### "Basecamp Review"

August 27, 2025

5.0

Our overall experience with Basecamp has been really good thus far. We can get more of our work done in a lot less time... Love that!!!

Pros

Our company really likes the fact that we can manage all of our projects in one area instead of having multiple different products.

Cons

The thing that our company likes least about Basecamp is that we only use this product for a couple of their tools.

Pros

It was free and was a great project management tool for the stage of our company at the time.

### "Decent software. Could be better. "

August 5, 2024

3.0

Basecamp works well and is a decent project management tool. If you have no used other project management tools than you will find it very helpful. However, if you have used software like Asana or Mondays, you quickly realize the limitations of Basecamp.

Pros

Basecamp has single page projects that are relatively simple to use. The to-do lists are easy to use as well. Basecamp can also handle large file transfers.

Cons

Basecamp isn’t the most user friendly software available. It’s quirky and somewhat difficult to figure out what to do if you aren’t familiar with the software.

### "All the foundations you need"

July 29, 2024

5.0

Pros

Basecamp is the perfect solution for simplicity and efficiency. It has just what you need to manage projects, communications, and almost any collaborative work. You're not flooded with a ton of features that you'll never use. The message board is simple, yet effective, with just enough customisability. Most importantly, it's a product built for their own use case - so Basecamp's authors are using the platform to build their entire business around it. They have a ton of free resources, with my favourite being the Shape Up book about how Basecamp runs research & discovery on the platform.

Cons

They've improved many of the things I didn't like, so I think the only remaining issue is that you can't set tasks to recur every 8+ days. It caps out at 7. It's a niche use case, but I needed it a few times already and had to work around this.

We tried a number of project management platforms, but they were cluttered and didn't fit our minimalist requirements.

### "Base camp review"

March 19, 2026

5.0

My overall experience has been OK. I wouldn’t say as my favorite software, but it’s not my least favorite either.

Pros

What I like most about it now is that it’s still more user-friendly and it’s easy for me to adapt to.

Cons

I don’t like that. I have to go through a bunch of different stuff just to get one thing done. I have to jump through like 20 hoops.

### "Straightforward Project Management"

September 9, 2024

4.0

I came into the organization when BC was being used, and I acclimated quickly. We used Basecamp for tracking progress on projects, and for project management in general

Pros

Easy project management without being bogged down with bells and whistles. If words will do, Basecamp will be perfect

Cons

There were not a lot of complicated features, and this led colleagues to search for a better fit. For most things, I was fine with BC.
