Compare · GreenPT vs Copilot

A cleaner, safer, EU-hosted alternative to Copilot.

Copilot lives inside Microsoft 365. GreenPT lives on European infrastructure, on renewable energy, with the data control your compliance team wants.

For organisations that run on Microsoft 365 but don't want their data routed through global Azure pipelines, GreenPT is the European alternative that still covers reasoning, code, documents, and voice.

The case

Why choose GreenPT over Copilot?

Copilot is convenient inside Word, Excel, and Teams. The convenience comes with a global Azure footprint and an energy mix that isn't published per service. GreenPT publishes the numbers.

  • Hosted on European infrastructure, in France

  • Inputs never used to train the underlying models

  • Verified 100% renewable energy

  • Independent PUE and WUE in line with EU benchmarks

  • Works alongside Microsoft 365, no Azure tenancy required

Frequently asked questions

Is GreenPT a good alternative to Microsoft Copilot?

Yes, especially if you use Microsoft 365 but want stricter data control. Copilot runs on global Azure infrastructure; GreenPT runs on European infrastructure in France and works alongside Microsoft 365 without requiring an Azure tenancy.

How is GreenPT more sustainable than Copilot?

GreenPT runs on verified 100% renewable energy and publishes independent PUE and WUE metrics in line with EU benchmarks. Microsoft does not publish a per-service energy mix or efficiency metrics for Copilot, so its footprint cannot be independently verified.

Where is my data processed with GreenPT versus Copilot?

GreenPT processes all data inside the EU and never uses it to train models. With Copilot, data handling depends on your Microsoft tenant region and configuration, and runs across global Azure infrastructure rather than a guaranteed European boundary.

How much does GreenPT cost compared to Copilot Pro?

GreenPT starts at €4.50 per month with API access and €17.50 per month for unlimited prompts. Copilot Pro is around $20 per month. GreenPT adds a 14-day free trial with no credit card and EU hosting from the first prompt.
