Whistleblower Software

Whistleblower Software is built by Formalize, operating out of Aarhus, Denmark, and stands out in this category for one simple reason: it publishes exact prices.

Two plans, Core and Advanced, both scale across employee bands from under 50 staff up to 999, with pricing rising from €99 to €349 a month on Core and €149 to €529 a month on Advanced; organisations above 1,000 employees are quoted individually. Both plans bill annually, with 30 days' notice required before renewal to cancel.

The product covers what the EU Whistleblower Directive requires: a confidential intake channel, case routing, and the acknowledgment and feedback deadlines a compliance team has to track. International case management, a phone hotline and extra languages are sold as add-ons rather than bundled in, which keeps the base price low but means a multinational rollout adds cost quickly.

For a single-entity EU company that wants a firm number before ever speaking to sales, that published pricing is close to unique in this category, where most competitors require a demo call just to see a price.

What Whistleblower Software does well

• Fully published pricing across two plans and six employee bands — rare in this category
• Meets the EU Whistleblower Directive's core intake and case-management requirements out of the box
• Straightforward annual billing with a defined 30-day cancellation window

Where Whistleblower Software falls short

• Phone hotline, international case management and extra languages are separate paid add-ons
• No independent security certification (ISO 27001, SOC 2) publicly listed on the vendor's site
• Case-management depth is lighter than enterprise-focused competitors like EQS Integrity Line

Standout feature. Published, per-employee-band pricing: a compliance officer can price out a whole rollout without ever booking a sales call.
