Keep project discussions, tasks, files, and schedules together. Basecamp gives each project a consistent home and includes chat and automatic check-ins for ongoing communication.
Basecamp is worth a look when clients and teammates keep losing decisions across email and chat.

Basecamp is worth a look when clients and teammates keep losing decisions across email and chat. I would judge it on whether everyone can find the next task, not on how many reporting options it has. Freelancer still has a user cap, while Studio and above include unlimited people. Choose around the projects you run at the same time, not the number you finish in a year.

About Basecamp
Keep project discussions, tasks, files, and schedules together. Basecamp gives each project a consistent home and includes chat and automatic check-ins for ongoing communication.
The current plans use project and storage allowances rather than charging for every person on the larger tiers.
Basecamp brings messages, to-dos, files and project schedules into one place. Its flat account pricing can make sense when clients and collaborators would otherwise need paid seats elsewhere. Capacity is based on active projects and storage: archived projects do not consume an active project slot. Freelancer still has a user cap, while Studio and above include unlimited people. Choose around the projects you run at the same time, not the number you finish in a year.
