Ranked by feature parity + compliance score. Migration friction is weighted higher than feature breadth.
Paris-based E2E-encrypted open-source collaboration suite (CryptPad by XWiki SAS), NLnet/NGI-EU-funded; zero-knowledge architecture.
Open-source E2EE note-taking app by French developer Laurent Cozic (2016); Joplin Cloud hosted in France; €2.99/mo; self-sync to any EU storage.
Estonian-incorporated zero-knowledge encrypted photos / notes / docs PWA (Cryptee, 2018, John Ozbay), bootstrapped, open source.
For every product we read the public DPA, sub-processors document, hosting region declaration, and corporate ownership records. Each is timestamped. Compliance score is editorial, re-verified quarterly. We never accept self-attestation.
