LabPlot: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

LabPlot is a desktop application for visualising and analysing scientific and engineering data. With a few clicks you create interactive plots; it also offers statistics, regression, curve and peak fitting, extraction of data from plot images, and real-time data. Computational notebooks with Python, R, Julia and others are available as well. The program imports and exports many file formats and runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD and Haiku.

LabPlot is made by KDE, the community behind the Plasma desktop among other software, which is represented legally by KDE e.V., an association with its registered seat in Berlin. The software is open source under the GPL (version 2 or later). Because it runs locally on your own computer, your data and analyses stay with you and no account with the maker is needed. The project site mentions no hosted service. Development was co-funded through the EU's NGI Zero programme, run by NLnet.

Why digital sovereignty matters with LabPlot

LabPlot is headquartered in DE 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 LabPlot scores best on data residency.

LabPlot 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 LabPlot together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
