Clients in the thread without buying seats

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.

Two hundred and ninety nine flat for everyone

The free plan let us run one real project properly before committing. Not a countdown, an actual project. We were paying within a month because it was obvious.

Decisions are findable a year later

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.

Clients in the thread without buying seats

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.

Clients and guests included without extra seats

We loop clients into specific message threads while keeping internal discussion private, and they do not need a seat or an explanation of permissions. For an agency that is worth more than any Gantt chart.

Great small, questionable large

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.

Response from the vendorJun 27, 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.

It has not changed and that is the feature

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.

No dependencies ended it for our construction team

After four years and a few hundred projects, finding an old discussion is harder than it should be. Search returns a lot and ranks it poorly, and I often remember roughly when something was said and cannot get to it.

Reporting is essentially absent

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.

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.

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.
