Data location you can check
The pricing table shows whether each one keeps data in the EU only, offers an EU region, or does not say.
Outside the US CLOUD Act

2 European Alternatives
Feld AI
Feld.ai is an Austrian AI company that transforms unstructured documents into usable, structured information using a combination of AI and human expertise. The platform specializes in intelligent document processing (IDP) — extracting data from invoices, contracts, forms, and other business documents with high accuracy. Feld.ai's approach combines machine learning with human-in-the-loop validation to ensure data quality, making it suitable for regulated industries where accuracy is critical. The platform processes documents in the EU and is GDPR compliant.
Octonomy is a German AI process automation company that combines artificial intelligence with robotic process automation (RPA) to automate complex business workflows. The platform goes beyond traditional RPA by using AI to handle unstructured data, make decisions, and adapt to changing inputs — enabling automation of processes that previously required human judgment. Octonomy targets enterprise back-office operations including invoice processing, claims handling, and data migration. The platform integrates with existing enterprise systems and can be deployed on-premises or in EU cloud environments.
What to Check Before Switching from ABBYY
Where your data will be stored
Both alternatives here say they keep data in the EU only.
How you can try it
None of the alternatives here publishes a free plan, so plan for a paid trial period that overlaps with ABBYY. Octonomy sells on custom quotes only, which usually means a sales call before you can try it.
Security certifications
We have not confirmed a security certification for any of these alternatives yet. If your procurement requires ISO 27001 or SOC 2, ask each vendor for its documentation.
What you need to bring from ABBYY
List the data, templates and integrations you rely on in ABBYY, then confirm each one can be exported and that the alternative can import it or offers an API to rebuild it.
