The Blooom alternative
Blooom (blooom.nl) is a Dutch coaching platform with a broad administrative feature set. Exantur is a European alternative that goes deeper on the coaching work itself, structured session notes, accountability and between-session check-ins, while keeping data in the EU.
This is an honest comparison. Both are Dutch and EU-oriented; the right choice depends on whether you weigh administrative breadth or coaching depth more.
Where Exantur is different
Exantur structures the coaching work: session notes split across observations, insights, breakthroughs and action points; accountability commitments tracked across sessions; and configurable between-session check-ins. Data is hosted in the EU (Frankfurt) with row-level security, MFA and a DPA. It also includes assessments (DISC, Wheel of Life).
Where they overlap
Both are Dutch coaching platforms that keep client data in Europe and give clients a portal, intake forms and client management. Blooom publicly lists online scheduling, invoicing, digital contracts and AI session summaries, so if your priority is one tool that also handles booking and billing, Blooom covers more of that admin surface.

An honest note
Exantur has no native scheduling, invoicing or digital contracts; it focuses on the coaching practice and expects you to handle booking and payments elsewhere. Blooom markets time savings on admin; that is their own claim, not a measured Exantur result.
How to decide
Choose Exantur if structured notes, accountability, between-session check-ins and strict EU data protection matter most, and you are comfortable scheduling and invoicing elsewhere. Choose Blooom if you want one Dutch tool that also handles booking, invoicing and contracts. Both keep data in Europe; this is a question of depth versus breadth, not of one being universally better.
