How FaceUp pricing grows

FaceUp does not publish fixed prices for any tier; you request a quote, and larger organizations get a custom Enterprise package.

“Do you offer custom pricing for large organizations? Yes. If you have specific needs, we’ll tailor a custom Enterprise package just for you.”, their own page, read 2026-08-11

What FaceUp does that we don't

FaceUp ships dedicated iOS and Android mobile apps.

“Provide seamless, on-the-go access with dedicated mobile apps.”, their own page

Who should stay with FaceUp

If you need several entities and countries under one account, or native phone apps, stay with FaceUp — Confida runs one organization per install as an installable web app.

What Confida deliberately doesn't do is on its product page.

Why owning beats renting FaceUp.

One payment

No monthly, per-seat or per-location fees. The license is perpetual.

Your data stays on your server

It never lives in FaceUp's cloud.

No plan ceilings

Records and users are limited by your hosting, not by a pricing tier.

It keeps working if the vendor doesn't

Self-hosted software can't be sunset or repriced out from under you.

The fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up and apply updates yourself. See the product page for its limits, and the full Confida vs renting comparison.

Questions about moving off FaceUp.

What exactly is stored about a reporter?

A category, subject line, the details they typed, case status/dates, the message thread, and a hash of their chosen passphrase — no identity fields exist, and the passphrase hash is never exported.

Is it really anonymous?

At the application level, yes — no name, email, phone, or IP is collected or stored, and follow-up is by case code + passphrase only, kept as a one-way hash that's never shown or exported.

A reporter lost their case code or passphrase — can we recover it?

No — there's no account and no email, so there's no reset; that's the trade-off for storing no identity fields, and it's stated clearly on the "save these" screen.

Can the handler and reporter actually communicate?

Yes, via a two-way message thread on each case — the handler posts, the reporter reads and replies with their code and passphrase, still anonymous.
