European alternatives to HubSpot
HubSpot is a comprehensive marketing and CRM platform based in the US. European alternatives offer GDPR-oriented data processing – from marketing suites to lean CRMs.
Why look for an alternative?
Reasons include European data processing, costs (HubSpot can quickly become expensive) and the desire for a less complex solution for smaller teams.
What to look for in an alternative
- Provider headquarters and servers in the EU
- Suitable feature set: marketing suite or pure CRM
- DPA available
- Integrations into existing tools
- Value for money for the team size

The top providers in detail
Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) combines email marketing, automations, SMS and a lightweight CRM in one platform. As a French company with EU data processing and ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certification, it is an obvious GDPR-oriented alternative to US providers such as Mailchimp. Data is stored in the EU (own servers as well as OVH and Google Cloud in the EU region). Entry is possible for free; the cheapest paid Starter plan starts at €7 per month (5,000 emails, unlimited contacts).
Strengths
- Broad feature set (email, SMS, automation, CRM)
- Generous free plan, low-cost entry (€7/month)
- EU data processing, ISO/IEC 27001:2022 certified
Weaknesses
- Not open source
- Cloud partly on Google Cloud infrastructure (EU region)
- Can become expensive at very high sending volumes
SuperOffice is a CRM founded in Oslo in 1989 that targets mid-sized and larger B2B companies. The platform covers sales, marketing and customer service in a single system and is particularly established in the DACH region and Northern Europe. As an independent European vendor, SuperOffice stores customer data in European data centers that do not leave Europe, and it is ISO/IEC 27001 certified. Pricing starts at around €45 per user per month; every plan includes the full CRM feature set.
Strengths
- Independent European vendor (Norway/EEA)
- Data in European data centers, ISO/IEC 27001
- Comprehensive CRM for sales, marketing and service
- Established in the DACH region, German-language support
Weaknesses
- Not open source, no self-hosting

- Rather oversized for very small teams
CentralStationCRM (42he GmbH) from Cologne is deliberately aimed at small businesses and teams looking for simple, uncluttered contact and sales management. Data is stored redundantly and GDPR-compliantly on the company's own servers in Germany, and transmission is SSL-encrypted. There is a free Starter version (3 users, 200 contacts); the cheapest paid plan (Team) starts at €24 per month, cancellable monthly with no minimum term.
Strengths
- Simple and quick to deploy, cancellable monthly
- Own servers and headquarters in Germany
- Free entry version, fair for small teams
Weaknesses
- Less automation and fewer integrations than large CRMs
