Three reasons teams pick Confide over EQS

AI across the case, ready on day one

Echo completes the report while the reporter is still there. Sentinel answers questions across every case, with citations, and carries out tasks. Compose drafts and signs the documents. All three are in the platform fee.

One fee for the whole platform

From USD 2,000 a year with unlimited users and cases. EQS sells email intake and extra web intakes as add-ons, with SSO in its Enterprise tier.

Why teams choose Confide over EQS

+50%

More reports arrive ready to investigate

Echo asks the follow-up questions while the reporter is still on the page or in the voice report, not days later through an inbox.

1 day

Standard setup

Most programs go live in a day; enterprise rollouts take three to six weeks. The published figure there is a few business days for standard implementations and eight to twelve weeks for multinational programs.

USD 0

Add-ons for email intake or AI

Confide charges one annual fee by headcount. Phone reporting, email intake, extra web intakes and multilingual support are listed as add-ons.

Who is EQS good for

European compliance teams

Your procurement process prioritizes a supplier experienced with European reporting requirements.

Enterprise identity requirements

Your organization requires SSO and SCIM and can budget for the Enterprise package.

Budget for telephone reporting

You need phone reporting alongside web intake and can budget for separately priced services.

Thinking about switching from EQS Integrity Line?

Switching is a white-glove job. A Confide compliance expert works through how your program runs in Integrity Line today, brings your cases across and configures Confide around the way your team works.

Book a demo
  1. Kick-off with a compliance expert

    We go through your categories, routing, deadlines and the countries you report for, then agree what stays manual and what Echo, Sentinel and SOPs take on.

  2. Export from Integrity Line

    Integrity Line lets you download cases in Excel, and its Professional tier adds multi-case export. We help you pull the full history, attachments included, before anything is switched off.

  3. Import into Confide

    We load the Excel files, map categories, statuses and involved parties to Confide fields, and you check the result. One to two days.

  4. Custom setup and admin training

    Your dedicated Customer Success Manager builds accounts, reporting links, QR codes, languages and workflows to the plan and trains your admins hands-on.

  5. Testing and feedback

    We submit test reports through web forms, voice reports, email intake and the API, follow them through to closure with your team and adjust until it fits.

  6. Embedding and growth

    We help you announce Confide to your people, keep the speak-up culture working and find where the program can grow.

Questions about switching

Is Confide an EQS Integrity Line alternative?
Yes, for teams that want web forms, voice reports, email intake and the API, 30+ languages and AI across casework in one published price rather than a tiered package. Confide hosts in Frankfurt, holds ISO 27001 and SOC 2 and works under GDPR, and AI stays off until you switch it on. If you want a wider suite from the same vendor, EQS sells policy, third-party and approvals products alongside Integrity Line.
How does pricing compare?
Confide publishes annual bands by employee headcount, from USD 2,000 a year, with unlimited users and cases; the calculator on this page shows your band. EQS asks buyers to select a package and contact its team; email intake and extra web intakes are add-ons.

Does Confide offer a phone hotline?
No. EQS offers 24/7 phone reporting, automated or call center, as an add-on. Confide reporters record their voice inside the product from any browser or phone, in their own language; the voice is distorted and transcribed into the case and nobody retells it.

How does Confide's AI compare with Q by EQS?
Q triages, classifies and summarizes inside EQS products, and its assistant answers questions about a case; classification, summaries and transcription sit in its Enterprise tier. Confide's Echo, Sentinel and Compose are in every plan: Echo completes the report at intake, Sentinel answers across every case with citations and carries out tasks, Compose drafts and signs documents from the record, and SOPs run your process end to end. None of it trains on your data.
Can we bring our Integrity Line case history across?
Yes. Integrity Line exports cases in Excel; Confide imports unlimited Excel and CSV files. Our onboarding team maps categories, statuses and involved parties with you, you check the result before go-live, and the data is hosted in Frankfurt from day one.
