Scope verdict

Ownership reviewed, controller unresolved

This service remains visible for context, but it is not counted or recommended as a European-controlled option.

How we classify services

CryptPad is an open source document collaboration service. It is zero knowledge, meaning the operator of the server cannot read what you write in it. Anyone can run their own instance, and the best known one, cryptpad.fr, is operated by the main developers.

cryptpad.fr is hosted in the EU on OVHcloud, which makes CryptPad a working European alternative to the American office suites. It suits teams, associations and classrooms that write together and want the server operator kept out of the content.

Pricing

Use is free for guests and for registered users, who get 1 GB of storage. A paid plan with more storage starts at 5 EUR per month, and as an open source project CryptPad also accepts donations.
