European Resource Management and Capacity Planning Tools

Resource management software answers who is free, who is overbooked and whether the next project can be staffed. It holds names, leave, hourly rates and utilization targets, which is HR-adjacent data. The European tools below keep that planning layer with a contracting company in the EU, the EEA, the UK or Switzerland.

How we rank these tools — 4-step process
  1. 1
    European ownership, verified

    The company is headquartered and incorporated in the EU, EEA, the UK, Switzerland or Israel, and processes customer data in Europe or Israel. A US parent company disqualifies a tool from this page regardless of where its servers are.

  2. 2
    Category fit and hands-on review

    What the tool actually does, who it suits, and where it falls short — checked against the vendor’s own documentation, changelog and pricing page rather than its marketing copy.

  3. 3
    Compliance and pricing check

    GDPR posture, hosting location and the prices quoted on this page are verified against the vendor’s public pricing before publication, and re-checked when we revisit the category.

  4. 4
    Position on this page

    Placement on this page can be paid, and that can affect the order tools appear in. It never buys a listing: a tool that fails the checks above is not here at any price, and payment does not change the shortcomings we write about. A vendor can ask us to correct a factual error — not to remove a criticism.

Vendors can pay for visibility on this page. It never changes what an entry says about a product, including the criticism, and we earn nothing when you click through to a vendor. Vendors can pay for more visibility, higher up on the review pages; it never affects whether a tool is listed. Editorial policy

Key takeaways

  • Resource Guru from the United Kingdom ranks first here because it combines clash detection, leave, equipment and room booking and timesheets that fill from bookings, with SOC 2 Type II stated and a first paid tier at $5 per person per month.
  • Ganttic OÜ in Tartu and Meisterplan from itdesign GmbH in Tübingen both charge by the number of resources scheduled and give unlimited free users, so a plan can be shown to a whole company without buying seats.
  • Teamdeck sp. z o.o. in Poznan sells a Full Member seat at $6 and a Light Member seat at $2 per month, and says every feature is open whichever mix you choose.
  • Scoro Software OÜ, MOCO and Projektron GmbH extend resource planning into quotes, budgets and invoices, while Scoro also lets the customer choose between Frankfurt, Stockholm, Toronto or Sydney as AWS region.
  • Five of the ten tools run on a US cloud, namely Resource Guru on Google Cloud, Teamdeck, Scoro and Teamwork Crew Limited on AWS and awork on Microsoft infrastructure, so contracting party and hosting provider are separate questions.

European resource management and capacity planning software lets a planner assign people, equipment and rooms to projects, spot overbooking and compare plan with logged hours, and it comes from a vendor contracted in the EU, EEA, UK or Switzerland, which counts because every plan stores employee names, leave and hourly cost rates.

Every European resource management and capacity planning software tool reviewed

#1 Resource Guru

United Kingdom, United Kingdom Founded 2012 Per person each month in USD on monthly billing: Grasshopper at $5, Blackbelt at $8, Master at $12, with a reduction on annual terms Demo on request

Best for: Agencies, consultants and engineering teams that mainly need to schedule people and equipment

  • Operating company. Resource Guru Limited
  • Jurisdiction. United Kingdom (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
  • Where the data sits. Google Cloud Platform
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Kantata resource planning, Float, Runn

Resource Guru is a booking calendar for people, equipment and meeting rooms. A booking can be tentative, repeated or given as total hours, the calendar warns about clashes, and leave sits on the same view. Capacity views show availability and utilization, and timesheets fill from what was booked, with approvals on the Master plan, so a manager compares scheduled hours with logged ones.

England and Wales is where Resource Guru Limited is incorporated, and May 2012 is the release date the company gives. The security page mentions SOC 2 Type II, a yearly penetration test and Google Cloud Platform with no region named. Dollar prices run $5, $8 and $12 per person monthly across three plans. Thirty days of trial are offered, and invoices or quotes do not appear in the pages we read.

What Resource Guru does well

  • Clash warnings and leave visible on the one calendar
  • Equipment and rooms booked next to people
  • SOC 2 Type II stated by the company
  • Timesheets that fill themselves from bookings
  • Entry price of $5 per person per month

Where Resource Guru falls short

  • Billing stays in a separate accounting package
  • Dollar price list for a British vendor
  • No hosting region stated
  • Sits on Google Cloud infrastructure

Standout feature. Resource Guru is the only tool here that lists its own MCP server beside clash detection and a booking calendar for equipment and rooms.

