Pitch: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Pitch is a collaborative presentation platform. Teams create, edit and share slides in a cloud workspace with a slide editor, templates, a shared brand library, live co-editing and comments. The platform also offers AI assistance for generating slides, import of PPTX files, sharing via links or 'pitch rooms', and insight into how viewers engage with a presentation. It is delivered as SaaS and targets software companies, sales teams, creative agencies and freelance designers, among others.

Pitch is provided by Pitch Software GmbH in Berlin, Germany. According to its GDPR page, the service runs on Amazon Web Services, with data stored in the Ireland region (eu-west-1). The privacy policy adds that Pitch uses providers in both the EU and the US, with transfers outside the EU based on standard contractual clauses, and that a list of these processors is available on request. Pitch is not open source. For a European organisation, the sub-processor overview in the data processing agreement is therefore the document to review.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Pitch

Pitch 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 Pitch scores best on data residency.

Pitch is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

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