Basecamp

Overview

If your team juggles Slack, email threads, Asana, Dropbox, and Google Docs just to run a single project, Basecamp consolidates all of it into one place. You get message boards, to-dos, file storage, group chat, scheduling, and client collaboration tools built in from day one. Basecamp has run profitably for 25 years, carries zero debt, and posts 99.99% historical uptime publicly. Three pricing tiers cover every stage of growth: a free single-project plan, a $15 per user per month plan that bills only for employees, and a flat $299 per month Pro Unlimited plan that covers unlimited users. Clients and contractors join free on every paid plan. No credit card is required to start a trial, and you can cancel any time without talking to a retention specialist. Over 75,000 organizations across 166 countries use it today.
