Comparison

Zuuna vs factro: two German tools compared

factro is a German product, so the usual GDPR argument does not apply. What remains: audience, structure, and proximity to the code.

In most comparisons on this site, hosting is an argument. Not here: factro is a German product, so anyone avoiding a US tool for data-protection reasons finds the same footing there as here. That is the honest starting point — and it makes the comparison more interesting, because it gets decided on function.

Where factro is strong

In classical project structure: project trees, Gantt, milestones, task hierarchies. For teams that plan projects rather than let items flow — construction, consulting, public administration — that is the more fitting way of thinking. Zuuna has no work-breakdown structure and no Gantt.

Where Zuuna is strong

The moment software is involved. Commits and pull requests on the card, releases bound to git tags, the code graph, sprints with capacity and a REST API with webhooks. That is not a further stage of factro, it is a different audience.

Pricing

factro: Basic free for up to 3 users · Business €19.99 · Professional €29.99 per user per month from 3 users; Government on request.

Zuuna: Free €0 · Plus €4 · Business Standard €8 · Business Pro €16 · Developer €24 per seat/month, incl. VAT.

How to decide

Not on price — they sit close together. On one question: does a meaningful part of your work end up in a repository? If yes, the git connection is the difference no feature list makes up for. If no, factro with its project tree and Gantt is probably closer to how you work.

FAQ

Is factro GDPR-compliant too?

factro is a German product, so the argument we use to distinguish ourselves from US vendors does not apply here. For details on server location and data processing, factro states its own — they were not on the pricing page when it was read.

Does Zuuna have a work-breakdown structure or Gantt?

No. Zuuna works board, sprint and calendar based. If you think in project trees and bar charts, factro suits you better.

What is the most important difference?

Proximity to the code. Zuuna connects board, git and pipeline; factro is built for classical project planning. Both are valid approaches for different teams.

Switching is duller than you think.

Connect Jira with an API token, or let Zuuna read Trello from its JSON export — both with the field mapping already filled in. Any other tool you export to CSV or Excel. The import runs once; it does not sync. Then try it for 14 days, no credit card.
