European Alternatives to Alteryx
Looking for a European alternative to Alteryx? Alteryx, Inc. is headquartered in Irvine, California, and its master license agreement is governed by California law with the courts of Orange County for customers in the Americas, while customers elsewhere contract with Alteryx UK Ltd in London under English law.
Eleven European tools cover the job, from visual data-preparation workbenches for analysts to managed pipelines and automation platforms, from companies in Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Belgium and Denmark, with a free tier, free edition or trial at most of them.
How we rank these tools — 4-step process
-
1
European ownership, verified
The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA or Switzerland, and processes customer data in Europe. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.
-
2
Category fit and hands-on review
What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.
-
3
Compliance and pricing check
GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.
-
4
Position on this page
Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. It never buys a good review: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.
Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Paid placement can affect which tools appear here and the order they appear in. Editorial policy

- KNIME (Zürich) is the closest in shape: a free, open-source desktop workflow tool, with KNIME Hub from 19 a month for team features.
- Easy Data Transform (UK) sells a one-time licence from €90, with a free trial, for analysts who want a lighter desktop tool.
- Keboola (Prague) offers a free plan with real compute, hosted on Microsoft Azure in the EU, under Czech law.
- Rulex (Italy) and Omniscope (UK) publish prices for no-code analytics and data preparation, while Peliqan, Y42, Weld, CloverDX and TimeXtender are aimed at data engineering teams.
- Several contracts could not be fully checked: the governing law of KNIME, Rulex, Peliqan and TimeXtender, and the Omniscope contracting entity, are marked as unverified below.
Why people leave Alteryx
Alteryx is the tool analysts reach for when a spreadsheet stops being enough.
You drag tools onto a canvas to blend files and databases, clean and reshape them, run statistics or machine learning, and publish the result, and the same workflow can be scheduled to run again. Its pricing page lists a Starter Edition at $250 per user per month billed annually (cloud only, 1 to 10 users, 50 automation runs), with Professional and Enterprise editions sold through sales and 15,000 automation runs included, and a 30-day free trial.
The contract depends on where you are. Alteryx's Master License Agreement (version 2025-01) has two contracting parties. Customers in North or South America contract with Alteryx, Inc. under California law with the courts of Orange County.
Customers anywhere else contract with Alteryx UK Ltd in London under the law of England and Wales with the courts of London. So a European customer signs with a British company, which sits outside the EU, and the privacy policy names Alteryx, Inc. in Irvine as the data controller.
That is a narrower point than "American software", and this page does not claim more. If a British contracting party, English courts and a US controller are acceptable to you, Alteryx works.
If you want a contracting party in the EU, the EEA or Switzerland, or you want an option that runs on your own machine, the eleven tools below are alternatives from Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Germany, Italy, Belgium and Denmark. They are not interchangeable: some are visual tools for analysts, some are pipelines for data engineers.
- The contracting party is outside the EU For customers outside the Americas, Alteryx contracts through Alteryx UK Ltd under English law with the courts of London, and the parent in California is the controller named in the privacy policy. The DPA relies on Standard Contractual Clauses for transfers. That is a workable arrangement, but it is a chain of non-EU parties. Most tools here put an EU, EEA or Swiss company on the contract instead.
- The entry price is steep for one analyst The published Starter Edition costs $250 per user per month on annual billing, which is $3,000 a year for one seat, and the higher editions are quote-only. KNIME's desktop tool is free and open source, Easy Data Transform is a one-time purchase from €90, Omniscope has a free non-commercial edition, and Keboola and n8n have free or low-cost starting points.
- Not every alternative does the same job Alteryx is a desktop-first analytics workbench. KNIME, Easy Data Transform, Omniscope and Rulex are the closest in shape: visual workflows for people who are not software engineers. Keboola, Peliqan, Y42, Weld and TimeXtender are pipeline and warehouse tools, and n8n is an automation engine. Pick by who will build the workflows, not by the category label.
