Workflow automation tools connect business apps and run multi-step tasks between them, such as copying form entries into a CRM or posting alerts to a chat channel, without custom code. Buyers in Europe look for European vendors because these workflows carry customer records and app credentials, and they want that data kept in the EU and under EU law. The strongest European options are Make (Czech Republic) for non-developers building multi-step app automations, n8n (Germany) for technical teams that want to self-host and Tines (Ireland) for security and IT teams automating alert handling.

Showing the 15 largest of 58. Headcount is the latest known figure.
A company counts as European if it's headquartered in Europe: the EU, the EEA, Switzerland, the UK, or elsewhere in geographic Europe, never Russia or Belarus. Headquarters means where it's run from, not a registered office. Companies founded in Europe but headquartered elsewhere today are listed separately, and a non-European owner is always named.
Each company was checked against its own legal notice, pricing page and data-processing terms, and its G2 page. The order weighs how fully each one replaces the US leaders, its track record and its ratings. No company paid to be listed or ranked.
Make (Czech Republic) for non-developers building multi-step app automations, n8n (Germany) for technical teams that want to self-host and Tines (Ireland) for security and IT teams automating alert handling. Each is headquartered in Europe; the table compares their hosting, prices and G2 ratings.
Make, n8n, Tines, Sheetgo and Latenode have a free plan with no time limit.
n8n and Alumio store customer data in Europe by default. Being European doesn't make a tool GDPR compliant on its own: check its data processing agreement too.
LeadWave's database lists 58 European Workflow Automation software companies, most of them in United Kingdom (17) and Germany (8). All of them, with their CEOs' contacts, are in our list of 4,000+ European SaaS companies.
Yes. Make, based in Prague, and n8n, based in Berlin, are the closest. Both connect thousands of apps through a visual editor. Make lets you choose an EU data centre when you create an organization; n8n Cloud stores data in Frankfurt, and n8n can also be self-hosted.
Yes. n8n, Frends and Camunda can run on your own servers. n8n's Community Edition is free to self-host under its Sustainable Use License, which publishes the source code but is not an OSI-approved open-source licence.
No. n8n Cloud and Alumio host in the EU by default, and Make, Tines and Camunda let you pick a European region. Latenode (Cyprus) runs on AWS in the United States, and Sheetgo (Spain) keeps its core infrastructure in the United States.
