Software engineer/manager from Latvia. Interested in digital sovereignty and EU alternatives to big tech. Building solo projects, one of which is euvetted.com - a directory of European and privacy-first SaaS alternatives to major US tools, with hosting region, ownership and CLOUD Act data per listing. Affiliate-funded (probably will be in future)

  • I am actually eager to fix, not delete. Every claim is sourced so if a company finds any assessment wrong the first thing I want is them to show me and I will correct it asap. There were couple of cases already.

    The removal is for other case tho. Some companies just don’t want to be on the list. At some point keeping them there will not help anyone. The whole point of this website is to help people find good options, not pointing which is worse. My thought here is that no good product would claim for a removal anyway.

    I will look for a way to work this around tho, as displaying something the company doesn’t like might still be very useful for the users.










  • Good catch, thanks. The listing is KeePassXC specifically and that fork really is desktop-onlyб so the “no mobile” is technically true for that one app. But you’re right that it reads wrong in a comparison: the whole point of KeePassXC is the local .kdbx file, and that opens fine in mobile apps like KeePassDX on Android or Strongbox/KeePassium on iOS. So the KeePass approach does have mobile, even if this app doesn’t ship it.

    I’ll fix the wording so it doesn’t imply you’re stuck on desktop. Thanks for flagging it.


  • Yeah, that is a great feature, I would use it myself.

    There’s two sides to it really: one is finding a single EU platform that swallows a few of your tools at once (Proton covers mail, calendar, drive, pass and VPN in one account; Infomaniak’s kSuite is close to a Workspace replacement) and the other is just building a clean EU bundle across your whole stack.

    I’ve got curated “stacks” pages that do a rough static version, but the tick-your-tools-and-see-what-covers-them thing isn’t built yet. Probably the version people would actually use though. Will definitely build it soon.



  • Thanks for digging in properly, this is exactly the kind of feedback I was hoping for!

    On the data centre thing - yes, fair point. Right now each listing has one hosting country, the EU region I checked, not the full “every region this vendor runs.” So for OVH I’ve got the EU side, but I’m not flagging that you could spin up in their US or Canada region by accident. Should fix that. Two things that help though: I keep ownership and hosting separate on purpose: OVH’s French, so even their US datacentres sit under a French parent, which is a different animal from a US company that just offers an EU region. And EU/EEA is the actual bar for me, not “Europe” loosely - UK and Canada don’t count even though everyone lumps them in.

    DNS and registrars - yeah, not there, blind spot. Part of it is what you said: Bunny and Gcore are umbrella shops where DNS is one product of twenty, so they don’t slot in cleanly. CloudNS is the easy one. If you’ve still got the registrar list you clicked through, I’d take it and I’d want to check who actually owns what before listing, Gcore especially.

    TLD ownership is a great shout though. “Your precious .dev is Google’s” most people have no clue. I already do write-ups like that (did one on CLOUD Act exposure), so mapping the new gTLDs fits perfectly. Might build it.
