The self-hosted Whistlelink alternative
Confida – Self-Hosted Whistleblowing Portal — Self-hosted whistleblowing channel that tracks the EU Directive's 7-day and 3-month clocks. Own it once, run it on your own server, and stop paying Whistlelink every month.
Stop renting Whistlelink
2 months of Whistlelink equals this one-time price (competitor bills in EUR — approximate).
Assumption: EUR not USD. Scales to EUR 99/mo at 50-149 staff - the realistic tier for the orgs the EU Directive actually covers.
How Whistlelink pricing grows with you
Whistlelink's price scales in tiers by number of employees, from EUR 79/month up to a custom quote for 1000+ employees.

Who should stay with Whistlelink
If you need built-in Single Sign-On or multi-entity/group-company account management, stay with Whistlelink — Confida has no SSO and supports only one organisation per install. Full honest limitations are on the product page.
Why owning beats renting Whistlelink
- One payment. No monthly, per-seat, or per-location fees — the license is perpetual.
- Your data stays on your server. It never lives in Whistlelink's cloud.
- No plan ceilings. Records and users are limited by your hosting, not a pricing tier.
- It keeps working if the vendor doesn't. Self-hosted software can't be sunset or price-hiked out from under you.
Fair trade-offs: you host it, back it up, and apply updates yourself — see the product page for honest limitations, and the full Confida – Self-Hosted Whistleblowing Portal vs Whistlelink comparison.
