Frequently asked questions

What are European alternatives to US tech products?

EU alternatives are software products founded and headquartered in EU member states. They operate under EU law (GDPR, NIS2) rather than US jurisdiction, so your data is never subject to the US CLOUD Act. Examples: Hetzner instead of AWS, Plausible Analytics instead of Google Analytics.

Why use EU-built software instead of US products?

US companies — even when hosting data in Europe — can be compelled to hand data to US authorities under the CLOUD Act and FISA 702. EU-owned providers are only subject to EU law, giving you stronger GDPR compliance, simpler data processing agreements, and no cross-border transfer risk.

Which US products have the most EU alternatives?

The most covered categories are cloud infrastructure, analytics, email, code hosting, and knowledge management. EU Alts tracks alternatives for over 25 popular US products.
