Lowcoder: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Lowcoder is a low-code app builder that lets teams build internal and customer-facing software. The vendor states that the Enterprise Edition is fully open source as well. The project is licensed under the GNU AGPL version 3 and can run on the organisation's own infrastructure with Docker Compose or Helm charts, or through an independent hosting provider. The vendor also offers its own cloud service.

Lowcoder Software Ltd is registered in London, England, which places the company outside the EU and EEA, so the vendor falls under UK rather than EU jurisdiction. Because the software can run on the organisation's own servers, a European organisation keeps control of its data by self-hosting. The vendor's website does not name the location of its cloud data centres and does not mention the GDPR, so a European customer using the hosted option should check data location and data processing terms first.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Lowcoder

Lowcoder is headquartered in GB, outside the EU. Contracts and data therefore also fall under non-European law. The GDPR applies through contractual terms, but in a conflict with local legislation you have less certainty than with a European vendor.

Lowcoder hosts data outside the EU (OTHER). Personal data therefore leaves the EU, which requires a transfer mechanism under the GDPR and pulls the data residency score down.

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