Planhat
✓ Verified by EU AltsCustomer success platform for SaaS companies — a Swedish alternative to Gainsight.
Overview
Planhat is a Stockholm, Sweden-based European company building crm and saas software since 2016. Despite its EU base, EU Alts has verified that Planhat is independently owned, with its ultimate ownership based in Sweden, and hosts customer data with Google Cloud Platform in EU region (Belgium/Netherlands reported), so it may still fall under the reach of the US CLOUD Act — worth weighing against Salesforce and HubSpot on this specific point.
Why European teams pick Planhat
Teams in Europe still consider Planhat for its crm product and Sweden presence, operating since 2016, but unlike a fully EU-owned provider, Planhat is independently owned, with its ultimate ownership based in Sweden, and hosts customer data with Google Cloud Platform in EU region (Belgium/Netherlands reported) — so it does not fully avoid US CLOUD Act exposure the way some other alternatives to Salesforce and HubSpot do.

Frequently asked questions
What does Planhat do?
Planhat is customer success platform for saas companies — a swedish alternative to gainsight. It is listed under crm and saas on EU Alts because its core functionality serves teams looking for a European crm tool with EU data residency, typically as a switch away from Salesforce and HubSpot.
Is Planhat GDPR compliant?
Planhat is headquartered in Stockholm, Sweden and processes user data under the GDPR by default. Customer data processing is supervised by Sweden's data protection authority, the Integritetsskyddsmyndigheten (IMY). However, EU Alts has verified that Planhat is independently owned, with its ultimate ownership based in Sweden, and hosts customer data with Google Cloud Platform in EU region (Belgium/Netherlands reported), which means — unlike a fully EU-owned provider — it may still be reachable under the US CLOUD Act, similar to Salesforce and HubSpot in that respect.
How do teams switch from Salesforce to Planhat?
Teams evaluating a move from Salesforce and HubSpot to Planhat should note: Planhat is independently owned, with its ultimate ownership based in Sweden, and hosts customer data with Google Cloud Platform in EU region (Belgium/Netherlands reported), so this switch narrows but may not fully close the US CLOUD Act gap. Weigh that against the crm workflow fit before treating it as a complete Schrems II fix.
