Looking for an EU alternative to Zoom?
Zoom is a US company. On Zoom, full EU data residency is for Enterprise and Education accounts; smaller plans can only choose regions for live meeting traffic. If you want an EU company and EU hosting on a small-team budget, pick a tool made and hosted in the EU, like FaceWithMe.
Why people look for a Zoom alternative
- They want an EU company, not only EU servers.
- Customers don’t want to install an app just to talk to support.
- They pay for big meeting features but mostly have 1-to-1 calls with customers.
What Zoom offers in the EU
Zoom has dedicated EU infrastructure for EU Enterprise and Education accounts. Pro and Business plans can choose data-centre regions for live meeting traffic. Guests can join from a browser with the Zoom web app. Zoom Pro costs $16.99 per user per month on monthly billing. See our full Zoom comparison for sources.
What to look for in an alternative
- An EU company with no US parent.
- Calls hosted in the EU by default, on every plan.
- Guests join from the browser with no account.
- Recordings you control.
- Tools for customer calls: snapshots, drawing, file sharing.
Where FaceWithMe fits
FaceWithMe is made by an EU company and hosted in Brussels. It is built for calls with customers, with up to 8 people per call. It is not a webinar tool: if you need 100-person meetings, Zoom or Teams is a better fit.
