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 Basic tier covering up to 3 users with no credit card required and no subscription obligation, down from 10 users at the May 2026 audit. Paid tiers are Business at €19.99 and Professional at €29.99 per user/month on monthly billing, both from three users up, with a Government tier by quote. 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.
