Socianote vs Whistleblower Software

Socianote is a cloud platform for organisations managing programmes, people and case-related documents. It combines case intake forms, workflow automation, audit trails and reporting dashboards with real-time caseload visibility and overdue-review alerts. Admins can approve intake requests, reassign cases and export organisational data. CSV imports cover people, volunteers, programmes, enrolments and case shells; exports are available as CSV, PDF and per-person files. The free plan is indefinite, needs no credit card and supports up to 3 staff, 50 people, 1 programme and 200 documents. Starter is $99 a month for up to 5 staff, 500 people, 5 programmes and 2,000 documents. Plans are priced by organisation size rather than user count, and annual billing provides two months free, approximately 17% off. Web access is available, with participant and volunteer apps for iOS and Android on Enterprise. Data is encrypted at rest and in transit; staff TOTP MFA is available after enrollment. Each uploaded document is limited to 5 MB.

Whistleblower Software provides a web-based reporting channel and case management for organizations handling whistleblowing reports. Reporters can submit anonymously or confidentially through a shared link or QR code, upload files, or use Report By Voice. Organizations can communicate with reporters after submission, including anonymously. Case tools include overviews, automatic delegation, access controls, deadline reminders, and statistics. Teams can customize the reporting page, questions, policies, and branding, and create separate links for branches or departments. The vendor says reports are end-to-end encrypted so that only the encryption key holder can view case data. It lists ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and an ISAE 3000 Type 2 report among its security credentials, and says data and backups are stored with AWS in Frankfurt. The system is designed to support compliance with the EU Whistleblower Protection Directive and US SOX Act Section 301, among other listed laws and codes. Core pricing for 0–49 employees is €99 a month, billed annually; a 14-day trial is available. Consultant-assisted technical setup takes approximately 45 minutes, according to the pricing page.
