Framadate: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Framadate is an open-source tool for agreeing on a meeting date or running a simple poll. A group creates a date poll or a standard poll, shares the link, and participants indicate their availability or choice. Framadate is an alternative to Doodle. The underlying software, Pollaris, is licensed under the GNU Affero General Public License v3, and organisations can also install it on their own servers.

Framadate is run by Framasoft, a French non-profit association founded under the 1901 law, which operates the public instance on its own servers. Because the operator and its hosting are based in France, EU data protection law applies. Organisations that want full control over their data can run the software on their own infrastructure. The public pages do not state the server location explicitly.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Framadate

Framadate is headquartered in FR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Framadate scores best on data residency.

Framadate is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Framadate together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