- Your workflows live in a proprietary format Alteryx workflows cannot be opened by another tool, so no alternative imports them. KNIME is open source and runs on your own computer, and CloverDX and Omniscope can run on your own servers, which keeps the workflow definitions under your control once you have rebuilt them.
What you have to replace, not just match
List your workflows by what they do: which sources they read, what they clean or join, what statistics or models they apply, and where the result goes. A workflow that merges three spreadsheets and writes a report moves easily to KNIME, Easy Data Transform or Omniscope. A scheduled workflow that feeds a dashboard may be better served by a pipeline tool such as Keboola or Peliqan, and one that mostly calls other systems by API fits n8n.
Rebuild before you cancel. Pick the three workflows that matter most, rebuild them in the new tool, and compare the output row by row against the Alteryx result. Keep the old licence running until the rebuilt versions have produced the same numbers for at least one reporting cycle, and note which Alteryx tools (spatial, predictive, reporting) have no direct equivalent.

How each alternative compares to Alteryx
KNIME
the closest in shape to Alteryx, free on the desktop
Best for: Analysts who want visual data preparation and analysis workflows without paying per seat
KNIME AG is a Swiss company at Talacker 50 in Zürich (UID CHE-114.324.774), named in the imprint as the operator of the website. Its privacy notice lists KNIME GmbH in Konstanz, Germany, as the EU representative and also names KNIME Inc., with the three companies sharing processors under a joint controller agreement. The governing law of its commercial terms could not be checked, because the terms page returned an error.
KNIME Analytics Platform is free and open source, and runs on your desktop. The paid side is KNIME Hub: Pro from 19 a month with 120 workflow runtime credits, Team from 99 a month for three team members, and Business Hub on request. Extra runtime is billed at $0.025 per vCore minute.
It is a workflow tool in the same spirit as Alteryx, so analysts rebuilding a workflow will find the same logic of connected nodes. Switzerland is outside the EU and EEA, so the arrangement rests on Swiss adequacy rules.
What KNIME does better than Alteryx
- Free and open-source desktop edition, where Alteryx Starter costs $250 per user per month
- Published prices for Pro and Team on a server-rendered page
- Runs locally, so data does not have to leave your machine
- Named EU representative in Germany for privacy purposes
Where KNIME is a step down from Alteryx
- Governing law of the commercial terms could not be verified
- Switzerland is outside the EU and EEA
- Group includes a US company (KNIME Inc.) as a joint controller
- Less polished for reporting and spatial analysis than Alteryx
Standout against Alteryx. It is the only tool here where the full desktop product is free and open source.
Easy Data Transform
a lighter desktop tool for cleaning and joining data, bought once
Best for: Individual analysts who clean, merge and reshape files and do not need servers or scheduling
The product is sold by Oryx Digital Ltd. Its terms are governed by English law, with the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. The terms give no registered address or company number, so the entity could not be checked in a register for this page.
It is desktop software for Windows and Mac that does data wrangling without code: its homepage lists 70-plus operations including joins, pivots, de-duplication and reshaping, with real-time feedback as you build. It reads and writes Excel, CSV, JSON, XML, YAML and several other formats.
The price is a one-time fee from $99, €90 or £75 plus tax, not a subscription, with a free trial that needs no email address and a 60-day money-back guarantee. It does not claim machine learning, a server or scheduling, so it covers the preparation half of what Alteryx does.
What Easy Data Transform does better than Alteryx
- One-time price from €90 against a $250 monthly seat
- Free trial with no email address and a 60-day refund window
- Data stays on your own computer
- Simple enough to learn in an afternoon
Where Easy Data Transform is a step down from Alteryx
- No server, scheduling or team collaboration described on its homepage
- No statistics, spatial or machine-learning tools
- Company number and address could not be verified
- The UK is outside the EU, and English law applies
Standout against Alteryx. It is the only tool here you pay for once instead of by subscription.
