factro is a German project-management product operated by Schuchert Managementberatung GmbH & Co. KG in Bochum, Germany. The brand positions itself explicitly around "100% Made in Germany": all customer data is stored on German servers, the product is DSGVO and BDSG-neu compliant, and the operating entity is a founder-led management-consulting firm with no external venture-capital or private-equity involvement on the cap table. The product covers projects, tasks, time tracking, document management, and reporting with particular adoption in the German public administration sector and across 30+ industries.
factro serves more than 5,000 organisations and 100,000 users and offers a free tier covering up to 10 users with no credit card required and no subscription obligation, an unusually generous freemium for the German PM market. Paid tiers add advanced reporting, automation, and unlimited project depth. The German-only hosting, DSGVO compliance, EU ownership, and no CLOUD Act exposure are strong signals; the main gap is that the DPA is not publicly downloadable: it is provided on request to paid-plan customers only.
Best fit: German and DACH SMBs, public administration, and mid-market teams that want a German-rooted PM alternative to Asana / Monday / Trello with explicit DSGVO posture and free-tier evaluation path. Together with Stackfield and MeisterTask, factro forms a three-pillar German-rooted PM shortlist.
