Notion is powerful, but it's a US company and data residency options are limited. Here are seven EU-built alternatives.
1. Nuclino (Germany) Clean, fast wiki and knowledge base tool built in Munich. EU servers, simple pricing.
2. Slite (France) Paris-based team knowledge base. Strong focus on documentation culture.
3. Slab (available in EU) US-founded but GDPR-compliant with EU data residency option on paid plans.
4. AppFlowy (open source) Self-hostable Notion alternative. Run it on Hetzner for full data control.
5. Outline (open source) Another self-hostable wiki. Clean UI, markdown-first, great for developer teams.
The recommendation For teams that need hosted SaaS: **Nuclino** or **Slite**. For teams that want full data control: self-host **AppFlowy** or **Outline** on a Hetzner VPS.
