Hailey HR Starts Charging – Which Whistleblowing Service Fits Your Organization Best?

August 21, 2025

Choosing the right whistleblowing solution is not always easy. While legal requirements are clear, the market offers several alternatives, making it difficult to determine which system best suits your organization. In this article, we compare the whistleblowing services of Visslan and Hailey HR, in light of the fact that Hailey HR’s whistleblowing function, previously offered free of charge, will now come at a cost. The goal of this comparison is to help you evaluate which whistleblowing system is the right fit for your organization.

Visslan is a Swedish company offering a simple, affordable, and quickly implemented whistleblowing system for organizations. With a complete solution that includes policy templates, a reporting channel, external case management, and personal onboarding, you can become compliant in under two hours.

HR System or a Dedicated Whistleblowing Solution?

One of the key differences between Hailey HR and Visslan is their approach. Hailey HR offers whistleblowing as part of a broader HR system, while Visslan is a specialized tool built entirely around whistleblowing. Visslan’s solution is designed from the ground up to be smooth, secure, compliant, and user-friendly at a competitive price.

Below is a comparison table highlighting the most important features of each solution:

Feature Visslan Hailey HR
Whistleblowing function Yes, fully developed and specialized solution Yes, but as part of an HR system
External case management by legal experts Included for <499 employees Customers must handle cases on their own
Whistleblowing policy Ready-to-use customizable templates included Customer is responsible for drafting a legally correct policy
System customization Yes, additional questions and custom forms available as add-ons Limited customization options
Form design Comprehensive form with options for oral reporting and file uploads Only a single field for case description
Standalone tool Yes No, part of an HR system

Cost Matters – Hailey HR’s Whistleblowing Function Is No Longer Free

Price is, of course, a crucial factor when choosing between two alternatives. As previously mentioned, Hailey HR offered its whistleblowing module as a free, standalone feature within its HR system. However, it is no longer available free of charge and will only be accessible for customers using the entire HR platform. This could lead to unnecessarily high costs for organizations seeking only a whistleblowing solution.

In contrast, Visslan offers simple and transparent pricing with fixed annual fees. No setup fees, no hidden costs, and no binding periods. For companies with 50–249 employees, the price is only 8,000 SEK per year, including the full system, policy documents, and the option for external case management. You always know exactly what you pay – and what you get.
