Best European PaaS providers in 2026

Eurobase, Clever Cloud, Scalingo, Upsun, Sliplane and Scaleway compared: who runs each platform, what it costs, what it lacks and which one fits your app.

View as Markdown

The best European PaaS depends on what you deploy. Eurobase fits Next.js and frontend apps at a flat €10 or €20 a month. Clever Cloud and Scalingo fit full applications that need a managed database and ISO 27001. Upsun fits teams that need a preview environment for every branch, Sliplane fits Docker apps on a fixed-price server, and Scaleway fits teams already building containers.

What makes a PaaS European

Ask three questions. A provider can pass one and fail another.

Where does the app run? Most US platforms offer a European region.
Who runs the service? A company in the EU answers to EU law first. Read more in EU region vs EU company.
Whose infrastructure is underneath? Upsun's own region list shows some European regions on Google and AWS. Eurobase runs on Scaleway. Ask for the subprocessor list.

1. Eurobase

Eurobase deploys web apps from GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, Forgejo or Gitea. Frameworks such as Next.js, Astro and Nuxt run on V8 isolates, and servers in Node.js, Python, Go, Java, Ruby, PHP and .NET run as containers. It also includes Functions, file storage and logs, and coding agents can deploy through its MCP server.

Best for: frontend and full-stack apps at a predictable price.
Price: a Free plan, then €10 or €20 a month + VAT for the workspace, with no price per seat. Today there are no usage charges. Actions over a limit are refused, Workers and Functions stop until the monthly reset, and containers and static sites keep serving.
What it lacks: preview deployments, managed Postgres, MySQL or Redis, and Dockerfile builds. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are in progress.

2. Clever Cloud

A French platform with a Git-push workflow and no Dockerfile required. It operates its own datacenters in France and is certified ISO/IEC 27001:2022.

Best for: companies that need certifications and many languages and add-ons.
Price: by instance size and count, with free credits to start.
What it lacks: a flat monthly plan.

3. Scalingo

A Heroku-style platform from Strasbourg. It is ISO 27001 certified, with an HDS option and a SecNumCloud region built on Outscale.

Best for: teams leaving Heroku, and regulated French workloads.
Price: containers from €7.20 for 256 MB, estimated over 30 days and excluding VAT. Databases are priced separately.
What it lacks: one price for the whole app.

4. Upsun

Upsun gives every branch a full preview environment, including its services. Regions include Paris, Gravelines, Stockholm and Zurich.

Best for: teams whose review process depends on full copies of the stack.
Price: €9 per project and €10 per user a month, plus CPU, memory and storage billed hourly.
What it lacks: simple pricing. Some of its European regions run on US clouds, so choose the region with care.

5. Sliplane

Sliplane, from Berlin, hosts Docker containers from GitHub or an image. You pay for a server and run as many services on it as fit.

Best for: several Docker services at one fixed price.
Price: from €9 a month, with managed Postgres and storage as extras.
What it lacks: a free plan. It also has regions outside Europe, so choose Germany or Finland.

6. Scaleway Serverless Containers

Run any container in Paris, Amsterdam, Warsaw or Milan, scaling from zero to 200 instances.

Best for: teams that already build container images and want to pay by use.
Price: 400,000 GB-s of memory and 200,000 vCPU-s free each month, then €0.20 per 100,000 GB-s and €1.00 per 100,000 vCPU-s.
What it lacks: a Git-to-production workflow.

Frequently asked questions

Which European PaaS is the cheapest?

For a small app, Eurobase has a Free plan and Scalingo starts at €7.20 a month. The total depends on your database and traffic, so price your own setup.

Which European PaaS has ISO 27001?

Clever Cloud and Scalingo both state ISO 27001 certification on their sites. Eurobase doesn't have it yet. ISO 27001 and SOC 2 are in progress.

Is there a European PaaS with no US subprocessors?

Check the list for each provider and for the features you use. Eurobase, for example, lists GitHub and GitLab as US subprocessors when you connect those services. Codeberg is a European alternative for your code.