#2 Ganttic

Tartu, Estonia No cost up to 10 resources, users unlimited at no charge; PRO plans scale with resource count and have no public rate card; bespoke packages from 1,500 resources Demo on request

Best for: Teams scheduling people, machines and rooms across many parallel projects, with many more viewers than planners

  • Operating company. Ganttic OÜ
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Estonia)
  • Where the data sits. AWS, Frankfurt, Germany
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Microsoft Project, Float, Resource Guru

Ganttic is built for the question of who and what is free next month, answered on a drag-and-drop Gantt chart that spans all projects. The vendor names as examples a construction firm, an agency staffing consultants and an engineering department with shared lab equipment. Tasks as boards or sprints are outside its scope, so it runs next to a project tool.

Ganttic OÜ works from Tartu, Estonia, and its servers are AWS in Frankfurt, Germany; the certifications it cites (ISO/IEC 27001:2013 and ISO 9001:2015) belong to AWS, not to Ganttic. Nobody pays per user. The bill follows the count of people, machines or rooms, with ten resources free and tailored packages from 1,500. A 14-day trial needs no card.

What Ganttic does well

  • Viewers cost nothing because only scheduled resources are charged
  • Frankfurt hosting named on the vendor page
  • Whole portfolio visible on a single Gantt view
  • Permanent free tier up to 10 resources
  • Trial of 14 days without card details

Where Ganttic falls short

  • No task boards, sprints or backlog
  • No rate card above the free tier
  • Fits people and equipment scheduling, not software delivery
  • Relies on its host for certifications

Standout feature. Ganttic is the tool here whose price and design both follow the scheduled resource rather than the user, so a plan can be shared with anyone for free.

#3 Milient Resource Flow

Oslo, Norway Pricing on request (the Milient pricing page covers Project Flow: monthly fee per user, no free plan) Demo on request

Best for: Architecture, engineering and consulting firms planning team capacity across projects

  • Operating company. Milient Software AS (Norway) and Milient Software AB (Sweden)
  • Jurisdiction. EEA, not EU (Norway)
  • Where the data sits. Not stated on the pages checked
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Runn, Float, Kantata resource planning

Milient Resource Flow is the product now sold under the name Resource Flow by Hub Planner. A manager searches the pool by skills, roles or location and assigns a match with real start and end dates, and, according to the vendor, work can be reallocated without disrupting the rest of the schedule. A Forecasted Utilization report shows spare capacity and likely bottlenecks over a chosen range.

The vendor is Milient, formed in 2023 from several startups including Hub Planner, with more than 150 staff in Norway, Sweden, Belgium, France, Ireland, Vietnam and the UK by its own count. The entities are Milient Software AS in Oslo and Milient Software AB in Linköping, and Swedish law governs the terms. No Resource Flow price, hosting region or signing entity is stated on the pages checked.

What Milient Resource Flow does well

  • Pool search by skill, role and location
  • Utilization forecast over a date range, already templated
  • Timesheets compare scheduled and reported hours, with approval
  • Leave and public holidays cut available hours automatically
  • Offices across several European countries

Where Milient Resource Flow falls short

  • Price for Resource Flow is not published
  • Where the data sits is not stated
  • Terms do not say which Milient company signs
  • Examples lean toward architects and engineers

Standout feature. Milient Resource Flow is the one planner here built around searching a resource pool by skill, role and location before assigning anyone.

#4 Teamdeck

Poznan, Poland USD each month: $6 for a Full Member, $2 for a Light Member; Enterprise quoted on request Demo on request

Best for: Small creative agencies and software teams that want scheduling and timesheets

  • Operating company. Teamdeck sp. z o.o.
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Poland)
  • Where the data sits. Amazon Web Services (region not stated)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Float, Kantata resource planning

Teamdeck stays narrow on purpose. Its seat types divide the team: a Full Member manages projects, teams and settings, and a Light Member is booked on the calendar, logs hours and sees an own plan. According to the pricing page every feature is open whatever the mix. Reporting spans utilization, time off, budgets, payroll taken from timesheets and revenue forecasts, with rates per project or per resource in several currencies.

