About Basecamp
Basecamp is a project management tool for teams that work together in one place. It covers messages, tasks, files and schedules for each project.
What it does
Each project has its own message board, to-do lists, file storage and calendar. Teams can post updates, assign tasks and keep discussions in one place rather than spread across email threads. Clients can be brought into projects where that is needed, so client work stays in the same tool as internal work.
Key features
- Keep project messages on one message board
- Track to-do lists and assign tasks
- Store files and documents inside each project
- Schedule events on a shared calendar
- Share project updates with clients
Who it's for
Agencies, small businesses and client-facing teams who want a simple setup. Companies that want to keep company-wide messages in one place also use it to reduce inbox clutter.
Pricing and good to know
Basecamp offers a free plan, and paid upgrades add more features. It also offers an API and a command line tool for developers. Check the pricing page for the current plan details before you choose a plan for a larger team.