Keboola
a Prague data platform with a genuinely usable free plan
- Which law reaches it. EU (Czech Republic). Alteryx is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Multi-cloud on AWS, Azure and Google Cloud; free-plan projects run on Microsoft Azure in the EU, and enterprise contracts can pin the provider, the region or a private cloud.
- Source code. Closed source, as Alteryx is.
- Independently checked. SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and HIPAA, listed against the Enterprise tier.
Best for: Teams that want extraction, SQL or Python transformation and scheduling in one hosted platform
Keboola's Free plan terms are an agreement with Keboola Czech s.r.o., governed by Czech law with Czech courts. Its privacy policy shows a group structure: Keboola Czech s.r.o. in Prague, Keboola LLC in Chicago and Keboola Data Services, Inc. in British Columbia, with the controller depending on which entity signs your contract.
The pricing page lists a Free plan at $0 with no credit card: one project, SQL and Python transformations, Flow Builder, 1,500-plus data sources, 120 free compute minutes in the first month and 60 a month after. Extra minutes are $0.14. Free projects are hosted on Microsoft Azure in the EU. Enterprise pricing is on request and adds SOC 2 Type II, SSO and a choice of storage backend.
It is more of a platform than a workbench, so analysts used to dragging tools onto a canvas will need to adapt to SQL and Python.
What Keboola does better than Alteryx
- A free plan with real compute, where Alteryx offers only a trial
- Free projects hosted in the EU on Azure
- Czech law and Czech courts in the free-plan terms
- Transformation, orchestration and extraction in one place
Where Keboola is a step down from Alteryx
- Free plan supports SQL and Python only, with no data catalog
- Group includes US and Canadian entities, and the contracting one decides your controller
- Compute-minute billing is harder to predict than a seat price
- Less suited to analysts who do not write code
Standout against Alteryx. It is the only hosted platform here with a free plan that includes recurring compute minutes.
- Which law reaches it. EU (Germany). Alteryx is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Your own servers, or EU cloud.
- Source code. Open source, where Alteryx is not: you can read what it does rather than take the description on trust.
- Independently checked. Source-available (Sustainable Use Licence).
Best for: Technical teams that automate data movement between systems and want to self-host
n8n GmbH is at Novalisstr. 10 in Berlin, registered at the Amtsgericht Charlottenburg as HRB 212509 B. Its self-serve terms are an odd mix for a German company: they are governed by the laws of England and Wales, with the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of London, although consumers keep mandatory local rights.
The pricing page lists Cloud plans billed annually: Starter at €20 a month for 2,500 workflow executions, Pro at €50 for 10,000, and Business at €667 for 40,000, with unlimited users and workflows on all plans. The Business plan is self-hosted. A Community Edition of n8n is available to self-host from GitHub.
It does not do the analyst work of statistics, spatial analysis or report building, so it replaces only the scheduled workflows that connect systems.
What n8n does better than Alteryx
- Self-hosting option with a Community Edition from GitHub
- Cloud pricing based on executions, not seats
- German GmbH with a published commercial register entry
- Unlimited users and workflows on every plan
Where n8n is a step down from Alteryx
- Terms are under English law with London courts, not German law
- Not a data-preparation or statistics workbench
- Licence terms of the Community Edition were not verified
- Aimed at technical users rather than analysts
Standout against Alteryx. It is the only tool here priced by workflow executions, with unlimited users.
Rulex
an Italian no-code platform for data preparation, machine learning and rules
Best for: Analysts who want explainable machine learning and rule-based logic with published prices
Rulex S.r.l. is an Italian company; its privacy policy footer gives the EU VAT ID IT01715910996. Its postal address and the governing law of its terms could not be retrieved, so only the VAT number is cited.
The platform covers data orchestration and quality, explainable machine learning, business rule engines, workflow automation and optimisation. Pricing is published: Factory Lite at €95 a month or €995 a year (limited to 10 million data cells), Factory Personal at €540 a month or €5,900 a year with unlimited data, and Studio Personal at €1,300 a year for dashboards. A Factory Personal trial is offered.
