Dixa
EU verifiedDanish omnichannel customer service platform from Copenhagen – core hosting in the EU, as a European alternative to Zendesk.
Dixa is a conversational customer service platform from Copenhagen that bundles email, chat, telephony, social and messaging in one interface. As a European vendor, Dixa is an alternative to US helpdesk tools like Zendesk: the core infrastructure runs on AWS in Luxembourg, so the data sits in the EU. For add-on channels such as telephony and AI features, however, some US sub-processors are used (including Twilio, Microsoft/Azure OpenAI), safeguarded via the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses. The company is venture-backed; its largest funding round was led by US investor General Atlantic. Pricing is charged per agent per month.
Note on ownership: Dixa is a Danish customer service platform from Copenhagen (founded 2015). The company is private and venture-backed; its Series C (2021, around US$105M) was led by US investor General Atlantic. According to the sub-processor list, the core infrastructure runs on AWS (Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, Luxembourg), so data sits in the EU. For add-on channels such as telephony and AI, some US sub-processors are used (including Twilio, Bandwidth, Microsoft/Azure OpenAI, ElevenLabs), safeguarded via the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or Standard Contractual Clauses.

Sovereignty Score & weitere Bewertungen
Dänischer Anbieter mit Kern-Hosting in der EU (AWS Luxemburg) – als Zendesk-Alternative solide. Souveränität gemindert durch US-Leitinvestor und US-Subprozessoren für Telefonie/KI (DPF/Standardvertragsklauseln); nicht quelloffen.