Controller of the data is Teamdeck sp. z o.o., whose address in the data protection policy is in Poznań, Poland. The dollar seat prices are $6 and $2 monthly, a 14-day trial is offered and Enterprise terms come on request. AWS appears among the processors, region unstated. Google Calendar, Slack, Podio, Sage HR, Zapier and an API are the connections.

What Teamdeck does well

  • A $2 seat for people who only log hours
  • Two weeks of trial
  • Controller is a Polish company
  • Budget and revenue-forecast reports
  • Zapier connection and an API

Where Teamdeck falls short

  • No quotes or invoice generation
  • Dollar prices, and the billing period is unclear
  • Processing on AWS in an unnamed region
  • Narrower than a complete PSA

Standout feature. Teamdeck prices people who only record hours at $2 per month without taking any feature away from them.

#5 Meisterplan

Tübingen, Germany Founded 2012 Licence cost set by how many resources are scheduled, users unlimited at no charge; sales quotes by resource count; 30-day trial Demo on request

Best for: Mid-size and large organisations that need portfolio and capacity planning across many committed projects

  • Operating company. itdesign GmbH
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Planview, Smartsheet, Microsoft Project

Meisterplan works one layer above the project board: the question is whether the organisation has the people for all twelve projects it has committed to. It supports scenario planning to test what moves when one project shifts, and it assumes a task tool underneath for daily work. Teams still keep OpenProject, Taiga or a board product for tasks, the vendor profile notes.

Tübingen is where itdesign GmbH began in 1999, and the company launched Meisterplan in 2012. The profile lists ISO/IEC 27001:2022, ISO/IEC 27018:2019, a TISAX assessment and the Software Made in Germany seal. Nobody pays to be a user; the licence follows schedulable resources and is quoted case by case, after a 30-day trial. A hosting region is not stated.

What Meisterplan does well

  • TISAX and two ISO standards on the product page
  • German quality seal
  • Viewers are free, resources are what is billed
  • Month-long trial without card
  • Aimed at the portfolio level above single projects

Where Meisterplan falls short

  • Needs a separate tool for day-to-day tasks
  • Quote required for every price
  • Hosting location is not named
  • More than a single small team needs

Standout feature. Meisterplan is the only tool here that lists TISAX, the automotive-industry assessment, next to ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and 27018:2019.

#6 awork

Hamburg, Germany Founded 2019 Entry price €5 per user per month on annual billing (€8 if paid monthly), then Standard at €12 and Professional at €22 Demo on request

Best for: Agencies that want projects with phases, tracked time and a per-person workload view in one product

  • Operating company. awork GmbH
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
  • Where the data sits. Germany, on Microsoft infrastructure
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Asana, monday.com, Wrike

awork organises agency work in phases, tracks time against each phase and shows in a workload view who is over-committed before the week begins. Designers and account managers are who it is made for, and planning is one function among several. Sprints and an agile backlog are absent.

awork GmbH of Hamburg started in 2019. The vendor states ISO 27001 and German servers on ISO 27001 certified Microsoft infrastructure, so the company is German while the provider underneath is not. Pricing is from €5 per user per month billed annually (€8 monthly), with Standard at €12 and Professional at €22, and a free trial rather than a free plan.

What awork does well

  • Workload view per person, often left to a spreadsheet
  • Time tracking is part of the product
  • Euro price list starting at €5 on annual billing
  • Phases and budgets designed for client projects
  • Hamburg company with ISO 27001 stated

Where awork falls short

  • Microsoft is the infrastructure provider
  • Trial only, no permanent free plan
  • Not meant for software teams running sprints
  • Fewer integrations than larger American suites

Standout feature. awork is the only tool here that puts a phased project board and the per-person workload view into a single subscription at a euro entry price.

#7 Scoro

Tallinn, Estonia Combinations begin at €15 per user monthly, Quote to Cash is €25, End-to-end is €52, with five users as the minimum Demo on request

Best for: Consultancies, agencies and IT services firms that want quote-to-cash in one system

  • Operating company. Scoro Software OÜ
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Estonia)
  • Where the data sits. AWS, with the client choosing Frankfurt, Stockholm, Toronto or Sydney
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Kantata, Accelo, ConnectWise PSA

Scoro splits the work of a service firm into eight apps (Do, Deliver, Track, Resource, Sell, Estimate, Spend, Invoice) that share one data model. A firm can start with hours and projects and add billing later; time booked on a job then flows into budgets, margin reports and invoices with no sync step. Xero, QuickBooks and Sage Intacct are connected, a REST API, webhooks and an MCP server exist, and several entities and currencies are supported.

