A flat-rate Basecamp alternative

Looking for a Basecamp alternative?

Basecamp is a pioneer in simple project management and internal communication, but it remains strictly internal-facing. While it excels at to-do lists and organized messaging, it lacks the feedback loops and OKR tracking needed to align product strategy with customer demands.

Pricing without the per-seat tax

Basecamp

Basecamp offers two main paid tiers: 'Basecamp Plus' at $15/user/month with unlimited projects and core collaboration tools, and 'Basecamp Pro Unlimited' at $299/month flat (annual). Advanced modules like Timesheets and the Admin Pro Pack are sold as add-ons for the per-user tier, so smaller teams can avoid the $299 commitment if they only need specific extras.

Planet Roadmap

Planet Roadmap offers a more accessible path starting with a free tier and a $19/month Starter plan for unlimited projects. Our $49/month Pro plan includes 10 team seats and OKR tracking, providing a middle ground for growing companies that want flat-rate voter pricing without the $299/month commitment.

Why teams switch to Planet Roadmap

1

Native Feedback Loops — Basecamp is a 'walled garden' for internal teams, whereas we provide a public voting portal and roadmap to bring your customers directly into the planning process.

2

Strategic OKR Alignment — Move beyond simple to-do lists by mapping your projects to high-level OKRs, ensuring every task your team completes is driving a specific business goal.

3

Scalable Pro Features — You shouldn't have to pay $299/month just to get professional-grade organization; our Pro tier gives you API access and advanced views at a fraction of the cost.