Prices apply to purchases through the Rulex Community Store. Multiple licences and Enterprise need a sales conversation.
What Rulex does better than Alteryx
- Public prices from €95 a month, where Alteryx Professional is quote-only
- Machine learning that is described as explainable
- Italian company with an EU VAT ID
- Includes a rules engine and optimisation solvers
Where Rulex is a step down from Alteryx
- Address and governing law could not be verified
- Lite is capped at 10 million data cells
- Smaller community and fewer connectors than Alteryx
- Studio dashboards are priced separately
Standout against Alteryx. It pairs data preparation with a business-rules engine and optimisation solvers.
Peliqan
a Ghent all-in-one data platform with a sovereign cloud option
- Which law reaches it. EU (Belgium). Alteryx is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. SaaS with optional private-cloud deployment on Kubernetes; a single-tenant Private Sovereign Cloud on certified European sovereign infrastructure adds region-locked storage and zero data egress.
- Source code. Closed source, as Alteryx is.
- Independently checked. ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2 Type II, GDPR.
Best for: Teams that want pipelines, a built-in warehouse and data apps without buying a separate warehouse
Peliqan BV is at Grauwpoort 1 in Ghent, Belgium, with enterprise number BE0784446918, according to its privacy policy. The terms of service could not be retrieved, so the governing law is not verified.
The pricing page lists Connect at €75 a month per data source (up to 500K rows), PRO at €500 a month for up to 10 sources and 10 users (up to 5M rows), and Enterprise on request. All plans have a 14-day trial with no credit card. It has a built-in data warehouse or connects to Snowflake, Fabric and BigQuery, and Enterprise offers a private sovereign cloud, on-premises or private-cloud deployment.
It is built for people who can write SQL or low-code Python, and it overlaps with a warehouse and BI tool you may already own.
What Peliqan does better than Alteryx
- Belgian company with a published enterprise number
- Sovereign-cloud and on-premises options on Enterprise
- Built-in warehouse, so no separate purchase to start
- Public prices and a no-card trial
Where Peliqan is a step down from Alteryx
- Governing law could not be verified
- Priced per data source and per row limit, not per seat
- Not a desktop workbench for analysts
- Default hosting for the standard plans is not described on the pricing page
Standout against Alteryx. It offers a single-tenant sovereign cloud as an orderable option.
Omniscope
data preparation, workflows and dashboards in one workbench, with a free edition
Best for: Analysts who want to prepare data and build dashboards in the same tool, on their own infrastructure if needed
The site names Visokio Ltd, with addresses in St Helier, Jersey, and at 33 Cavendish Square in London. Companies House lists Visokio (UK) Limited, number 04580403, active, at the London address. The Terms of Use and privacy policy name only "Visokio Ltd" and do not give a number, governing law or court, so which entity you contract with could not be verified.
Omniscope connects, prepares, analyses and visualises data, and its homepage lists ML blocks, Python and R scripts, REST APIs and scheduled workflows. It can run in your cloud or on premises. The pricing page lists Free at £0 (non-commercial, 3 projects, 10,000 records), Pro at £59 per seat per month on annual billing, Business at £99 per editor and £30 per viewer, and Enterprise on request. Workflow automation is an add-on at £305 (Pro) or £735 (Business) a month.
The Free edition cannot be used commercially, so a business needs Pro or above from day one.
What Omniscope does better than Alteryx
- Free edition and public prices on one page
- Can run in your own cloud or on premises
- Combines data preparation and dashboards in one product
- UK-registered company in Companies House
Where Omniscope is a step down from Alteryx
- Contracting entity, governing law and courts could not be verified
- Free edition is non-commercial and limited to 10,000 records
- Automation is an extra monthly charge
- The UK and Jersey are outside the EU
Standout against Alteryx. It combines data preparation and dashboards, with a free edition and a self-hosting option.