The contracting party is Scoro Software OÜ of Tallinn, and its privacy policy points to Estonian law. Each client names the AWS region, from Frankfurt, Stockholm, Toronto and Sydney, and the company says it holds ISO 27001 and complies with GDPR. Price points are €15 for combinations, €25 for Quote to Cash and €52 for End-to-end, per user per month, with five users as the floor. A 14-day trial exists; teams above 15 people pay for onboarding.

What Scoro does well

  • Buy only the apps in use
  • One record from quote to invoice
  • Frankfurt or Stockholm region on request
  • Estonian company as the contracting party
  • Several entities and currencies in one account

Where Scoro falls short

  • At least five users must be bought
  • US provider hosts the data
  • Onboarding fee applies beyond 15 people
  • No permanent free tier

Standout feature. Scoro is the tool here where the customer picks the AWS region at signup, with Frankfurt and Stockholm among the four choices.

#8 MOCO

Binz (Zurich), Switzerland Per user, per month Demo on request

Best for: Agencies of roughly five to a hundred people that want time, projects, planning and invoices together

  • Operating company. MOCO
  • Jurisdiction. Switzerland (adequacy decision, outside the EEA)
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Harvest, Toggl + FreshBooks, Scoro

MOCO treats time tracking as the entry to something larger: the same hours drive project budgets, resource planning, offers, invoices and expenses. The vendor positions it against stacks where a timer, a planner and an invoicing tool disagree, since hours, budget and invoice are one record. Exports go to DATEV and other German accounting systems, and an API covers the rest.

The provider is everii Switzerland GmbH, Binz near Zurich, and the profile talks of German hosting. Swiss law sits outside the EEA, with an EU adequacy decision. Only "per user, per month" is shown for the price, no amount in the material we checked, and the planning and invoicing modules come with it instead of being priced as extra tiers.

What MOCO does well

  • Hours, budget and invoice in one record
  • Profitability shown by project without a spreadsheet
  • Exports that suit German bookkeepers
  • Planning included with the user price
  • Open API

Where MOCO falls short

  • Heavier than a freelancer needs
  • Shaped for agencies, so less general
  • Strongest in German-speaking markets
  • Every team member is a paid user

Standout feature. MOCO is the tool here whose accounting export is built around DATEV, so a German tax adviser receives the format they already use.

#9 Teamwork.com

Cork, Ireland Founded 2007 Five users free; beyond that $9.99 per user monthly on Basics or $24.99 on Accelerate, billed yearly Demo on request

Best for: Client-service teams that want projects, scheduling, utilization and billing in one Irish-built product

  • Operating company. Teamwork Crew Limited
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Ireland)
  • Where the data sits. AWS, with US and EU regions
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Asana, monday.com, Basecamp

Teamwork.com joins resource scheduling and utilization tracking to billable time, retainers, budgets and invoicing, so an agency need not reconcile a project tool with accounting each month. A team that wants only a capacity chart will use a small part of it, and the interface carries the weight of many years of additions.

Teamwork Crew Limited, from Cork, began in 2007, which makes it the oldest vendor on this list by founding year. The audit claims are ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2. Servers sit on AWS in US and EU regions, so an Irish contracting party rests on an American infrastructure provider. Five users use it free; paying plans have a 14-day trial.

What Teamwork.com does well

  • Retainers and invoices next to the schedule
  • Both ISO/IEC 27001:2022 and SOC 2 Type 2 claimed
  • Contracting company inside the EU
  • Five users free, then $9.99
  • Long track record since 2007

Where Teamwork.com falls short

  • AWS regions include the US
  • A dense screen layout
  • Per-user cost climbs quickly
  • Tuned to client work, not internal product teams

Standout feature. Teamwork.com treats the invoice as a first-class object in the same product as the schedule, with a free plan for five users.

