Basecamp vs Airtable: Which is a better fit?

Reelika S.: Hi, I am Reelika from Design Dream Lifestyle. I'm a business strategist and coach, and I would give Basecamp five stars. Before using Basecamp, we really were just using Microsoft Excel spreadsheets, but the problem we ran into was the collaboration and the teamwork. Basecamp allowed us to collaborate virtually with our team from across the globe and to get the projects done. We chose Basecamp because we were looking for a software that would allow us to collaborate to work across the globe on different projects. For example, content management, virtual workshops, in-person workshops, and that software allowed us to spread out all the tasks while also keeping an eye on what's already done and what still needs to be accomplished. When we started with Basecamp, we took a look at the tutorials. And I have to say they were very straightforward, very easy to follow. There really is no room to make any mistakes. And you don't need a high-tech knowledge for that, so anybody can really use this. If you're thinking about using Basecamp, give it a try because if you have a team, especially virtually, that has different projects going on and you need to delegate, and you want to keep eye on what's already done and what still needs to be accomplished, that is a really good tool for that.

Onome D.: Hello, my name is Onome. I am an artist and facilitator. I am a solopreneur and I give Airtable four out of five stars. Prior to Airtable, I was using Google Drive as my content library, and I find Airtable to be better suited to the job. Well, it just so happened that I was able to receive a template for doing my content management system that made it easier for me to figure out how to organize my content in a fairly straightforward way. It was a bit of a learning curve, even with the template because I mean, there's so many options and so many customizations. So I'd say overall it's a pretty steep learning curve. In my case, having a template made a bit of an easier entry point for me. But even with that entry point, it was a little difficult to understand how to add new columns and customize the database. So I'd say it's a little bit of challenge. I would say that though Airtable has worked just fine for my purposes as a solopreneur, it's better suited to a team of people just because it has so many potential moving parts. And the way in which it is customizable, I think it would be better suited to a team of people, like a group of archivists or a group of social media content managers, that kind of thing. Those teams would be the ones that would best be served by a software like Airtable.
