Read this page as one judge. Each weighs the same scores by what they care about.

The Data Protection Officer

Weighted verdict

Reads the DPA before the feature list. Optimizes for GDPR posture: EU hosting, subprocessor exposure, deletion guarantees. Rejects anything that cannot answer where the data lives.

Same scores as the panel view — this lens weights them the way this judge cares.

Scored by The Data Protection Officer

Collaboration depth

How this is scored

How much real multi-person project work the tool carries: shared planning, assignments, dependencies, workload, comments, guest access.

0 — A personal task list; a second user has no defined place in it.

3 — Tasks can be shared and assigned, but planning stays per-person — no shared timeline, workload or dependency view.

5 — Solid shared projects with assignments, comments and at least one team-level planning view; gaps appear in cross-project or capacity planning.

8 — Team-level planning is first-class: cross-project views, workload/capacity, dependencies, guest or client access with sane permissions.

10 — Handles the full span from two freelancers to a structured department in one model — planning, capacity, permissions and client involvement all without workarounds.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

Real multi-person work is evidenced end to end: multiple assignees per card, mentions with email-replied comments, guest invitations with assignable roles and observer/contractor roles, permissions down to the field level, a per-member workload chart, and cross-project dashboards with portfolio views. We found no public information on explicit card-to-card dependencies, though relationship fields and card linking by reference number are documented. 1 5 7 8

Reporting

How this is scored

Whether the tool can answer questions about the work: progress, time, budgets, utilization — and export the answer.

0 — No reporting beyond looking at the board.

3 — Fixed per-project status views only; nothing aggregates across projects and nothing exports cleanly.

5 — Useful standard reports (progress, tracked time) with basic filters and CSV export, but limited customization and no budget/utilization depth.

8 — Configurable cross-project reporting incl. time, budgets and utilization, with dashboards and reliable exports.

10 — Reporting is a product in itself: custom report builder, scheduled delivery, API access to every metric the UI shows.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

Configurable cross-project reporting is well evidenced: a query language with sum and count aggregations, chart types from tables to radar, a dashboard editor combining figures and charts, time and expense logs, per-member velocity and workload views, plus a PowerBI guide for live data and a plainly stated export feature. We found no public information on scheduled report delivery. 2 7 8 14

Integrations

How this is scored

How well the tool connects to the rest of the stack: native integrations, calendar/comms hooks, API and webhooks, import/export paths.

0 — A closed box — no API, no integrations, CSV out if anything.

3 — A handful of marquee integrations, no public API or an API that covers a fraction of the product.

5 — The common set (calendar, Slack/Teams, file storage) plus a documented public API; automation platforms partially covered.

8 — Broad native catalogue, well-documented API and webhooks, first-class automation-platform support and real import paths from competitors.

10 — Ecosystem-grade: everything in 8 plus the tool is itself extensible (apps/plugins, AI/MCP surfaces) and exit via API export is complete.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

A documented public API and webhook pages, Zapier, two-way GitHub synchronization, Slack and Teams connectors, Google and Dropbox attachments, and genuine import paths from Trello, Asana, Jira and spreadsheets make for strong connectivity. We found no public information on calendar integration, and the Teams connector is reserved for Enterprise offers. 9 10 11 14

Onboarding effort

How this is scored

Time and friction from signup to first real value for a small team, without paid services.

0 — No self-serve path — onboarding starts with a sales call and an implementation project.

3 — Self-serve exists but the first project requires configuration a newcomer cannot judge yet (workflows, custom fields, permissions) before anything works.

5 — A team gets a first project running within a day; trial requires payment details or key steps live behind docs.

8 — Signup to working project inside an hour: guided setup, sensible defaults, templates, trial without payment details.

10 — Minutes to value even for non-tool-people, importers pull existing work in, and the tool teaches its own advanced features as the team grows into them.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

A 15-day trial with no credit card required, 30-plus ready-to-use templates, spreadsheet import that can create the first workspace, and a ten-minute getting-started guide put a first working project within an hour's reach. Deeper configuration such as card models and custom fields is walked through afterwards in a guide library with stated durations, so it is not needed before anything works. 1 2 6 9 11 14

Report an error

European sovereignty

How this is scored

Where the company and the data actually sit: legal entity, ownership control, data residency, and subprocessor exposure to non-EU jurisdictions.

0 — Non-European vendor, data on US infrastructure under US law, no DPA worth the name.

3 — DPA and GDPR language present, but hosting defaults to the US or ownership sits outside Europe — compliance paperwork over substance.

5 — EU data residency is available and contractually fixed, but the vendor or its controlling owner is non-European, or core subprocessors put data within CLOUD Act reach.

8 — European company under European control with EU-resident data and a public DPA; remaining exposure is limited to identifiable subprocessors (e.g. a US hyperscaler's EU region) and is documented.

10 — European company, European control, EU-only data residency on European infrastructure, subprocessor list free of extraterritorial reach — verifiable, not asserted.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

The operator is named as Digicoop SARL, a French worker cooperative, with primary hosting at OVH in France, files and backups in AWS's Ireland region, a published DPA, a no-transfer-outside-the-EEA commitment, and deletion fixed at 60 days after account termination. Subprocessor exposure is documented in the privacy policy, though several of them — AWS, Stripe, Sentry — sit under US parent companies, and we found no published company register or imprint to verify ownership beyond the vendor's own statement. On-premise and SecNumCloud hosting options on the Business plan strengthen the posture further. 1 2 3 4

Support & documentation

How this is scored

Whether a stuck user gets unstuck: docs quality, support channels and their availability per plan, and the health of the learning surface.

0 — No docs beyond marketing pages; support is a contact form that may answer.

3 — Docs exist but are thin or stale; support on entry plans is effectively email-only with slow turnaround.

5 — Searchable help center covering the core product; chat or email support on all plans with reasonable response times.

8 — Deep, current docs incl. onboarding guides and templates; fast chat support not gated to top tiers; visible changelog.

10 — Docs, academy, community and support so good they are a reason to buy; SLAs published, support quality independent of plan.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

The help centre spans guides, FAQ, developers, on-premise and community sections, and the guide library covers onboarding through advanced topics with stated durations; email support exists via the contact channel while phone support sits on Enterprise and priority support on Business. We found no public information on chat support, published response times or a visible product changelog. 2 12 13 14

Pricing transparency

How this is scored

Can a buyer determine the real, payable cost of the tool for their team before talking to anyone?

0 — No public pricing at all — every number sits behind "contact sales".

3 — Some tiers are public, but a deciding factor (seat minimums, mandatory add-ons, billing-period surcharge, tax treatment) only surfaces at checkout or in fine print.

5 — Self-serve tiers are publicly priced and the billing-period difference is stated, but the headline number still needs qualifying — e.g. annual-only headline, taxes excluded without saying so, or an opaque enterprise tier doing real work.

8 — Every self-serve tier is fully priced with billing periods and tax treatment plain on the page; only genuinely custom enterprise work lacks a number.

10 — Every tier including enterprise has a public price or published price formula, and the headline number is the number on the invoice.

Report an error

The Data Protection Officer

Both self-serve tiers are priced per user per month — "8€ / user / month" and "15€ / user / month" — with tax treatment stated plainly ("Prices exclude VAT (EU only)"), the annual discount and its lock-in billing terms disclosed, and quotas such as automations and storage listed per tier. Only the Enterprise tier sits behind "Contact us", and the annual figure is presented as a "-20%!" flag alongside the monthly price rather than as its own number. 1 2
