Make (part of Celonis)
Powerful and cheaper automation than Zapier, with EU data storage.
Best for: More advanced automation at a lower price.
Automation platform from Berlin with openly available source code (fair-code) that can be self-hosted for free on your own EU server. The cloud version costs and requires more tech than Zapier.
Best for: Technically skilled small businesses that want to own their automation and data.
Finnish integration platform (iPaaS) built for regulated industries with high demands on data residency. Enterprise-oriented with price negotiation, not self-service.
Best for: Growing companies in regulated industries (healthcare, finance, energy) that need EU data residency.
Danish platform that moves and syncs data between your apps and data warehouse (ELT and reverse-ETL). More data-focused than a classic Zapier automation.
Best for: Companies that want to collect data from multiple systems and sync it back to their tools.
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.
Make 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.
