    Why Australian mid-market teams are moving on from Diligent

    01

    The price shock is real

    Diligent's enterprise contracts typically run $25,000 to $100,000+ per year — before implementation, training, and ongoing consulting fees. For an Australian business managing 10, 20, or even 50 entities, that pricing model simply doesn't make sense. EntityFlo starts at $199/month. That's not a stripped-down lite version — it's a full-featured governance and compliance platform with live ASIC integration, AI-powered compliance monitoring, and direct lodgement capability.

    02

    Complexity designed for a different problem

    Diligent was built for the complexity of publicly listed multinational corporations — board portals, complex approval hierarchies, multi-jurisdiction reporting layers. If your team is a CFO, a General Counsel, and a Company Secretary managing a family office or corporate group, you don't need six months of implementation. EntityFlo is configured in hours, not quarters. Your entities are live, your deadlines are tracked, and your compliance gaps are visible from day one.

    03

    ASIC gaps that cost you time and risk

    Diligent is not a registered ASIC Direct Service Provider (DSP). That means your ASIC lodgements — annual reviews, director changes, registered address updates — require a separate workflow, a separate tool, or a manual process entirely. EntityFlo is a registered ASIC DSP. Lodgements happen directly inside the platform, with live ASIC data reconciliation, no re-keying, and a full audit trail.

    What EntityFlo does differently

    ASIC Direct Service Provider (DSP)

    EntityFlo is a registered ASIC DSP — one of a small number of platforms licensed to lodge directly with ASIC on behalf of clients. Annual reviews, director changes, registered office updates, share structure changes, and company deregistrations are all handled inside EntityFlo with a live, reconciled connection to the ASIC register.

    Rebecca AI — Your Compliance Co-Pilot

    Rebecca is EntityFlo's built-in AI assistant, trained on Australian corporate governance requirements and integrated directly with your entity data. She monitors your compliance posture across every entity, flags upcoming ASIC deadlines, detects gaps in your governance records, and surfaces risks you might not know to look for.

    Entity 360 — One Source of Truth

    Entity 360 gives every entity in your structure a single, live profile — directors, shareholders, registered addresses, documents, upcoming obligations, and a full history of changes — all in one auditable place. When ASIC's register changes, Entity 360 reflects it. When your team makes a change, Entity 360 records it.

    Compliance Health Scoring

    EntityFlo's Compliance Health Score gives each entity — and your entire portfolio — a real-time governance risk rating. Green means you're on top of it, amber means attention needed, red means act now. Built-in alerts push upcoming deadlines to the right people before they become problems.

    Pricing that fits your business

    At $199/month, EntityFlo's Foundation plan costs less in a year than most Diligent implementations cost in the first month.

    Diligent

    • • Multi-year enterprise contracts ($25,000–$100,000+/year)
    • • Separate fees for implementation, support, and add-on modules
    • • Negotiated pricing — not publicly listed
    • • 6–12 month implementation timelines typical

    EntityFlo

    • Foundation: $199/mo — up to 25 entities
    • Control: $389/mo — up to 50 entities (Most Popular)
    • Corporate: $599/mo — up to 100 entities
    • Enterprise: Custom — 100+ entities
    • No implementation fees. No surprise add-ons. All plans include ASIC DSP lodgements, Rebecca AI, Entity 360, and Compliance Health Scoring.
