## Reviews

### "Simplify project management with Basecamp" — 5.0/5

> **Norman** | *16 July 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: It takes a less is more approach to features, is very intuitive (which helps when on-boarding new people) and the logic of grouped to-do lists with historical threads and asset uploads cannot be beat. I use it daily and have been for over 15 years.
> 
> **Cons**: Nothing comes to mind. I really enjoy the product and don’t have any complaints. They role out features slowly and clearly so you can adapt.
> 
> I use it to manage all my work and tasks and also encourage clients to use as well. It allows people to catch up quickly if not up to date, keeps everyone honest and efficient and provides a central place for all work-related activity.

### "It is ok for managing everything mostly" — 4.0/5

> **Keir** | *24 January 2026* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: My coffee has gone cold and this desk is to small for 2 monitors but Basecamp manages the sprint without blowing up. I was pleasantly surprised the AI formatted my notes correctly, unlike other programs that create chaos with them. We do all our frontend and QA ticketing thru Basecamp, it is nice that they do not vanish into thin air. They also provide us with an additional view of the board and calendar, which is whatever.
> 
> **Cons**: The most frustrating thing about Basecamp is sometimes it seems like they put to much emphasis on features and I lose track of where things are located, especially finding the CRM section. The largest pain point is I am unable to enable my camera when I am creating a video clip for the team, which makes zero sense.
> 
> The first thing I used was Trello, but it broke pretty soon at more than a couple of employees and I had to buy Basecamp. This system provides the client with an opportunity to see their own, proof and marketing schedule, taking out a lot of phone calls. Less usage of Slack as well, since comments are related directly to each task.

### "Good for project management for small-sized companies" — 3.0/5

> **Ashish** | *8 July 2025* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Basecamp is a great tool for project management, especially for an agency-style setup where there are multiple projects going on with team members working on different projects differently. The pricing is quite affordable.
> 
> **Cons**: I feel Basecamp needs to update its interface to a modern design. The chat (Campfire) is not very powerful, especially for group communication. The file upload and sharing features are also a bit clunky. Sometimes it takes me a while to find things because the search is not very powerful.
> 
> Overall, okay for certain small companies, but as the company size grows, I feel Basecamp would become insufficient for their needs.

### "Basecamps Number One Fan" — 5.0/5

> **Raegan** | *10 April 2026* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: I love the organization of Basecamp. It is so easy to use, easy to learn and so very organized. I do not know how I would do my job as effectively without it. It allows for great teamwork and collaboration.
> 
> **Cons**: I do not have a negative thing to say about this program. It is so well run. If anything maybe more introduction videos to those who have never used it.
> 
> I am so grateful for basecamp. It easily stores my files and helps with feedback between postings. I use it everyday. I love the search feature as well.

### "A Do-It-All platform" — 4.0/5

> **Todd** | *16 July 2025* | Plastics | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Great way to set up communication/chats between specific groups within our company, that allow for easy visibility and quick notification/response so that we can keep our business moving.
> 
> **Cons**: The fact that a notification badge cannot be attached to the app icon when on computer is disappointing. The Basecamp app on my phone notifies me that there is a message, but for some reason this functionality is not available for the desktop version. It causes many within our company to miss when messages are waiting.
> 
> Simple to use. Easy to manage projects. Efficient way to communicate. Provides a trackable message history for referencing. Straightforward to use.
