Basecamp Demo - Your Homepage
See all your projects at a glance and who's working on what. Pin important projects to the top and see other recently visited projects.
Basecamp Demo - Projects
Projects are at the heart of Basecamp. They include all the tools you may need to manage your team, like messages, to-dos, files, chat, and Card Table, our take on Kanban.
Basecamp Demo - Docs & Files
Every project includes a space to share documents, files, and images. Since everyone on the project has access, people will know exactly where to find everything.
Basecamp Demo - Card Table, our take on Kanban.
Card Table is perfect for reactive work. Cards move through different columns as tasks change stages. Assign teammates, write comments, and even place cards on hold if you need to work on something else.
Basecamp Demo - Timeline
Ever wondered what you missed while you were out? Or how's progress on a project? With Basecamp, you can always check the Timeline and see everything happening. Whether you're checking on a project, a teammate, or the entire company, Basecamp makes it easy.
Basecamp Demo - The Lineup
“The Lineup” shows you where every project stands, from start to finish, all at once. See project dates, participants, and quickly jump into any project; all in one screen.

"Simple is usually better"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

I love the simplicity of Basecamp. When onboarding new employees or contractors I never have to give lengthy SOPS or training. I've used other project management software's were we never even used half features because we couldn't figure our the the interworking's. Basecamp provides all the features we need while keeping things simple and clean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

We would love if Basecamp would partner with a AI company to use AI agents in their software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for some teams, but not for all"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Pricing model is great for teams that have a lot of users... or that change users a lot. They are always improving and have created a really solid and valuable product. It is easy to use, Easy to implement for a team (totally customizable) and easy to integrate into other products through Zapier. Support is fantastic, but not needed much. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

The tool is very flexible, but that means if it is set up for one persons working style, it may not be as easy for others Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Small Businesses"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Basecamp is one of the few project management solutions to offer built in chat, multi project folders/views, and file storage all in one. When I was building my small business, Basecamp was a no brainer for myself and to recommend to clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Larger teams would definitely lack the type of intense automation capabilities of Basecamp and the notifications can be a little too overwhelming and niche but I believe you can adjust this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Basecamp is good for small teams, but it can be limiting for larger projects with complex needs."
What do you like best about Basecamp?

Switched to Basecamp a while back to manage projects for our marketing team (5 people). Sold on the simplicity and clean interface. Perfect for basic task management and keeping track of conversations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

Needed features like time tracking and built-in reporting, which Basecamp lacks. Everything felt siloed, forcing us to use separate tools.Adding new clients and projects became messy. Basecamp's structure felt rigid for our growing needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for organizing big events"
What do you like best about Basecamp?

I have found that Basecamp keeps everything quite organized, even from year to year. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Basecamp?

The only downside that I don't like is that for marking something done with multiple people is that if it is marked as done by one, even if not everyone is done, it's essentially completed. It would be better to have it where individuals could mark themselves as done their part, then when all of the names are checked off, it could be marked as complete.
