I’m building Euro Toolhub: a German-first index of European software alternatives

I’m building Euro Toolhub , a German-first index of European software, SaaS, cloud and AI alternatives.

The idea is simple: many companies, agencies, developers and privacy-conscious users want alternatives to common tools when they care about things like data residency, open source, self-hosting, European jurisdiction or reducing dependency on non-European providers.

But most existing lists stop at listing tools.

I want Euro Toolhub to go one step further.

Each provider profile can include:

1. country and jurisdiction
2. category
3. alternative-to mappings
4. open source status
5. self-hosting availability
6. EU data residency
7. DPA availability
8. certifications where known
9. target audience
10. strengths and limitations
11. a transparent sovereignty score
12. embeddable badges for providers

The project starts in German because the first target market is DACH, but the structure is prepared for more languages later.

The long-term vision is to build a practical decision platform for digital sovereignty: not just “which European alternatives exist?”, but “which one fits my actual use case?”

Current categories include web analytics, cloud and hosting, newsletter tools, CRM, email, password managers, AI APIs, project management, video conferencing and e-signatures.

I’m looking for feedback from developers, SaaS founders, privacy people and self-hosting communities:

1. Which European tools should be added?
2. Which categories matter most?
3. What would make a sovereignty score trustworthy?
4. Should the provider dataset be opened through GitHub for corrections and submissions?
