Where does Confidly beat FaceUp?

Transparent pricing

Three tiers on a public page. FaceUp hides every tier behind 'Get a Quote', including Starter.

Native HRIS, not Make.com

Personio and BambooHR connectors built natively, not stitched through a third-party automation platform you pay extra for.

AI investigator copilot

AI summarises, classifies severity, drafts replies, and clusters multi-reporter patterns. FaceUp's AI Hotline is still marked 'coming soon'.

Country-specific intake

Auto-configured for HinSchG, Loi Sapin II, D.lgs 24 and the other EU transpositions. FaceUp ships a generic global form.

Oral-statement attachments live

Reporters upload audio or video oral statements directly into the web form, with EXIF/metadata stripping. A staffed phone hotline or AI-transcribed voicemail channel is on roadmap (live, not 'coming soon' like FaceUp's AI Hotline).

Built for EU compliance

Confidly was built in 2025 for EU SMBs subject to the Directive. FaceUp was built for schools first and the corporate UX still shows it.

Where is FaceUp still better?

113 languages

FaceUp's pre-translated form library is the largest in the market. If you have reporters in 50+ languages with no AI fallback acceptable, FaceUp wins.

Native mobile app

iOS and Android apps for reporters. Confidly's intake is mobile-optimised web; a native app is on the roadmap.

8,000+ Make.com integrations

If you use Notion, ClickUp, Airtable or other long-tail tools, FaceUp's Make.com bridge connects to almost anything (though you pay Make.com separately).

When should you pick FaceUp over Confidly?

If you have reporters in 50+ languages where AI translation is not acceptable as a fallback, or you need a native mobile app on day one, FaceUp wins. They also have a deep K-12 / higher education footprint that Confidly does not target.

When should you pick Confidly over FaceUp?

FAQ

Is Confidly a FaceUp alternative?
Yes, particularly for EU companies that want transparent pricing, native HRIS sync (Personio, BambooHR), and country-specific intake auto-configured for HinSchG, Loi Sapin II and D.lgs 24/2023. FaceUp's strengths are 113 pre-translated languages and a native mobile app. If those are hard requirements, FaceUp wins. Otherwise Confidly is faster to evaluate (transparent tier pricing, 14-day self-serve trial) and ships AI investigation features (case clustering) that FaceUp has on its roadmap.
How much does FaceUp cost?
FaceUp does not publish pricing on any tier. The product page shows three tiers (Starter, Professional, Enterprise) with administrator limits (5 / 10 / unlimited) but every tier requires a sales conversation. Comparison roundups (Elker, May 2026) report an effective entry price around $49/mo when invoiced annually, but you cannot confirm this without contacting sales. Confidly is €49–€399/mo with public tier pricing.
Does FaceUp support EU Directive 2019/1937?
Yes, FaceUp is GDPR-compliant and supports EU Directive 2019/1937. The platform offers 113 languages, anonymous two-way chat, and audit trails. However, FaceUp ships a generic global intake form. Country-specific configuration for HinSchG (Germany), Loi Sapin II (France), D.lgs 24/2023 (Italy) requires manual setup per channel. Confidly auto-configures intake categories per country transposition.
Can I migrate from FaceUp to Confidly?
Yes. Confidly imports historical cases via anonymised CSV export from FaceUp. Open cases can be ingested via API and reporter case codes are preserved. Old FaceUp public URLs can 301-redirect to your new Confidly subdomain so reporters in-flight continue to land correctly. Migration is included free on annual plans.
