Frequently asked questions
What are the best European alternatives to Slack, Google Docs, Notion?
+
EuroShift lists 4 European team communication tools that are GDPR-compliant, hosted in the EU or Switzerland and reviewed on data sovereignty, encryption and pricing.
Are European team communication tools GDPR-compliant?
+
Yes. Every team communication provider in this directory stores data within the EU or Switzerland and operates under GDPR, with no US Cloud Act exposure.
Are European team communication alternatives more expensive?
+
Usually not. Most European team communication providers are priced comparably to their US counterparts, and several offer a free tier or lower entry pricing.
Is my data safe from the US Cloud Act?
+
Providers headquartered in the EU or Switzerland with EU-only hosting fall outside US jurisdiction, so the Cloud Act and FISA 702 do not apply to your data.
How difficult is it to migrate from Slack, Google Docs, Notion?
+
Most European team communication providers offer import tools, data export in open formats and migration support, so a switch usually takes days rather than weeks.
