The European alternative to Google Workspace
Binadit Workspace gives your company mail, calendar, files, documents, video meetings and chat, like Google Workspace. The difference: everything runs on our own servers in the Netherlands, run by a Dutch company, under European law.
Why companies look for an alternative
American law applies
Google is an American company. Under the US Cloud Act, American authorities can demand data from it, wherever that data is stored.
Paying per person for everything
Every user pays for the whole package, also the colleague who only reads mail. Storage is tied to the plan per person.
Your data, their terms
Terms, prices and features change when Google decides. Moving away later gets harder with every year of data.
Binadit Workspace and Google Workspace
The points that decide where your company's data lives and what it costs.

|---|---|---|
| Company and law | Binadit B.V., Rotterdam, under European law | Google LLC, United States; the US Cloud Act applies |
| Where data lives | On Binadit's own servers in the Netherlands | Google's data centres; a data region can be chosen in some plans |
| On your own domain, for the webmail, Northmail or any mail program over IMAP, CalDAV and CardDAV | Gmail; other programs through IMAP or Google's own sync | |
| Files and documents | Binadit Drive with files on demand, and documents in the browser with Office | Google Drive with Docs, Sheets and Slides |
| Meetings and chat | Meet without an account for guests, and Conserio chat with one price per company | Google Meet and Google Chat |
| Pricing | Mailboxes by size, one Drive pool per company, chat per company | One price per user for the whole plan |
How the switch works
-
Look at what you have
In a demo we go through your accounts, shared drives, groups and the apps you use.
-
Move mail, calendars and files
The Binadit Workspace Migration app moves mail, calendars and contacts from Google Workspace, account by account. We help you copy the files from Google Drive to Binadit Drive.
-
Switch over
We change your DNS records with you. Your team keeps working in the webmail, in Northmail or in the mail program they already use.
When Google Workspace fits better
If your company depends on Google's own apps, such as AppSheet, Looker Studio or deep integrations with Google Cloud, staying is easier. Binadit Workspace is for companies that want their everyday mail, files and meetings in Europe.
