Compare/Head to head

NAVEX vs Spot

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

NAVEX

Sales-quoted

NAVEX One packages ethics hotline, policy management, training, and third-party risk. Pricing is tailored to headcount, regions, and which solutions you bundle.

Where NAVEX fits

  • Enterprises that need a speak-up hotline plus policy acknowledgement in one GRC vendor
  • Compliance teams already comparing EthicsPoint-class incident management
  • Global companies that want training, conflicts of interest, and third-party risk on the same platform
  • Buyers who will trade a custom quote for a bundled NAVEX One package

Spot

Sales-quoted

Talk to Spot is AI-powered workplace investigation and speak-up intake for HR, compliance, security, and legal. Employer plans are sales-quoted.

Where Spot fits

  • HR and compliance teams replacing webforms with AI interviews
  • Frontline employers that need mobile, around-the-clock reporting
  • Legal and security partners who want one intake layer across case types
  • Companies migrating off a legacy hotline form and wanting a white-glove cutover

Where they pull apart

NAVEX

Stands out: NAVEX still leads with EthicsPoint-style whistleblower intake and says it supports 77 percent of the Fortune 100 and 500, with a stated option to save up to 30 percent when solutions are bundled.

Watch out: navex.com/en-us/request-pricing/ is a form, not a grid. Organization size, reporting volume, and module mix (hotline, policy, training, COI, TPRM) all change the quote.

Not the right fit for

  • Small employers that only need a laminated labor-law poster
  • HR teams that want a lightweight Slack kudos tool rather than a GRC suite

Spot

Stands out: Omnichannel AI intake captures the interview, applies investigation methods, and produces an audit-ready report on a mobile-first flow that runs 24/7 for frontline teams.

Watch out: The consumer FAQ still says individuals can record an incident for free. Employer case management, workflows, and analytics are a Contact Us / demo product, not that free reporter chat.

Not the right fit for

  • Enterprises that already standardized on NAVEX EthicsPoint and do not want a second intake brand
  • ER teams that need HR Acuity-depth case files more than a reporter chatbot

  • Mobile-first 24/7 intake aimed at frontline reporters
  • Cross-functional workflows for HR, compliance, legal, and security
  • Employer platform is sales-quoted with no public PEPM
  • Free reporter FAQ can confuse buyers looking for a company plan
  • Capterra has only seven reviews on the matched product

What each one costs

NAVEX

Sales-quoted

NAVEX One pricing is tailored to organization size, operating regions, reporting volume, and the solutions in your package (hotline and incident management, policy, training, conflicts of interest, third-party risk). The vendor pricing page is a request form, not a plan grid. Bundled NAVEX solutions are advertised at up to 30 percent off. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.

Spot

Sales-quoted

Talk to Spot does not publish employer per-employee prices. Team plans are scoped on a demo (intake, workflows, analytics). Individuals can still record a private incident in the reporter experience. That reporter path is not an employer free-forever plan. There is no numbered company trial on the public site. Confirm current terms on the vendor site.
