Langdock alternative: novendix.AI and Langdock in an honest comparison
Langdock from Berlin is one of the best-known AI platforms for businesses in Germany – and rightly so. People looking for an alternative usually want to know whether a smaller provider with hosting in Germany and personal support is a better fit for their own mid-sized company. This comparison covers both sides, with sources and a date.
Two platforms, a similar idea
Both providers bring language models from different vendors together under one interface, with rights management, custom assistants or agents, and connections to company systems. The differences lie in target group, size and framework conditions.
Langdock
AI platform of Langdock GmbH, Berlin. Chat and agents, workflows as an add-on module, API billed by tokens. Business plan for up to 1,000 users, Enterprise above that; own deployment in the cloud or in the customer’s data centre possible.
novendix.AI
AI platform of novendix GmbH, Schwabach, part of the L&S group of companies. 19 language models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Mistral, custom agents, workflows, connection to ERP and CRM. Designed for companies with 20 to 250 employees.
Common ground
Both exclude training models on customer data, offer a data processing agreement and operate their platform in Europe. Both can be tested free of charge before purchase.

When Langdock is the better choice
An alternative is not automatically better. In these cases there is a lot to be said for Langdock:
- You need the provider to hold its own certificate. Langdock is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type 2 audited. If your procurement or compliance requirements make this mandatory, novendix does not meet them today – our own ISMS is being set up.
- You are equipping thousands of workstations. Langdock has volume pricing up to more than 1,000 seats, an Enterprise plan and the option of running the platform in your own cloud.
- You automate on a large scale. Langdock’s workflow module is designed for tens of thousands of runs per month and is billed separately.
For large corporations with their own IT security organisation, Langdock is often the obvious choice. We would rather say so before the trial than after it.
When novendix.AI is the better fit
- You are a mid-sized company with 20 to 250 employees. This is exactly what novendix is built for: from one user, no minimum term, with onboarding and training from one source.
- You want the platform in Germany. novendix.AI runs in a German data centre, not just somewhere in the EU. Where data can leave the EU is set out openly on Privacy and security.
- You want a contact person instead of a support portal. A dedicated personal contact from Middle Franconia, on-site meetings in Schwabach, Nuremberg and Weißenburg or at your premises.
- Your AI should know your own systems. Custom connection to ERP, CRM, SQL databases and your own MCP servers.
- You are a law firm or tax advisory firm. Confidentiality under § 203 German Criminal Code (StGB) is governed by contract. More on AI for law and tax firms.
