When should you pick OneTrust over Confidly?
If you are a Fortune-500 multinational standardising on one vendor across privacy, vendor risk, ESG, ethics, and whistleblowing, OneTrust's horizontal coverage is hard to match. Procurement teams in US-headed multinationals also tend to know OneTrust well, which lowers the marginal vendor-onboarding cost.
When should you pick Confidly over OneTrust?
- 50-500 employees in the EU, need EU Directive 2019/1937 compliance
- Budget €49-€399/mo, not $25,000+/yr
- You don't want a Schrems II transfer impact assessment for the channel
- You want country-specific intake auto-configured for HinSchG, Loi Sapin II, D.lgs 24, Ley 2, Wbk
- You want AI-assisted investigation (AI summary, classify, translate, draft, case clustering)
- You want to be live in 15 minutes, not 6-8 weeks
- You already use a modern HR stack (Personio, BambooHR) and want native sync

FAQ
- Is Confidly a OneTrust alternative?
- Yes, for EU companies between 50 and 2,000 employees that need a Directive 2019/1937 whistleblowing channel without the rest of the OneTrust suite. OneTrust is built for Fortune-500 multinationals running their entire privacy + GRC + ethics + ESG programme on one platform. Confidly is built for EU SMBs and mid-market who specifically need an EU-hosted, GDPR-compliant whistleblowing channel: €49–€399/mo, self-serve, AI-native (AI summarises, classifies, translates, drafts and clusters), and country-specific intake auto-configured for HinSchG, Loi Sapin II, D.lgs 24, Ley 2 and Wbk.
- How much does OneTrust cost?
- OneTrust does not publish pricing. Public comparison roundups and procurement reports (Gartner, G2, May 2026) suggest entry deal sizes around $25,000+/yr for the whistleblowing module bundled with the baseline privacy modules. Larger deployments typically run $75,000–$250,000/yr depending on module breadth and employee count. Confidly is €49–€399/mo with transparent tier pricing on the pricing page.
- Is OneTrust GDPR compliant?
- Yes. OneTrust offers GDPR-compliant configurations and Frankfurt-hosted infrastructure on request. However, OneTrust is US-incorporated, so any data flow to the US (for support, AI inference, etc.) requires Standard Contractual Clauses and a Transfer Impact Assessment under Schrems II. Confidly is Estonian-incorporated and EU-hosted by default; no Schrems II analysis or SCCs are required for the core processing.
- Can I migrate from OneTrust to Confidly?
- Yes. Confidly imports historical cases via anonymised CSV. Open cases can be ingested via a one-time API import; the previous reporter case codes are preserved so reporters in-flight continue with the same code. Old OneTrust whistleblowing URLs can 301-redirect to your new Confidly subdomain. Migration is included free on annual plans.
- Does Confidly do everything OneTrust does?
- No. Confidly is a single-purpose whistleblowing channel. OneTrust is a horizontal GRC platform covering privacy, vendor risk, ESG, third-party risk, audit and dozens of other modules. If you need cookie consent management, DSR automation, or vendor-risk scoring, OneTrust covers all those; Confidly doesn't. If you only need a Directive 2019/1937 channel, Confidly is the right depth at the right price.
