FAQ

Is Confidly an EthicsPortal alternative?
Yes, particularly for EU companies that need oral reporting, native HRIS sync, country-specific intake, or a path to enterprise features as they grow. EthicsPortal's main wedge is €49/mo flat regardless of employee count and instant self-serve signup. Confidly Starter is also €49/mo with a 14-day free trial, and adds oral-statement attachments (reporters upload audio or video into the web form, helping satisfy the HinSchG oral-reporting requirement that EthicsPortal does not handle), AI investigation tools, country-specific intake auto-configured per EU transposition, and native HRIS sync. A native phone-hotline or voicemail channel is on roadmap. Past 100 employees, you graduate to Confidly Pro at €149/mo with case clustering, playbooks and full integrations. EthicsPortal has no clear growth path past flat-€49.
How much does EthicsPortal cost?
EthicsPortal is €49/mo flat regardless of employee count, channels or features. There is no tiered pricing and no per-employee scaling. Confidly Starter is also €49/mo (up to 100 employees) with a 14-day trial; Pro is €149/mo (up to 500 employees) with AI investigation tools, native HRIS sync and country-specific intake; Enterprise is €399/mo with multi-entity console, ombudsperson seats and BYOK encryption.
Does EthicsPortal support HinSchG, Loi Sapin II and D.lgs 24/2023?
EthicsPortal is EU-hosted and EU Directive 2019/1937 compliant at the platform level. The intake form is a generic Directive-aligned template; country-specific configuration (HinSchG categories, Loi Sapin II disclosures, D.lgs 24 transposition fields) requires manual setup per channel. EthicsPortal does not ship oral/phone reporting, which is required under HinSchG Art. 16. Confidly auto-configures country-specific intake and accepts audio or video oral statements as attachments to a web submission on every plan; a native phone-hotline or voicemail channel is on roadmap.
Can I migrate from EthicsPortal to Confidly?
Yes. Confidly imports historical cases via anonymised CSV. Open cases can be ingested via a one-time API import, and reporter case codes are preserved. Old EthicsPortal URLs can 301-redirect to your new Confidly subdomain. Migration is included free on annual plans.
