How much does Basecamp cost in 2026?
Quick Answer: Basecamp keeps a flat-rate model with no per-user fees, now priced by the number of active projects. As of September 2026: Free (1 project, 1 GB, up to 5 users), Freelancer $25/month (3 active projects, up to 20 users), Studio $59/month (10 projects, unlimited users), Pro $99/month (25 projects, unlimited users) and Unlimited at $299/month billed annually ($3,588/year) for unlimited projects and 1,000 GB of storage. The per-seat Plus plan ($15/user/month) listed in July 2026 no longer appears, so above 20 users the buying decision is a project count rather than a headcount. 37signals offers no volume discounts and no enterprise tier.
Basecamp Pricing (as of July 2026)
Basecamp keeps its flat-rate-at-the-top model (a deliberate 37signals position).
| Plan | Price | Active projects | Storage | Users |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free | $0 | 1 | 1 GB | Up to 5 |
| Freelancer | $25/month | 3 | 5 GB | Up to 20 |
| Studio | $59/month | 10 | 25 GB | Unlimited |
| Pro | $99/month | 25 | 100 GB | Unlimited |
| Unlimited | $299/month billed annually ($3,588/yr) | Unlimited | 1,000 GB | Unlimited |
As of September 2026 no plan charges per user: the tiers differ by active-project cap and storage, and Studio, Pro and Unlimited all allow unlimited users. The per-seat Plus plan ($15/user/month in July 2026) and the 5 TB Pro Unlimited plan are gone, so the old 20-user breakeven no longer applies; the deciding number is how many projects run at once. 37signals offers no volume discounts and no enterprise tier.
How Basecamp compares (50 users)
| Tool | Monthly |
|---|---|
| Basecamp Unlimited | $299 flat (billed annually) |
| Asana Advanced | ~$1,250 |
| Monday.com Pro | ~$950 |
| ClickUp Business | ~$600 |
Basecamp's flat pricing becomes increasingly attractive as team size grows; the trade-off is that Basecamp ships fewer features than any per-seat competitor.
Editor's Note: Basecamp's flat rate is the whole pitch, and as of September 2026 no plan charges per user at all. Re-checked 28 September 2026: the ladder runs from Freelancer at $25/month to Unlimited at $299/month billed annually ($3,588/yr), which changes the buying question from headcount to project count. A 40-person team running eight projects at once fits Studio at $59/month; in July 2026 the same team would have paid $600/month on per-seat Plus or $299/month (billed annually) on Pro Unlimited. The feature trade-off (fewer features than Asana or Monday) remains the real consideration, not price. — Rafal Fila, ShadowGen
