Simplicité: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Simplicité is a low-code platform from Simplicité Software SAS in France, intended for developing and running business applications. Users model, configure and connect their applications in a visual environment and operate them with oversight of alerts, logs and tasks. The vendor calls it an application platform as a service (aPaaS) that can run on any kind of cloud: private, public or on-premises. According to the site, the platform is independent of the technical infrastructure and can run on PaaS services or in containers such as Docker.

Simplicité Software SAS is based in Champigny-sur-Marne, France, and the site names no parent company. Because you can run the platform on your own cloud or in your own data centre, you decide where your application data lives. The site gives no location for the free test environment that the vendor hosts itself. The privacy policy only says that personal data of contacts is kept in the EU, in France. Ask for a data processing agreement before you place production data on an environment hosted by the vendor.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Simplicité

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

Simplicité runs on infrastructure you choose and control yourself. You decide where the data lives, including fully within the EU if you want — this is not a fixed hosting choice made by the vendor.

Simplicité is closed source, but you run the software yourself on your own infrastructure. The encryption keys and the runtime therefore stay under your own control, though you cannot audit or modify the source code. Ask about export options and open standards to limit software-level lock-in.

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