Y42
pipelines with Git branches and pull requests, from Berlin
- Which law reaches it. EU (Germany). Alteryx is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Source code. Closed source, as Alteryx is.
- Independently checked. GDPR; no security certification published on the pages checked.
Best for: Data teams that want to review pipeline changes the way they review code
Y42 GmbH is at Seydelstr. 10A in Berlin, registered at the Amtsgericht Charlottenburg as HRB 276302 B, and its terms of service are governed by German law. The imprint and the terms on the site are both dated October 2022, so they are older than the other documents cited here.
The pricing page lists a Business plan at $500 a month with 2 spaces and 3 users, including a browser UI, a code IDE, a declarative orchestrator, Git and warehouse integrations, and SQL, dbt and Python support. Ingestion starts at $15 per million rows. Enterprise adds pull requests for data developers, time travel for data, SSO and audit logging. A free trial is mentioned.
The pages checked do not say where customer data is hosted.
What Y42 does better than Alteryx
- Commercial-register entry and German law in the terms
- Git-style review of pipeline changes
- SQL, dbt and Python in a single orchestrator
- Ingestion priced separately, so you can bring your own
Where Y42 is a step down from Alteryx
- Hosting location for customer data is not stated
- $500 a month for only three users
- Aimed at data engineers, not at analysts
- Legal pages date from 2022
Standout against Alteryx. It treats a pipeline change like a code change, with branches and pull requests.
Weld
a Danish managed ELT service with one clear contracting party
- Which law reaches it. EU (Denmark). Alteryx is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. EU hosting options with Frankfurt preferred for EU customers; processing is ephemeral and customer data is not retained beyond the sync.
- Source code. Closed source, as Alteryx is.
- Independently checked. SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001.
Best for: Analytics teams that want data loaded into a warehouse and modelled in SQL
Weld Technologies ApS is a private limited company registered in Denmark under number 41978104. Its terms of service, last updated 8 September 2026, name Danish law as the governing law, and the page lists the DPA, SLA and an EU Data Act addendum alongside them.
Prices on its pricing page: Basic from $99 a month (2 connectors, 1 user, 5M monthly active rows), Premium from $389 (6 connectors, 3 users, 10M rows), Business from $959 (10 connectors, 5 users, 50M rows), all with annual billing, plus Enterprise on request. Extra users are $19 a month. Every plan includes an AI SQL editor, and there is a 14-day trial.
It moves and models data, but it does not have a visual canvas for analysts, so it replaces the load-and-transform half of an Alteryx workflow.
What Weld does better than Alteryx
- A single Danish contracting entity under Danish law
- Public prices and a 14-day trial
- AI-assisted SQL editor in every plan
- Terms updated in September 2026
Where Weld is a step down from Alteryx
- Basic covers only two connectors and one user
- Pricing by monthly active rows is hard to forecast
- No visual workflow canvas for analysts
- Priced in US dollars
Standout against Alteryx. The terms name one Danish company and Danish law, with no second jurisdiction.
- Which law reaches it. EU (Czech Republic). Alteryx is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Self-hosted only — CloverDX runs entirely inside the customer's own AWS, Azure or Google Cloud account, or fully on-premise; CloverDX itself never stores or transmits customer data.
- Source code. Closed source, as Alteryx is.
Best for: Engineering teams that want to run data integration on their own infrastructure
CloverDX is best known as a Czech product, but the contract is not Czech. Its EULA (version 3.8) names Javlin Ltd (company number 08213115), trading as CloverDX, at Oakhurst House in Tunbridge Wells, England, as the licensor for licensees in the United Kingdom and the European Union, with disputes settled by ICC arbitration in London. Elsewhere, the licensor is CloverDX Inc. in Arlington, Virginia, under Virginia law.
