LOX24: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

LOX24 is an SMS service from LOX24 GmbH in Berlin. It provides an SMS gateway for sending and receiving messages through a web interface, an SSL-encrypted HTTP API or an email interface. Further functions include bulk SMS and SMS marketing with click tracking, calendar reminders for Google Calendar and Outlook, inbound SMS, two-factor authentication by SMS and voice call, an anti-fraud check with scoring, and an MCP SMS server. The vendor says PINs sent for two-factor authentication can be deleted directly after transmission. The service is delivered as SaaS and API.

LOX24 GmbH is registered in Berlin, Germany, and the website names no parent company. The vendor advertises German data protection and states that its anti-fraud service is GDPR-compatible with a German location. The sources consulted do not name the hosting location for the rest of the service, so organisations should confirm it with the vendor. The software is proprietary and not open source, and it can only be used as a service run by the vendor.

Why digital sovereignty matters with LOX24

LOX24 is headquartered in DE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so LOX24 scores best on data residency.

LOX24 is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs LOX24 together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
