Needs review
Shortlist reeqee when a DACH team needs German natural-language queries on CSV/XLSX with local row processing and an EU LLM that only receives schema. Skip when you need a full spreadsheet suite, server-side warehouse analytics, independent security audits, or consumer licensing. Consider Microsoft 365 Excel or Google Workspace for authoring, and LibreOffice or Nextcloud for European office/file workflows that are not text-to-SQL.

reeqee
German text-to-SQL on CSV and XLSX
Users upload CSV or Excel, ask in everyday German, and receive a generated SQL query plus a result table. Aimed at accountants and SME staff who will not write SQL or complex formulas.
Local DuckDB-WASM execution
Row data is processed in the browser with DuckDB-WASM according to the vendor. Analysis does not require uploading table contents to reeqee servers, which helps with sensitive DATEV or bank exports.
Schema-only Mistral EU calls
The privacy policy states that only the question and column names go to Mistral AI SAS in France for SQL generation and suggested questions. Cell values are excluded from that path.
Multi-file join and export
Paid workflows include linking multiple files or sheets with column matching, then exporting results as Excel or CSV. Plan limits differ between single-file and multi-file tiers.
Offline-style CSV/Excel converter
A separate converter turns files between XLSX, XLS, ODS, and CSV variants entirely in the browser without calling the AI, useful for UTF-8 and delimiter fixes.
| Assurance & compliance | LibreOffice | reeqee |

| ISO 27001 | Non indiqué | Not found |

| US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative) | Non indiqué | Partial EU sole trader, no known US parent, published processors are EU (Hetzner, Mistral, Mollie). Residual risk from possible US-operated client CDN (jsdelivr in CSP) and unpublished backup/DR. Indicative only, not legal advice. |
| Data processing agreement (B2B) | Non indiqué | Vendor claimed AGB §10 state parties conclude an Art. 28 DPA when the provider processes personal data on the customer's behalf. Confirm execution in procurement. |
| EU AI Act | Non indiqué | Not found Product is AI-assisted (Mistral text-to-SQL). No public AI Act classification or conformity statement found on the site. |
| Considerations & known limitations | LibreOffice | reeqee |
|---|---|---|
| AI SQL can be wrong | Non indiqué | High AGB disclaim correctness of generated SQL and results. Customers must validate before tax, accounting, or business decisions. Practical impact: treat outputs as assistive, keep human review of the shown SQL. |
| Questions and SQL are logged | Non indiqué | Medium Privacy policy stores question text, generated SQL, success flag, and timestamp. Even if row data stays local, question text may itself be sensitive. Object via hello@reeqee.de per the policy. |
| No public independent audit | Non indiqué | Medium Local-processing and schema-only AI claims are first-party. No ISO 27001, SOC 2, or public security audit was found. High-assurance buyers will need contractual evidence and technical due diligence. |
| Sole-trader operator scale | Non indiqué | Medium Legal entity is a Berlin sole trader, not a GmbH with published certs or status page. Fine for many SME tools; weaker for enterprises that need vendor risk tiers, SLA percentages, or succession guarantees. |
| Renewal wording inconsistency | Non indiqué | Low Pricing page text and AGB renewal clauses have differed on automatic extension. Confirm the signed terms before budgeting renewals. |

Poor fit when
Non indiqué
reeqee
Best fit when
- German-speaking accounting, tax, controlling, or SME operators querying CSV/XLSX exports without SQL skills
- Teams that want row data to stay in the browser and only send schema plus questions to an EU LLM
- Buyers who need a narrow analysis tool beside Excel/DATEV exports rather than a full office suite
- Organisations that prefer German-law B2B contracting with Berlin-based sole-trader operation and Hetzner DE hosting
Poor fit when
- Teams that need collaborative spreadsheet authoring, macros, or a full Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace replacement
- Workloads that require server-side data warehouses, scheduled pipelines, or multi-tenant governed datasets
- Buyers that require ISO 27001, SOC 2, or an independent no-logs/security audit before shortlisting
- Consumer or personal use cases (AGB limit the offer to entrepreneurs and public-law entities)
Consider instead when
When: You need a full European spreadsheet client for creating and editing workbooks offline
Consider: LibreOffice
LibreOffice is an office suite, not a text-to-SQL assistant.
When: You need EU file sync, sharing, and office collaboration rather than ad hoc CSV questioning
Consider: Nextcloud
Complementary stack: store in Nextcloud, analyse exports in reeqee if the AI path fits.
When: Analysts already live in Excel/Sheets and only need formulas, Power Query, or pivot tables
Consider: Microsoft 365 Excel or Google Workspace Sheets
Stay in the incumbent suite if natural-language German querying is not the bottleneck.
Open questions for due diligence
LibreOffice
Non indiqué
reeqee
- Will the vendor sign a customer DPA and provide a complete subprocessor list including backup/DR?
- Is there an independent review of the browser build proving row data never leaves the client?
- Which exact Mistral model/endpoint is used, and how are prompt logs retained on Mistral's side?
- Which renewal and cancellation terms govern paid plans when pricing page and AGB wording diverge?
- Are there documented row/size limits for DuckDB-WASM on typical office laptops?
