Building a SaaS in 2026 Using Only EU Services

A practical guide to building a SaaS product on a 100% European stack: hosting, payments, CDN, analytics, and transactional email.

Good list but the biggest missing piece for most new SaaS products right now is AI/LLM APIs. If you're building anything with AI features you're calling OpenAI, Anthropic, or similar - all US. Mistral exists but the ecosystem around it is much thinner. That's probably the hardest US dependency to drop in 2026 that I can think of.

Plausible is a great pick though, been using it and it covers most of what you'd want from analytics unless you need GA/GTM tied to ad campaigns.

What are some useful ways SaaS companies are using AI? Great way to axe your customer support team.
Great ways to get buzzwords on your investor slides!

I mostly meant getting to call your product barely used AI toilet paper instead of just barely used toilet paper.