It is a visual designer for building data pipelines, deployed on your own servers or cloud accounts, so CloverDX does not hold your data. We did not find a public price list on the pages checked, and no amount is quoted here.
It is a developer-oriented integration engine rather than a tool for analysts, and it has no statistics or spatial tools.
What CloverDX does better than Alteryx
- Runs on infrastructure you control
- EU licensees contract with a UK company, not with the US one
- Visual pipeline designer with scripting for engineers
- Separate EU-facing terms in the EULA
Where CloverDX is a step down from Alteryx
- No public price list
- EU contracts run through a UK company with arbitration in London
- Built for engineers, not analysts
- A US entity sits alongside the UK one in the EULA
Standout against Alteryx. It is the only tool here whose EULA has separate licensor entities for EU and non-EU customers.
TimeXtender
an Aarhus data integration and preparation platform with published enterprise prices
- Which law reaches it. EU (Denmark). Alteryx is run from the United States, so the CLOUD Act obliges the provider to hand over data on a valid order regardless of which country the servers are in.
- Where the data sits. Customer-chosen deployment targets (SQL Server, Azure, Fabric, Snowflake, AWS).
- Source code. Closed source, as Alteryx is.
Best for: Data teams in larger organisations that build governed data products on Microsoft, AWS or Snowflake
TimeXtender A/S is at Mariane Thomsens Gade 4B in Aarhus, Denmark (VAT DK29216711), and is named as the data controller in its privacy notice. Customer licence terms could not be found on the pages checked, so the governing law is not verified.
Its site describes metadata-driven data integration and preparation with lineage, data quality controls and a semantic layer, deployed across Azure, AWS, Snowflake, SQL Server and Fabric. The pricing page lists annual subscriptions: Starter at €34,000, Standard at €45,000, Premium at €76,000 and Enterprise at €150,000.
It is the most expensive and most enterprise-oriented tool here, and it replaces the data-engineering side of Alteryx, not the analyst canvas.
What TimeXtender does better than Alteryx
- Danish company with a published VAT number and address
- Annual prices published on the pricing page
- Lineage and data quality controls built in
- Works with Azure, AWS, Snowflake and SQL Server
Where TimeXtender is a step down from Alteryx
- Starts at €34,000 a year, far above an Alteryx seat
- Customer terms and governing law could not be found
- Built for data teams, not for individual analysts
- No free tier or trial found on the pricing page
Standout against Alteryx. It publishes four annual enterprise price points, from €34,000 to €150,000.
What actually breaks when you switch
Alteryx workflows cannot be exported to another tool, so every migration is a rebuild. Keep your Alteryx licence until the rebuilt workflows have produced matching results for a full reporting cycle, and write down any step (spatial analysis, predictive tools, report layouts) that has no direct equivalent.
The alternatives split into analyst workbenches and engineering pipelines. Moving a team of analysts to a SQL-first pipeline tool will cause friction even if the price is lower, so pick the group that matches who builds the workflows.
Check prices in the currency you will pay. Several tools here are priced in dollars or pounds (Weld, Y42, Keboola, Omniscope), and Alteryx quotes in US dollars, so convert before you compare.
Which of these works most like Alteryx?
KNIME is the nearest: you build a workflow of nodes on a canvas, with data blending, cleaning, statistics and machine learning in the same tool, and the desktop version is free. Omniscope and Rulex also offer visual, no-code workflows, and Easy Data Transform covers the data-wrangling part with 70-plus drag-and-drop operations.
None copies the whole Alteryx feature set. Spatial tools, the predictive toolset and report-building differ in each, so test one real workflow before you commit.
Which have a free way to try them?
KNIME Analytics Platform is free and open source. Keboola has a Free plan with one project and 60 compute minutes a month after the first month. Omniscope has a Free edition for non-commercial use, limited to 3 projects and 10,000 records. Easy Data Transform has a free trial with no email address, Peliqan and Weld offer trials of 14 days, and Rulex offers a Factory Personal trial. n8n has a self-hostable Community Edition and a cloud trial.
