Manifesto

The internet was built on the promise of decentralization, openness, and fair competition. Yet today, a handful of US tech giants control the digital infrastructure that billions rely on daily.

Why This Matters

When you use services from a single ecosystem, you're not just choosing convenience—you're choosing where your money goes, which values you support, and what kind of internet you want to build for the future.

Our Principles

• Data Sovereignty: Your data should be subject to European privacy laws (GDPR), not foreign surveillance.
• Economic Independence: Support local jobs and innovation instead of enriching foreign monopolies.
• Cultural Diversity: Preserve European values and perspectives in technology.
• Fair Competition: Choose from a diverse marketplace, not a winner-takes-all ecosystem.
• Sustainability: Many EU alternatives prioritize environmental responsibility.

The Goal

We're not anti-American. We're pro-choice. This directory exists to show that alternatives exist—often better ones—that respect your privacy, support your local economy, and contribute to a more balanced digital ecosystem.

How to Use the Directory

Browse the full directory by category and country, read the guides for a ranking of one category at a time, or follow the updates to see what we added most recently. If a European service is missing, the Suggest button in the header opens an email to us.

Every service you switch is a vote for the internet you want to see.