#10 Projektron BCS

Berlin, Germany On-premise BCS licence costs €300 to €350 per user; BCS.light costs €200 a licence, or €20 a month as a cloud service; VAT not included Demo on request

Best for: IT, engineering and consulting firms wanting PSA with ERP depth, and on-premise if required

  • Operating company. Projektron GmbH
  • Jurisdiction. EU (Germany)
  • Where the data sits. Germany, cloud service run by dogado GmbH, or your own servers
  • Source code. Closed source
  • Replaces. Kantata, ConnectWise PSA

Projektron BCS reaches well past planning, into controlling, portfolio management, resources, time recording, tickets, quotations, invoicing, CRM, expenses and documents. PRINCE2, IPMA, Scrum and Kanban are all supported, in ten interface languages. A smaller edition, BCS.light, serves project teams that need the path from quotation to invoice.

Berlin is the seat of Projektron GmbH (commercial register HRB 79669, Charlottenburg), and the vendor claims more than 850 companies run BCS. Customers either buy a licence for their own servers, at €300 to €350 per user, or take the cloud edition, which runs only in German data centres operated by dogado GmbH and carries an ISO 27001 statement. BCS.light is priced at €200 a licence or €20 monthly in the cloud, without VAT.

What Projektron BCS does well

  • Planning, ERP functions and invoicing in one licence
  • Choice between German cloud and your own servers
  • Licence prices printed on the editions page
  • Interface available in ten languages
  • Methods such as PRINCE2 and IPMA are supported

Where Projektron BCS falls short

  • Large scope means a long implementation
  • Cloud price period for BCS is not given
  • Consulting and training cost extra
  • Heavier than cloud-only competitors

Standout feature. Projektron BCS is the only tool here sold as an on-premise licence as well as a German cloud service.

Do I need a scheduler, a capacity planner or a PSA?

Start from the question that currently costs you money. If it is "who is free on Thursday", a booking calendar answers it: Resource Guru, Ganttic and Teamdeck draw people, equipment and rooms on one grid and flag clashes. If it is "can we staff the next quarter", you need forecast demand against headcount, which is where Meisterplan and Milient Resource Flow put their effort, with scenario planning in the first and a Forecasted Utilization report in the second.

A PSA joins the plan to money. Scoro, MOCO and Projektron BCS tie the same hours to budgets, offers and invoices, and Teamwork.com adds billable time and retainers. That removes a re-keying step between planner and accounting package. It also means the planning data becomes part of your finance process, so replacing the tool later is a bigger job than replacing a calendar.

How do per-user and per-resource prices compare for a mixed team?

Per-user pricing counts every login. Resource Guru steps from $5 to $8 to $12 per person monthly, awork goes €5, €12, €22 by plan, and Teamwork.com charges $9.99 on Basics after five free users. Teamdeck divides the seat instead: a planner is a $6 Full Member, a person who only logs hours a $2 Light Member.

Per-resource pricing counts what is scheduled. Ganttic is free up to 10 resources and Meisterplan quotes by schedulable resource, and both let any number of colleagues view the plan at no charge. That wins when managers, sales staff and clients outnumber the planned people, and loses when almost everyone is scheduled. Neither publishes a rate card above that, so ask for a figure at your headcount, including contractors and machines.

Which tools keep planning data under a European contract and European hosting?

Contracting companies are the simple part, since all ten are in the EU, the EEA, the UK or Switzerland. Hosting varies much more. Ganttic names AWS in Frankfurt, awork names Germany on Microsoft infrastructure, Scoro leaves the AWS region to the client, and Projektron BCS runs from dogado GmbH in Germany or from servers you own.

Google Cloud carries Resource Guru, AWS carries Teamdeck, and Teamwork.com sits on AWS in US and EU regions; the first two give no region. Meisterplan, MOCO and Milient Resource Flow give none on the pages we checked, beyond the country for MOCO. If procurement reaches the subprocessor, Projektron BCS on-premise is the one option here that removes it. Jurisdiction also differs: the UK and Switzerland have adequacy decisions but sit outside the EEA, and Norway is EEA but not EU.

What changes when moving away from Runn, Float or Kantata?

The price unit and the contract. Runn Fast Limited sells per resource seat in US dollars under New Zealand law, according to its own terms and pricing page. A European tool changes that to euro or dollar seats, per-resource licences or a quote, and the counterparty to a company in Estonia, Poland, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, the UK or Switzerland.

Rebuild skills, rate cards, project budgets and placeholder hires by hand or via CSV, because no common exchange format exists. Milient Resource Flow is the nearest on skills and role search, Resource Guru and Ganttic on the booking calendar itself, and Scoro on the Kantata-style quote-to-invoice route. Run the old and new tool in parallel for one planning cycle before cancelling.

