I'm constantly working on https://only-eu.eu/en

A directory of European software and general alternatives to popular products.

Think cloud storage, email, VPN, browsers, smartphones, bikes,... About 175 products across 30+ categories right now.

Next categories will be: personal health, commercial e-mail and newsletter management.

If you have a product that's missing here, please feel free to suggest it via the suggestion form on the site.

Nice work, thank you for this! The current "main option" for this (european-alternatives.eu) is greatly stale, and isn't responsive to suggestions. I'd love to see an alternative (ha!) rise up and take its place.

Thanks for that.

For what it's worth, two days ago on the radio some politician said that for more software sovereignty to take off, all we'd need is such a catalog! ;-).

Sounds pretty cool!

I've been taking a look at it and browsed through the categories. Is it also for apps? Now that I'm writing this - as I saw WhatsApp as an example with 5 alternatives listed - probably yes. So let me reframe the question: Does it have to be an alternative to some other existing thingy or are you also willing to list genuine apps?

Asking for a friend ;-)

  • Haha, If you want shoot me a message over at hello@only-eu.eu and maybe we can help your friend xD , if it fits on the site, and if it's from europe, let's see what we can do.
