When should you pick NAVEX over Confidly?
If you have 5,000+ employees, regulated business units (e.g. global pharma with FDA + EMA + MHRA obligations), or you already use NAVEX for adjacent GRC (third-party risk, policy management, ethics training), stay with NAVEX. They have been doing this since 1999 and the integrations into SAP, ServiceNow and Power BI are mature.
When should you pick Confidly over NAVEX?
- You have 50–500 employees and need to comply with EU Directive 2019/1937
- You do not have €18,000–€60,000/yr to spend on whistleblowing software alone
- You want AI-assisted triage and case clustering out of the box
- You want to be live this week, not next quarter
- You want EU-only data residency without negotiating SCCs
- You want country-specific intake auto-configured for HinSchG, Loi Sapin II, D.lgs 24

FAQ
- Is Confidly a NAVEX EthicsPoint alternative?
- Yes, for EU companies between 50 and 2,000 employees. NAVEX is built for Fortune-500 deployments with €15k+ annual contracts and 4–8 week implementations. Confidly is built for EU SMBs and mid-market: €49–€399/mo, self-serve, 14-day trial, EU-hosted by default, and AI-native (AI summarises, classifies, translates, drafts replies and clusters multi-reporter patterns). If your headcount is north of 5,000 and you're already on NAVEX for adjacent GRC modules, NAVEX still makes sense. Otherwise Confidly will be cheaper, faster and more EU-compliant.
- How much does NAVEX EthicsPoint cost?
- NAVEX does not publish pricing. Public comparison roundups (Elker, EthicsPortal, May 2026) report entry pricing around €133/mo, with real deal sizes typically €5,000–€60,000/yr depending on employee count, hotline staffing and adjacent GRC modules. Procurement cycles are 4–8 weeks. Confidly starts at €49/mo with transparent tier pricing on the pricing page.
- Does NAVEX cover the EU Whistleblowing Directive (2019/1937)?
- Yes, with caveats. NAVEX EthicsPoint can be configured for EU Directive compliance, but the platform is US-built and EU localisation is bolted on. The intake form is generic; you must manually configure categories for each national transposition (HinSchG in Germany, Loi Sapin II in France, D.lgs 24/2023 in Italy). Confidly ships country-specific intake templates auto-configured for each transposition, and the mandatory 7-day acknowledgement + 3-month status updates required by Art. 9 are automated by default.
- Can I migrate from NAVEX to Confidly?
- Yes, typically in under 2 days. Confidly imports historical cases via anonymised CSV. Open cases can be ingested through a one-time API import, and the previous reporter case codes are preserved so reporters in-flight continue with the same code. Old NAVEX URLs can redirect to your new Confidly subdomain. Migration is included free on annual plans.
