DeepL is better than Google Translate for the languages it supports. I find that it captures the context better when words have multiple meanings. Some features are paid, for example, translating a text to an informal context (Sie vs du in German).

It does not support as many languages as Google, though. Most European languages are supported.

Between DeepL and Wiktionary, I find I don't even need Google Translate anymore.

Aren't many of the mainstream offers terrible as well, in their own special way?

DeepL is a good translator, though it has a more limited set of supported languages

I wonder why you think so. Some like Peertube & Threema are definitely poor alternatives but I wouldn't say it's "almost all" either.

Deezer vs Apple Music/Tidal: Deezer has a great selection of music and recommendation algorithm. I've never used Tidal but Deezer is definitely better than Apple Music IMO.
Tuta/Mailbox.org/Posteo vs Gmail: Well, they all let you send and receive emails. Unless you're an enterprise user, I don't see what advantage Gmail would have over the others.
HERE WeGo vs Google Maps: Very recently installed HERE and didn't have any issues so far. This can be a bit location-dependent though.
Ecosia vs Google: Ecosia uses Bing/Google^1^ as its search index anyway, so the results are almost exactly the same for me.
DeepL Translate vs Google Translate: DeepL has a more limited selection of languages but for the languages it supports, it's the undisputed king.
Bolt vs Uber: I only used Bolt a few times while I was in Portugal and it seemed fine. Maybe this is also location-dependent.

^1^I think it's Bing by default but you can configure it to use Google in the settings.

Not at all.

Of course you would disagree, you're promoting them.

But I will be more than happy to replace them or add alternative in the next iteration of the infographic. What apps would you recommend?

I would reccommend further development.

And as we arm the continent for war once more, as the US commits to isolationism and NATO abandonment, we might as well disregard any copyright issues preventing the implementation of important features. So while we might lose everything, we might finally get decent European elternatives for a brief period.
