Trustee.eu vs DataGuard — Enterprise Features, DPO-Friendly Price

DataGuard is a well-funded platform with strong features — but it is built for enterprises, priced for enterprises, and available only in German and English. Trustee.eu delivers the features external DPOs actually need at a price that makes sense for independent practitioners.

DataGuard has raised over EUR 60 million and is moving upmarket toward enterprise clients. Their minimum contract starts at EUR 500/month with annual commitments — pricing that does not work for independent DPOs managing 10-20 SMB clients. If you need a multi-tenant tool in more than two languages, DataGuard is not built for you.

DataGuard is excellent for enterprises with EUR 50,000+ annual budgets. For external DPOs who need a multi-tenant, multilingual tool at a fair price — Trustee.eu delivers more value at one-sixth the cost.
