EuroAlternative is a community driven list of European alternatives to big tech software companies.
EuroAlternative is my passion project to showcase European-made alternatives to big tech services. I created this directory because I believe in a digital landscape where European innovation thrives alongside global tech giants. This site aims to be your go-to resource when looking for digital services that support our European economy.
This directory grows stronger with community involvement. Share your discoveries, experiences, and suggestions as we build a more diverse European digital ecosystem together. Let's show that European tech can thrive when we support each other!
The idea came to me when I was struggling to find European cloud services for my own business. I realized how difficult it was to discover these alternatives despite the amazing tech talent we have in Europe. So I decided to build the resource I wished existed.
I've always been passionate about digital sovereignty and supporting local businesses. Creating this directory felt like the perfect way to connect European developers with users who want alternatives that align with European values and regulations.
🏢 They keep money in our economy — When we choose European services, we support local jobs and innovation. Our spending circulates in Europe rather than flowing overseas.
🔐 They respect our privacy values — European companies typically take GDPR seriously, keeping our data under stronger protection frameworks that reflect European privacy values.
💼 They simplify business for European companies — From VAT refunds to familiar payment methods and consistent regulations, working with other European businesses just makes sense.
Join me in supporting European alternatives and help us build a stronger European digital ecosystem! Let's make Europe great again!
This is a fantastic and much-needed project! It's so true how difficult it can be to find solid European alternatives, even with all the great tech being built here. I love that you're building the resource you wished you had.
As the directory grows with more community submissions, what's your plan for the UI/UX? I'm curious how you're thinking about evolving the design to best showcase all the alternatives and encourage contributions.
Great initiative, I've already bookmarked it!
