    Keep control of your records

    Check where original answers, reviews and evidence will live, and who controls access. The owned option keeps the records in a database your business owns. Agree access rules and backups before staff start using it, especially if sensitive locations are included.

  3. 3

    Fit your fields and rules

    List the fields, evidence checks, review gates and follow-ups your ecologists use. Wildnote includes projects and forms, while an owned version can be built around your fields and review rules. Permission checks still depend on your ecologist assessing what applies.

  4. 4

    Plan the switch

    Wildnote Pivot Report Excel exports are documented, but field labels need reviewed mapping. Plan for photographs separately and scope mobile collection and GIS integrations separately. Keep your current field workflow until its replacement has been checked in use.

The option that fits

Own a version built for your business

Enterprise DNA builds an owned survey review version around how your business works, rather than a per-seat plan. It brings your Wildnote records across and shapes the fields, review steps and follow-ups to your rules, then runs it for you. Your records sit in a database you own, and you can work with the system in plain language. You can also run the free version yourself.

Questions

Wildnote alternatives, answered

How much does Wildnote cost for a small team? expand_more

Wildnote lists $675 per user per year as its starting price, with a two-user minimum and custom rates. Its published monthly equivalent is $56.25 per user, billed annually. Confirm current terms for your team. The free version has no licence fee. Enterprise DNA charges one setup fee, then a monthly retainer.

Can existing Wildnote survey records be moved across? expand_more

Wildnote Pivot Report Excel exports provide a way to bring survey records across, but field labels need reviewed mapping. The free version retains the original workbook and source answers. Photographs need a separate archive and migration check, so include them in the switch plan.

Will you still be able to collect surveys offline? expand_more

Wildnote includes an offline mobile app. The free version is for office evidence review, so do not assume it replaces your field collection workflow. Enterprise DNA can scope phone collection, maps, photo capture and offline requirements into your own version. Check the replacement in use before changing field processes.

Who owns the records and controls access? expand_more

With the owned option, your records sit in a database your business owns. Agree access rules and the backup process with Enterprise DNA before your team starts using it. Sensitive locations can be marked for internal handling, but that marker is not an access restriction.
