Why teams choose Confide over Formalize

+50%

More reports arrive ready to investigate

Echo asks the follow-up questions while the reporter is still on the form or in the voice report, before the case is even opened.

1 day

Standard setup

Most programs go live in a day with a compliance expert on the call; enterprise rollouts take three to six weeks. The published figures there are a 45-minute technical setup and one to fifteen business days to implement.

USD 0

Per user or per case

Confide includes every language, every entity and voice reporting in the band. More languages, international management and a phone line are sold as add-ons priced on request.

Who is Formalize good for

Law firms running client programs

You manage reporting for several clients and need partner accounts to keep those programs organized.

Control of encryption keys

Your security team will only approve a system if your organization can hold its own encryption keys.

European-based teams

You work in Europe and prefer a Denmark-based supplier for procurement and support.

  2. Export from Formalize

    Each case exports as a complete PDF with its messages, internal notes and activity log. We help you pull every case with its files and build the case list alongside them.

  3. Import into Confide

    Unlimited Excel and CSV imports. We load the case list, map states, deadlines and departments to Confide fields, attach each export to its case, 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, connects single sign-on, and trains your admins hands-on.

  5. Testing and feedback

    We send test reports in your languages through the web link, QR code, email and voice, follow them to closure with your team and adjust what does not fit.

  6. Embedding and growth

    We help you replace the old link and QR code on posters and the intranet, keep the speak-up culture working and plan where the program grows next.

Questions about switching

Is Confide a Whistleblower Software alternative?
Yes, for teams that want AI across intake, investigation and documents, web forms, voice reports and 30+ languages included, and a published price. Both platforms host in Frankfurt, hold ISO 27001 and work under GDPR. It suits teams that want web forms they set up themselves in under an hour; Confide sets yours up with you in about a day.
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. Formalize publishes plan bands by employee count, with additional languages and phone intake priced separately; confirm the full subscription and purchase terms for your organization.

Does Confide offer a phone hotline?
No. The phone line there is an add-on with a unique number and code, priced on request. Confide reporters record inside the product from any browser or phone, in their own language; the voice is distorted and transcribed into the case and Echo asks its questions while they are still there.

How does Confide's AI compare with Formalize's?
Formalize's whistleblowing product lists automatic translations, and the wider platform offers Smart Fill for contracts and IQ for drafting policies. Confide's Echo, Sentinel and Compose are in every band: 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. Off until you turn it on, never trained on your data.
Can we bring our Whistleblower Software case history across?
Yes. Every case exports as a PDF with its messages, notes and activity log; Confide imports unlimited Excel and CSV files and attaches the exports to each case. Our onboarding team maps states, departments and deadlines with you, you check the result before go-live, and the data is hosted in Frankfurt from day one.
