EU Alts

Browse EU software by category

72 categories of European alternatives to popular US tools.

Every company listed here is founded or headquartered in Europe. Headquarters alone does not decide US CLOUD Act exposure, so ownership and hosting are checked per listing. Select a category to see the EU-built tools in that space and compare them with the US incumbents they replace.

Frequently asked questions

What categories of EU software are available?

EU Alts lists European alternatives across more than 20 product categories including cloud infrastructure, analytics, developer tools, authentication, email marketing, CRM, video conferencing, form builders, knowledge management, project management, fintech, and more. Every tool in these categories is founded and headquartered in the EU.

How do I find a GDPR-compliant replacement for a US software tool?

Browse by the category that matches your US tool — for example, Analytics to replace Google Analytics, or Messaging to replace Slack. You can also use the EU Alternatives directory, which maps EU-built replacements directly to specific US products. Listings on EU Alts are headquartered in Europe and operate under GDPR; whether one is outside US CLOUD Act jurisdiction depends on ownership and hosting, which EU Alts checks per listing.

Are EU software tools as capable as US alternatives?

Yes — EU-built tools across analytics, cloud hosting, developer tools, and CRM are mature, production-ready products used by thousands of European teams. Choosing a European alternative typically means faster DPA agreements, no Schrems II transfer impact assessments, and simpler compliance for EU-regulated sectors. Browse by country to explore the strongest EU startup ecosystems.

Which EU software category has the most options?

Cloud infrastructure, developer tools, and analytics tend to have the most EU-built options. Countries like Germany, France, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Estonia have strong startup ecosystems across all these categories. The directory is updated continuously as new European companies are submitted.
