How we review

European software

Software from a European company that is also in European hands. For each category, the tools in the guide with the European badge, who owns them and where we read that.

How we decide

A tool gets the European badge if its headquarters are in one of the 31 countries of the EU or EFTA, and its owner is too. The owner is the parent company, or the company itself if it is independent. We only fill this in with a source: the imprint, the terms, a company register, an annual report or a press release about an acquisition. We do not count investors such as private equity funds as owners; we mention them on the tool page.

Another 109 tools with European headquarters have no verified owner. They are not listed here, because we do not know whether they have a parent outside Europe. Looking for a European alternative to an American tool?

European headquarters, owner outside Europe

These tools have headquarters in the EU or EFTA, but the parent company is based elsewhere. That is why they do not get the European badge.
