How much does Basecamp cost in 2026?
Quick Answer: Basecamp Pro Unlimited is $349/month flat (annual) for unlimited users and 5 TB storage. Basecamp Plus is $15/user/month. A free personal tier supports 1 project and 1 GB storage.
Basecamp uses an unusual pricing model for the project management category — flat-rate at the top tier rather than per-user — which has been a deliberate position since the launch of Basecamp 3 in 2015.
Plans and pricing (verified 2026-05-05)
| Plan | Price | Users | Projects | Storage |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Free Personal | $0 | 1 | 1 | 1 GB |
| Plus | $15/user/month | per seat | Unlimited | 500 GB total |
| Pro Unlimited | $349/month annual ($399 monthly) | Unlimited | Unlimited | 5 TB |
All paid plans include the same features: message boards, to-dos, schedules, docs, Campfire chat, automatic check-ins, Card Tables, Hill Charts, the API, and 30-day rolling backups. There are no feature gates between Plus and Pro Unlimited.
When each plan makes sense
- Free Personal: individual freelancers managing a single client engagement.
- Plus: small teams under ~24 users where per-seat is cheaper than the flat rate.
- Pro Unlimited: teams above ~24 users, agencies that bring clients into shared projects, and any team that anticipates significant growth.
The breakeven is approximately 24 users: $15 × 24 = $360/month, which is just above the $349 Pro Unlimited rate. Above 24 users, Pro Unlimited is materially cheaper. At 50 users, Plus would cost $750/month versus $349 for Pro Unlimited.
Discounts
37signals offers no volume discounts beyond the flat-rate model itself. There are no annual prepayment discounts on Plus (which is already monthly billed) and no enterprise tier. 37signals has publicly stated they will not negotiate.
What's not included
Basecamp does not bundle storage above the published limits, single sign-on (Pro Unlimited includes SAML SSO; Plus does not), or HEY email (sold separately). There is no enterprise-tier audit log retention beyond the standard 30 days.
Free tier and trial
A 30-day free trial is available for all paid plans with no credit card required. The Free Personal tier is permanent for individual users.
Comparison to per-user PM tools
For a 50-user team:
- Asana Business: $24.99/user/mo = $1,250/month
- Monday.com Pro: $19/user/mo = $950/month
- ClickUp Business: $12/user/mo = $600/month
- Basecamp Pro Unlimited: $349/month flat
Pro Unlimited becomes increasingly attractive as team size grows. The trade-off is that Basecamp ships fewer features than any of these alternatives.
