Why European Companies Choose Cogny Over Stape

When GDPR compliance and data sovereignty matter, infrastructure ownership makes all the difference.

  • • Runs on US-owned cloud infrastructure (Google Cloud/AWS)
  • • Data flows through US company servers
  • • Subject to CLOUD Act and US jurisdiction
  • • Multiple sub-processors increase compliance risk
  • • Complex cloud platform management required
  • • Hidden costs from cloud usage and overages

✅ The Cogny Solution

  • • 100% European-owned physical servers
  • • Data centers owned and operated in Europe
  • • No US jurisdiction or CLOUD Act exposure
  • • Minimal European-only sub-processors
  • • Simple 5-minute setup, no cloud expertise needed
  • • Transparent, predictable pricing with no surprises