Y42, CloverDX and TimeXtender are sold more directly to teams. Y42 mentions a free trial, and TimeXtender publishes annual subscription prices starting at €34,000.
Which are for analysts, and which for data engineers?
KNIME, Easy Data Transform, Omniscope and Rulex are built for analysts and business users. Keboola, Peliqan, Weld, Y42, CloverDX and TimeXtender expect SQL, scheduling and warehouse skills, with Y42 going furthest in treating pipelines like code with Git branches and pull requests. n8n sits in the middle: a visual editor, but aimed at technical teams.
If your Alteryx users are finance or operations analysts, start with the first group. If the workflows already feed a warehouse, the second group is the better fit.
Does the contract matter for an analytics tool?
It matters when workflows touch personal or regulated data, because the contracting party, the controller and the place where data is processed determine which rules and courts apply. With Alteryx, European customers contract with a British entity and the privacy policy names a US controller. With KNIME the contracting entity is Swiss, with Weld it is Danish, with Y42 and n8n it is a German GmbH, and with Keboola's free plan it is a Czech company under Czech law.
For tools that run on your own computer or servers, the point is smaller, because your data does not go to the vendor at all. That applies to KNIME on the desktop, Easy Data Transform, CloverDX and, optionally, Omniscope.
Which one to pick
For analysts leaving Alteryx, start with KNIME: it is the closest in shape, free on the desktop, and from a Swiss company. If the work is mostly cleaning and joining files, Easy Data Transform is a cheaper one-time purchase, and Omniscope or Rulex fit if you also want dashboards or machine learning with published prices.
If the workflows feed a warehouse, Keboola and Peliqan offer hosted platforms with a free plan or trial, and Weld, Y42, CloverDX and TimeXtender suit engineering teams with different trade-offs on price and hosting. n8n is the pick for scheduled, integration-heavy automation.
Be realistic about the gap. None of the eleven imports Alteryx workflows, none matches its spatial and predictive toolsets in full, and several contracts could not be fully checked. Switch if you want a contracting party in the EU, the EEA or Switzerland and a lower entry price, and keep Alteryx if your workflows depend on tools with no equivalent.

No. Alteryx, Inc. is headquartered in Irvine, California, and is the data controller in its privacy policy. Under the Master License Agreement, customers outside North and South America contract with Alteryx UK Ltd in London, under English law, and the United Kingdom is not in the EU.

CloverDX has Czech roots, but its EULA (version 3.8) names Javlin Ltd, trading as CloverDX, in Tunbridge Wells, England, as the licensor for licensees in the United Kingdom and the European Union, with ICC arbitration in London. Licensees elsewhere contract with CloverDX Inc. in Arlington, Virginia, under Virginia law. It runs on your own infrastructure, so your data stays with you.
KNIME desktop, Easy Data Transform, CloverDX and Omniscope can run on your own machines or servers. Keboola's Free plan is hosted on Microsoft Azure in the EU, Peliqan offers a private sovereign cloud on the Enterprise plan, and n8n can be self-hosted. Y42 does not state where customer data is hosted on the pages checked, so ask before you buy.
No. Alteryx workflows are specific to its own engine, and none of these tools reads them. You rebuild each workflow, which is also a chance to drop steps nobody uses. Start with the three that run most often and compare outputs before you switch the rest.
Only for the automation side. n8n runs workflows that move data between systems, call APIs and trigger actions, with a self-hostable Community Edition and cloud plans priced by workflow executions. It is not a data-preparation workbench with statistics and spatial tools, so it replaces the scheduled, integration-heavy Alteryx workflows rather than the analyst canvas.
KNIME Analytics Platform is described on its pricing page as free and open source. n8n makes a self-hosted Community Edition available on GitHub, but we did not verify its licence terms, so check them before relying on it. The others are commercial products.
