About Basecamp
Basecamp is the project management and team communication platform known for its simple flat-rate pricing ($15/month for unlimited users) and opinionated approach to work. Each Basecamp project gets a standardized set of tools: a message board, to-dos, schedule, group chat (Campfire), automatic check-ins, and file storage — no endless customization required. Basecamp's 37signals team invented many modern productivity concepts and continues to challenge the conventional wisdom on async-first work. Its simplicity makes it beloved by agencies and client-services teams.
