Skroutz: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Skroutz is a Greek online platform that began as a price comparison website and developed into an e-commerce marketplace. Online shops present their offers there, and consumers compare prices across merchants. The company was founded in 2005 by three founders. The service is a web platform that customers do not install.

Skroutz Internet Services S.A. has its headquarters in Nea Ionia, a municipality near Athens in Greece, which places its seat inside the European Union. Its majority owner is a fund managed by the private equity firm CVC Capital Partners. In May 2026 Blackstone announced an agreement to acquire a majority stake, subject to regulatory approval and expected to close in the second half of 2026. A European organisation should request the processing terms and hosting locations from the operator, and should check the ownership again after the closing.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Skroutz

Skroutz is headquartered in GR and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data. The ultimate owner is based in LU, also within Europe.

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

Skroutz 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 Skroutz together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
