How we compared

Four questions each.

Checked November 13, 2026. Each tool's page lists its sources with their dates.

Bots that work by themselves
What starts its work without a person: a time, an event in a tool, a message.
Set up by telling it what to do
Plain words, or a workflow built step by step.
Asks before each change
By default, only where a builder adds it, or not at all.
Runs in the EU on every plan
Data and models, and on which plans.

The tools

7 workflow tools, in Europe.

  1. Chat with Work ours

    Bots you describe in a chat, or pick from 104 recipes, that start on a time, an email, a GitHub issue, a webhook, or a message, and ask before each change unless you let them run.

    Where: The app on our servers in Germany, and GPT, Gemini, and Claude, all in the EU. Web search, off by default, leaves the EU. Or on your own servers. Price: Free to start. From €20 a month for one person, and from €25 per person for teams plus VAT.

    • You'd rather describe a bot than wire one
    • Data and models in the EU
    • Changes ask first

  2. Zapier

    Yes, but Zapier says it "stores data on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the United States", and that it doesn't offer keeping data only in the EU.

    Where: "Zapier stores data on Amazon Web Services (AWS) in the United States." Asked whether data can be stored only in the EU, its privacy FAQ answers: "Zapier does not support this option." Price: Free: 100 tasks and 400 agent activities a month. Professional from $19.99 a month billed yearly; Team from $69. Agents Pro $33.33 a month billed yearly, for 1,500 activities.

  3. n8n

    Yes. n8n's hosted plans keep data in Frankfurt, Germany, and you can self-host it. Its AI runs wherever the model provider does: the one you connect, or OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google through n8n's own gateway.

    Where: "For hosted plans, data is stored within the EU, on servers located in Frankfurt, Germany." Model calls go to the provider you connect, or through n8n's gateway to OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google; its sub-processor list places OpenAI and Anthropic in the US, Google in the EU and US. Price: Starter €20 a month for 2,500 executions and Pro €50 for 10,000, billed yearly. Business €667 a month, self-hosted. Community Edition free.

  4. Make

    Yes, with limits. You pick the EU or the US when you create an organization, and EU data stays on AWS in Ireland, or in Germany on Enterprise. But Maia, web search, and Make's OpenAI models run in the US whichever you pick.

    Where: Make has "two data center locations", the US and the EU; EU data is on AWS in Ireland, or Germany on Enterprise. "Selecting the EU1 or EU2 data zone does not automatically mean every request gets processed and stays in the EU": Maia, web search, and all OpenAI models in Make's AI Provider run in the US, and an OpenAI-compatible provider of your own loses Make's EU guarantee. Price: Free: 1,000 credits a month. Core, Pro, and Teams are priced by credits, but their prices didn't load for us. Enterprise by quote.

    • You like to see every step as a module
    • You automate between many apps
    • Some of its AI running in the US is fine

  5. Gumloop

    Yes, but its privacy policy says "we transfer the data, including Personal Data, to United States and process it there". A region of your choice comes only by deploying it into your own cloud, on Enterprise.

    Where: "We transfer the data, including Personal Data, to United States and process it there", says its privacy policy. Its models come through Anthropic, OpenAI, the Gemini API, xAI, Fireworks AI, OpenRouter, and Vercel's AI Gateway, with no region named. Content from self-serve plans may train Gumloop's own models. Price: Pro $37 a month after a 14-day trial, for 20,000 credits, plus an 8% orchestration fee (16% with your own keys). Enterprise by quote.

    • You want agents set up in a chat
    • You'll run it in your own cloud
    • Data in the US is fine

  6. Activepieces

    Yes. "Our cloud runs in Frankfurt by default", and its MIT-licensed Community Edition runs on your own servers. Where its cloud's own AI models run isn't named.

    Where: "Our cloud runs in Frankfurt by default, and we can host elsewhere if your policy needs it." Free can't bring its own AI keys and doesn't say which provider answers; Plus and up can bring keys for Azure, Bedrock, Vertex AI, or any OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Price: Free: 1,000 credits. Plus $20 a month for 10,000, Team $200 for 50,000, then $0.007 a credit. Ultimate and Embed by quote.

    • You'll pick your own model provider

    Activepieces alternative in the EU, with sources

  7. Lindy

    Lindy publishes no regional restriction, and names no hosting region: its security page says only that residency requirements are supported. Reviews say it hosts in the US by default, which we couldn't confirm.

    Where: Not named. Its security page says "residency requirements are all supported"; its privacy notice lists Google Cloud, AWS, DigitalOcean, MongoDB, and Cloudflare, without regions. Price: Free with $50 in credits for 7 days. Team $29.99 a month for 3,000 credits, each active user billed; more at $10 per 1,000. Enterprise by quote.

    • Your team works in Slack

Instead of writing workflows by hand, just write them in English.

FAQ

Zapier and n8n alternatives, answered.

What is the best Zapier alternative in Europe?

If your data and your AI must stay in the EU, the choice is short. As of November 13, 2026, Zapier stores data in the US with no EU option, n8n keeps data in Frankfurt while its AI runs wherever the model provider does, Activepieces' cloud runs in Frankfurt without naming where its own models run, and Make's EU zone leaves out its OpenAI models. Chat with Work runs the app in Germany and every model in the EU, on every plan.

Is there an n8n alternative without building workflows?

Yes. In Chat with Work you tell a bot what to do in a chat and approve it on one card, or start from one of 104 recipes. Its instructions stay plain words, and it works out the steps each run.

Which of these can I self-host?

n8n and Activepieces, which are open source, and Chat with Work, with local models if you like. Gumloop deploys into your own cloud on Enterprise.

Which ones ask before they change something?

Chat with Work's bots ask before each change unless you let them run. The others ask where a builder adds an approval step, or where you set an app to ask; Gumloop's apps start at Always allow.

Bots instead of workflows.

Pick a recipe, or describe the chore in a chat. It runs in the EU on every plan, and its changes ask first unless you let them run.
