When each provider is the right fit
We believe in honesty. Here is when each platform is the right choice.
When GDPR compliance is mandatory
You need a DPA, EU hosting and a local contracting partner. You want self-service and consulting in one place. You have a mix of developers and non-developers. SMEs with compliance obligations or a strict DE/EU policy.
When model breadth matters
You need access to every frontier model (GPT-4, Claude, Gemini) and want the lowest margin and global routing. GDPR does not matter to you, or you are not handling personal data.
When Mistral models are enough
You are happy with the Mistral portfolio (Large, Codestral, Pixtral), do not need a model aggregator, and accept a French provider hosted on AWS in the EU.
When only GPT matters
You are locked into the OpenAI ecosystem (GPT Store, Sora, Voice Mode). You need the newest OpenAI features immediately and accept a US provider with seat-based subscriptions.
What only EuGPT offers
No one else has all of these at once:
- DPA under GDPR Art. 28 included directly at signup — not via third countries, not via DPA workarounds.
- Self-hosted inference from Frankfurt — external providers are clearly labelled instead of hidden behind global routing.
- Chat UI & OpenAI-compatible API in a single product — for non-developers and developers alike.
- Custom GPTs with GPT Store build your own assistant without code, on German servers.
- Consulting as fixed-price packages a local point of contact instead of an anonymous SaaS hotline.
- Credits or self-hosted subscription from €5 in credits, an optional subscription for included usage, German VAT invoicing.
This combination does not exist anywhere else. If even one of these points matters to you, EuGPT is the right choice.
