Prospect CRM vs Salesforce

Last updated October 2026

Looking for a European alternative to Salesforce? Here's how Prospect CRM compares, on EU hosting, GDPR and what it does.

Our pick for a European buyer: Prospect CRM. We weight data residency, GDPR and EU jurisdiction above everything else — that is the constraint this directory exists to solve.
