Wrestling with projects?
It doesn’t have to be this hard.

There are lots of ways to manage projects. And there’s plenty of software promising to help. You’ve probably tried some. Yet, here you are.

Unfortunately, most project management systems are either overwhelming, inadequate, bewildering, or chaotic. You know?

Not Basecamp. Basecamp is refreshingly straightforward, with a 21-year track record to back it up. Longevity isn’t luck — it’s proof it works. And you’ll work better with it too.

Basecamp is famously no-nonsense, effective, and reliable. The trifecta. It’s designed for smaller, hungrier businesses, not big, sluggish ones. Over 30 pages of customer testimonials detail how things run better on Basecamp.

So, we invite you to poke around, watch the video below, and try Basecamp for free. We’d be honored to have you as a customer. Thank you.

Let’s walk through it.

10 seconds after you sign up, clarity sets in.

The home screen organizes your projects, assignments, and upcoming events together on one screen. It’s your calm, comfortable, simple starting point every morning.

Projects get teams — and keep teams — organized.

A project is where the tasks, discussions, deliverables, and decisions happen. Projects hold everything — and everyone — together in one tidy, predictably structured place.

Reports give you confidence to hold people accountable.

Basecamp’s reports aren’t numbers, percentages, or abstract representations — they’re the real work, actual evidence of progress being made (or not made).

Visualizations are for seeing, not squinting.

Basecamp’s Lineup, Mission Control, and Hill Charts are visual tools that help you clearly see where projects really stand. Notice progress at a glance, know reality in an instant.

From Free to Pro Unlimited, you get all the essential fundamentals built in.