When is it better not to switch?

Keep the incumbent if a feature you rely on is missing. Several tools here have no invoicing in the pages we read: Resource Guru and Teamdeck state it, and Ganttic does scheduling only. If you need approved timesheets with billing, or SAML single sign-on, check each vendor for it before the move rather than after.

Also stay put when the hosting argument does not apply. A team that only wants a European legal entity, and accepts AWS or Google Cloud underneath, gets that from almost all ten. A team that needs no US provider in the chain should read the hosting lines closely, since only Projektron BCS offers on-premise and Ganttic states Frankfurt hosting, itself on AWS.

Which integrations and exports should I check first?

Most migrations turn on accounting and timesheet exports. DATEV is the target for MOCO, Xero, QuickBooks and Sage Intacct are the ones Scoro names, and Teamdeck offers Google Calendar, Slack, Podio, Sage HR, Zapier and an API. Resource Guru and Scoro each list an MCP server for AI tools.

For planners that bill nothing, the export that matters is the booking list with rates and hours. Ask each vendor for a sample file before you commit, and check whether leave and public holidays come across, because Milient Resource Flow and Resource Guru both reduce availability from them and a wrong import skews every utilization figure that follows.

How we selected and ranked these 10 tools

Every tool on this page is in the European Purpose directory, which means the operating company is established in Europe and we have verified that from the company register or the vendor's own legal notice rather than from a marketing page. Tools headquartered outside Europe are not eligible, however good they are.

  1. Feature verification (weight: 40%). We check each capability against the vendor's own documentation and product pages, and record what the tool does rather than what the category is assumed to include.
  2. Ease of adoption (weight: 30%). Integrations, published API access, trial availability and how much configuration stands between signing and a usable result.
  3. Value and transparency (weight: 30%). Published pricing counts in a vendor's favour; quote-only pricing is recorded as quote-only rather than estimated. We weigh what a buyer gets for the entry price, not the headline feature count.
  4. Editorial review. Every page is researched and drafted with AI assistance, and the compliance and pricing claims are checked against the vendor's documentation before it is published under the founder's editorial responsibility. The three weights above decide the order; a position is a ranking against the other European tools in this category, not an absolute score.

Vendor-reported outcomes — ROI figures, margin uplift, time saved — are labelled as vendor claims wherever they appear on this page. We have not audited them, and neither has anyone else who quotes them. Read our full editorial process for how pages are re-verified.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on the criterion. Resource Guru from the UK ranks first for a simple booking calendar with leave, equipment and timesheets. Ganttic from Estonia is the choice when viewers outnumber planners, Teamdeck from Poland is cheapest per hour-logging seat, Meisterplan from Germany fits portfolio questions, and Scoro, MOCO and Projektron BCS suit firms that also want quotes and invoices.

Two tools have a permanent free option: Ganttic up to 10 resources, and Teamwork.com up to five users. The rest offer trials only, of 30 days at Resource Guru and Meisterplan, 14 days at Teamdeck and Scoro. awork and MOCO show no permanent free plan on the pages we checked.

Yes, in two different ways. Ganttic and Meisterplan charge for the resources scheduled and leave users unlimited and free. Teamdeck keeps per-seat pricing but sells a $2 Light Member seat for people who only log time or see their own plan, next to a $6 Full Member seat for managers.

Only Projektron BCS, in the tools we reviewed. It can be bought as an on-premise licence at €300 to €350 per user or used as a cloud service hosted with dogado GmbH in Germany. Every other tool in this list is software as a service, and none of the others states a self-hosted option.

Ganttic OÜ and Scoro Software OÜ (Estonia), Teamdeck sp. z o.o. (Poland), itdesign GmbH, awork GmbH and Projektron GmbH (Germany) and Teamwork Crew Limited (Ireland) are EU companies. Resource Guru Limited is British, MOCO is Swiss, and Milient is Norwegian and Swedish, so those three are European but not all inside the EU.

List prices are mixed. awork and Scoro quote in euro, Projektron BCS in euro with VAT excluded, and Resource Guru, Teamdeck and Teamwork.com in US dollars. Convert at one date, note whether the figure is billed monthly or annually, and add the cost of any minimum, such as the five users Scoro requires.
