Two hundred and ninety nine flat for everyone

I have used it for nine years and it has barely changed. In an industry where every tool adds an AI assistant nobody asked for, that stability is a feature. My team is not relearning the software every six months.

Pros

Flat rate unlimited plan removes per seat maths entirely

Cons

No resource management or utilization view

The tool nobody needed training for

I rolled it out on a Monday with no training session and no documentation. By Wednesday everyone was using it correctly. Every other tool we have adopted needed a session, a champion and three months of nagging.

No training required for anyone to use it correctly

Cons

Exporting years of history if you leave is painful

Email volume dropped by half

Internal email dropped by about half in the first two months because the conversation moved to where the work is. That was not something I was even trying to fix.

Clients in the thread without buying seats

Automatic check in questions replaced our Monday status meeting entirely. Everyone answers what they are working on in their own time, it is all in one place, and we got an hour a week back per person.

Message boards keep decisions findable long after the fact

Time tracking requires a third party add on

Check ins replaced our status meeting

Forty people, unlimited projects, two hundred and ninety nine dollars a month. Per seat competitors quoted us three and four times that. More importantly I stopped having the conversation about whether adding a contractor was worth a licence, which was a genuinely corrosive conversation to keep having.

Wrong tool if you need a schedule

It does not have dependencies, Gantt charts or a critical path, and it never will. That is a position rather than a gap. If your work is genuinely sequential, this is the wrong product and no amount of liking it changes that.

Response from the vendorOct 18, 2025

Thanks for the thoughtful review. We deliberately leave out dependencies and Gantt charts because they add complexity most teams do not need, and we accept that makes us the wrong choice for some work. We appreciate you setting that out fairly.

Wrong tool if you need a schedule

At forty people it works. I have spoken to a company running it at two hundred and they had drifted into a hundred and forty projects with no way to see across them. There is a size where the simplicity turns against you.

The message board is why we stay. A decision made in March is findable in November, with the reasoning and who disagreed. In chat that conversation would have scrolled away in a day and we would relitigate it every quarter.

We outgrew it and the move was painful

Growing past about eighty people we needed portfolio reporting and resource visibility and there is no path to it inside Basecamp. Exporting years of discussion into a new tool was genuinely awful, and much of the context did not survive.

Time tracking needs a third party add on. We use Everhour and it is fine, and it is another tool and another bill for something most competitors include.
