What you would leave
The alternatives, ranked
4,3 Very good
Swedish Email assistance Freemium EU data storage ✓
Swedish AI platform from Gothenburg with a Swedish interface and a ready-made email writer. Runs on international models (GPT/Claude) behind the scenes, so the Swedish tone is good but the base model is not in-house developed.

- EU data storage and GDPR-adapted
- Builds on American models in the background and has no own language model
Best for: Small-business owners who want to write emails in Swedish in a Swedish tool with data inside the EU and payment in SEK.
4,2 Very good
Swedish Marketing Freemium EU data storage ✓
Swedish platform for newsletters, marketing automation and SMS with data processing within the EU/EEA and Swedish-language support. The catch: the free plan only holds 250 contacts and the price climbs quickly as the list grows (Professional from 595 SEK/month for 2,500 contacts).
- Swedish company (Stockholm, founded 2007), data processed within the EU/EEA according to the DPA
- Free entry plan and personal Swedish support via email and phone

EU/EEA Email assistance From approx 465 SEK/month EU data storage ✓ ISO 27001

- Forwards prompts to OpenAI (USA) for generation
Best for: Companies that want to write sales emails and newsletters in Swedish with data remaining in the EU.
How to switch
Check that you can export your data (the EU Data Act now gives you the right to switch cloud services with a maximum 2-month notice), set up the new tool in parallel and move gradually.
Remember: the Data Act gives you a legal right to get your data out and switch cloud services, with a maximum 2-month notice period.
Common questions
Why switch from Mailchimp?
Mailchimp is controlled from a country outside the EU. For non-sensitive use this is rarely a problem, but for customer data, personal data or the public sector a Swedish or European vendor means simpler GDPR work and no CLOUD Act exposure through ownership.
