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.

In Xero for example I can search for invoices or contacts in a much slower and more cumbersome fashion in the new AI tool than I can with the old search field!

Oh, you mean a useful way, never mind.
