Common questions
- What is the best European alternative to Gmail?
- Tuta Mail by Tuta currently ranks highest, with an EU-ness score of 100/100 (grade A). Ranking reflects verified evidence about manufacturing, ownership, hosting and jurisdiction — not popularity or advertising.
- How are these alternatives to Gmail ranked?
- Each product is scored against a published rubric covering where it is made or developed, who controls the company, where data is hosted, and which jurisdiction applies. Every input must be citable on the producer's own site, carries the date it was checked, and loses weight as it ages.
