Best for boards, chat and docs in an EU-hosted workspace
Kantree combines boards, chat, documents and automations, and runs on web, desktop and phones. Gantt, portfolios and single sign-on need Business at €20 a user, and there is no free plan.
Who Kantree is for
- Fits if you want boards, chat and docs in one EU-hosted workspace
- Works for teams of 2 to 50 on the Team plan
Who Kantree is not for
- Pricey if you need Gantt, portfolios or SSO: Business is €20 a user a month yearly
- Watch out: AI is an add-on at €3 a user on top of the plan and uses credits
- Watch out: prices are in euros and exclude VAT
- Not for you if you want a free plan, as only a 15-day trial is on the page
Why Kantree gets a 2.0
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- DValue for moneyTeam is €12 a user a month yearly, but Gantt and portfolios are on Business at €20, against a $9 middle. AI is another €3 a user.
- CFree plan and trial15-day free trial with no card. No free plan.
- CFeaturesSeveral views of the same cards, chat, documents, whiteboards, automations, forms and dashboards. The gap: Gantt is not on Team.
- CEase of useNo store rating on record, and boards and automations have to be built.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb, Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android apps. No integrations list was read, so no A.

Keep Kantree, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Kantree you would be making connections to other products, each kept working as those products change. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 90 of the 111 other project management tools grade higher. It costs $160.88 a year.
What you could make
- Kanban boards, Gantt & timelines and tasks: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- Connections to other products, each kept working as those products change.
- Connections that pull numbers from dozens of other services.
- Apps for macOS, Windows, Linux, iOS and Android that stay in step with each other.
- It is priced for each person, which means accounts and billing for a team.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Kantree’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
