Part 01 · Overview
Welcome
What it is, who it suits, its grades and the ten things to know first
2.0
GPA, above 6 of the 111 other project management tools we grade
Kantree is a work management platform published by the French cooperative Digicoop. It combines cards that can be viewed as a kanban board, table, calendar, timeline or Gantt chart with team chat, collaborative documents, whiteboards, forms, no-code automations and dashboards. Cloud data is hosted in the EU, and an AI add-on is sold separately.
To get you started, here are 9 things to know about Kantree, taken from its own pages and our grades.
No store rating on record, and boards and automations have to be built.
- 1
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.
- 2
Paid plans start at about $13.41 a month for each person
As its pricing page puts it: €12 per user / month, billed annually (€16 billed monthly).
- 3
You can try it first
15-day free trial, no credit card required.
- 4
It runs on 6 platforms
Web, Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android.
- 5
Multiple views of the same cards
Cards can be shown as a to-do list, kanban board, spreadsheet, calendar or timeline, with Gantt on the Business plan.
- 6
Chat, documents and whiteboards
The v11 release added workspace channels, card-based threads, collaborative documents and whiteboards beside the project views.
- 7
No-code automations
Rules, buttons and conditional action chains, with a monthly action allowance that differs by plan.
- 8
A 2.0 GPA, above 6 of 111
That is against the other project management tools we grade, on value, the free plan, features, ease of use and platforms.
- 9
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.

The report card
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.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | D | Team 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. |
| Free plan and trial | C | 15-day free trial with no card. No free plan. |
| Features | C | Several views of the same cards, chat, documents, whiteboards, automations, forms and dashboards. The gap: Gantt is not on Team. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record, and boards and automations have to be built. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, Windows, Mac, Linux, iOS and Android apps. No integrations list was read, so no A. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.
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 it 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
Good to know
Good for
- Teams that want EU-hosted data and an ISO 27001-certified vendor
- Organizations that need an on-premise or private cloud option
- Teams that want chat, documents and project boards in one workspace
Worth knowing
- Prices are in euros and exclude VAT.
- Gantt, portfolios, multiple teams and SSO need the Business plan at €20 per user / month billed annually.
- The AI features are a separate add-on at +€3 per user / month on top of the plan and use additional credits.
- There is no free plan, only a 15-day trial.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
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.
