Zencount vs. Runway
Very polished UI from the US — modern, but data leaves the EU and pricing is per seat.
Runway is US-hosted — your financial data falls under the US CLOUD Act. Zencount is a German product, hosted in Germany, GDPR-compliant, with row-level security and AES-256. Digitally sovereign — from Europe, for Europe.
