Dromo alternative

The healthcare-aware Dromo alternative.

Dromo is privacy-first CSV importer — browser-side validation marketing, per-seat pricing. We are not pretending otherwise. AdaptivMapr’s wedge is narrower and sharper: a data-minimized schema-only mode, FHIR-aware healthcare templates with multilingual hints, and BAA coverage inherited from the gateway rather than negotiated per vendor.

If your import path touches PHI, FHIR or multilingual clinical data, the trade is worth running. If it does not, stay on Dromo — we will say so on this page rather than in a sales call.

Honest first

Where each one actually wins.

Two lists, written the same way. If Dromo is the better answer for your import path, the fastest thing we can do for you is say so here.

Where Dromo wins

Strong privacy positioning — browser-side validation marketing
Per-seat pricing is predictable for fixed team sizes
Generic CSV import UX for B2B SaaS use cases

Where AdaptivMapr wins

Schema-only mode is the documented default — only headers + ≤3 sample rows leave the caller
inherited BAA coverage, not negotiated per vendor
FHIR-aware healthcare templates with multilingual hints ship out of the box

Side by side

Dromo vs AdaptivMapr.

Only the rows where the answer is clear. Where a comparison would be ambiguous we left it out rather than guess, and the last row is the one that matters most.

Capability	Dromo	AdaptivMapr
Pricing floor	Per-seat tiers	Prepaid token wallet from $10 (no free tier, no subscription). A small flat fee per map (~$0.001); AI cleanup bills AI tokens at provider cost × 2 (× 0.5 with your own key).
MCP server (Cursor, Claude Desktop)	Not shipped	@adaptivmapr/mcp-server — schema-only tools need no key, no signup
Schema-only mode (minimal data exposure)	Not a documented mode	Default. Only headers + ≤3 sample rows ever leave the caller
Healthcare templates with BAA path	DIY — generic schema builder	10 templates (Patient, Observation, Medication, Claim.item, Coverage, Practitioner, Appointment, …) with inherited BAA coverage
FHIR resource emit	Not built-in	Templates emit FHIR resources where applicable
Learns from per-tenant corrections	Per-workspace synonyms, manually curated	Cascade auto-accept at {minN:100, minRatio:0.95} and {minN:20, minRatio:1.00} from prod corrections
Multilingual healthcare hints	EN-first, custom synonyms per tenant	DE / FR / IT / EN / ES on every healthcare field, shipped
Regulated-data validators	Generic regex / range	IBAN, BIC, GTIN, LOINC, ICD-10, ATC, CPT, NPI, GLN as first-class validators
Replaces Dromo for generic B2B CSV import	Yes — that is the core use case	Not the wedge. Use Dromo for non-regulated flows.

The Dromo column describes publicly documented behaviour as we understand it at the time of writing, not a benchmark we ran. If we have something wrong, tell us at hello@adaptivmapr.com and we will correct this page.

What a map actually costs What leaves you in schema-only

The switch

Why teams move — and when they shouldn’t.

Why dev teams switch from Dromo

Dromo competes on privacy framing, which makes it the natural alternative for teams that care about data handling. AdaptivMapr takes that further in two specific ways: the schema-only mode is contractually the default — there is a code-path-level enforcement (clampForSchemaOnly) that prevents anything but headers + ≤3 sample rows leaving the caller — and the full-data mode that does process row content runs under an inherited BAA rather than a fresh vendor agreement. If your privacy posture is driven by clinical data, that combination matters more than browser-side framing.

When Dromo is actually the right call

Dromo is a clean, focused product. If your privacy story is about not sending generic B2B data to a third-party processor and you do not need healthcare templates or FHIR emit, Dromo is a perfectly defensible choice. AdaptivMapr is heavier on the healthcare side and lighter on generic-import polish.

Migration

A day for one schema, a week for a portfolio.

Dromo and AdaptivMapr have similar mental models — template-driven, validation-heavy. The migration looks like: list your Dromo schemas, map each to an AdaptivMapr template (or a new custom one), and switch the embed. The default schema-only mode means you can hand the new embed to your security team without a fresh DPA conversation. Run the cascade in dry-run on a week of historical files; the per-row mapping diff is usually small for healthcare-shaped templates and zero for purely structural fields.

30-second equivalence

before · dromo

// Before — Dromo uploader
new DromoUploader({
  licenseKey: 'dromo_live_…',
  fields: [ /* … */ ],
  onResults: (rows) => /* … */,
})

after · adaptivmapr

// After — AdaptivMapr (schema-only default, inherited BAA coverage)
import { AdaptivMaprImport } from '@adaptivmapr/react'

<AdaptivMaprImport
  templateId="patient_demographics"
  mode="schema-only"
  onCommit={(rows) => /* … */}
/>

→ same import flow, same template id, headers-only by default

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Schema-only mode is enforced at the HTTP edge — only headers and ≤3 sample rows of ≤80 chars each ever leave the caller. Full-data mode that does process rows is gated on an active AdaptivMapr (PHI) entitlement and routes through our BAA-covered infrastructure.

No. AdaptivMapr is pay-as-you-go on a prepaid token wallet (from $10, shared across our suite): a small flat fee per map, plus the AI tokens any AI cleanup uses (provider cost × 2, or × 0.5 with your own key). No per-seat tiers.

It runs through our jurisdiction-aware infrastructure (Swiss-resident inference for CH/EU, BAA-covered providers for US). The inherited BAA covers it.

Yes. Most customers run 90%+ of imports in schema-only and reach for full-data only when a specific file needs row-level cleanup.

AdaptivMapr templates emit FHIR resources where applicable — Patient, Observation, Medication, Claim.item, Coverage, Practitioner, Appointment.
