What's coming
One blog, three kinds of post
Every week, in English. No posts are out yet: the first issue is being written.
Comparisons
Side by side: a European service against the one it replaces, or against its European rivals. Features, pricing, ownership, data location.
Switching notes
What moving actually takes: exports, imports, what breaks and what you get back.
Comparisons
Side by side, criterion by criterion
Each comparison puts services next to each other on the same rows: what they do, what they cost, who owns them and where your data is stored. Facts with sources, not a winner picked for you.
How we compare
How a comparison is made
The same three steps for every service, so one comparison reads like the next.
- 1
Start from what you use
A comparison begins with the service you would move away from, and the European options that do the same job.
- 2
Compare on the same rows
Features, price, who owns the company and where the data is stored, filled in for every service alike.
- 3
Link the sources
Every fact links to where it comes from, and each comparison carries the date it was checked.
