Alternatives to Capterra

Capterra is one of the best-known places to research business software. Buyers use its categories, product comparisons and user reviews to build a shortlist, while software companies use it to become visible when businesses are actively looking for a new tool. Since 2026, Capterra has been part of G2 alongside Software Advice and GetApp.

There are good reasons to look beyond the largest software marketplaces. A company searching specifically for European software may care about details that are difficult to make central in a global review directory: where the provider is based, where its services are hosted, whether a DPA is available, and who actually operates the product.

This page collects European alternatives to Capterra for discovering business software. They are not necessarily copies of Capterra. Some focus on software reviews or comparisons; others approach discovery through curated products, startup launches, specialist categories or more detailed information about the companies behind the software.

Speartip takes the latter approach. It is a European software discovery and launch platform rather than a conventional review marketplace. Products are connected to their provider, country, disclosed hosting locations and available trust information. That makes it useful when the question is not only “Which software is popular?” but also “Who provides it, and where?”

Use the alternatives below according to the kind of research you are doing. Capterra remains useful for broad category research and large volumes of user reviews. A European software directory can be more useful when provider origin, European hosting, procurement requirements or discovering smaller European products are part of the decision.
