OVERVIEW

About Kantree

Kantree is the work-management platform built by Digicoop, a French workers' cooperative (SCOP: Société Coopérative et Participative) that is 100% employee-owned. The legal structure is a fundamental procurement-grade signal: there are no external shareholders, no VC / PE on the cap table, and the cooperative model permanently prevents acquisition or hostile takeover, a governance posture matched in this directory only by Proton's non-profit foundation structure and Cryptee's solo bootstrap. The product covers Kanban boards, Gantt timelines, custom forms, dashboards, and workflow automations across project management, engineering, IT, HR, and marketing use cases.

Compliance posture: ISO/IEC 27001 certified, GDPR compliant, EU-only hosting with daily backups, French jurisdiction throughout. The combination of cooperative ownership, ISO 27001, EU hosting, and no CLOUD Act exposure makes Kantree one of the strongest sovereignty signals in this category. The product is also available as a self-hosted on-premise deployment for organisations that want to keep the entire stack on their own infrastructure.

Pricing details were not directly captured at audit (the /pricing path requires deeper crawl); the model is paid SMB / mid-market without a public freemium. Best fit: EU SMBs and agencies that value the cooperative ownership story alongside the flexibility of an Airtable / Monday-class platform, and any organisation requiring an on-premise PM option without losing managed-cloud feature parity.
