Petit BamBou
Europe's leading meditation app, with guided programmes in multiple languages. Independent and privately held – a European alternative to Calm and Headspace.
Quick facts
Programmes are available in multiple languages rather than English-only, and being Europe's most popular meditation app means there's a genuinely large content library, not just a handful of starter sessions.
The free tier only unlocks a handful of introductory sessions, and most of the real content library sits behind the paid subscription.
Why does it score 78?
Incorporated in Paris, France – a full EU member state.
Independently and privately held, with no outside majority owner.
Petit BamBou runs on AWS's EU region rather than European-owned infrastructure, which is why the data score sits lower despite the French HQ.
GDPR-compliant, but the app isn't open source, which keeps the accountability score modest.
