Basecamp

Freelo

Basecamp

Paid plans are limited by active projects: 3 on Freelancer, 10 on Studio and 25 on Pro.
The Free plan covers a single project with 1 GB of storage and 5 users.
Every person added counts as a user, clients included, and Freelancer is capped at 20 users.
Unlimited Edition is billed annually only, and a paid plan cannot be downgraded to the Free plan.

Freelo

Prices are in euros and exclude VAT. The Business per-user price depends on team size: a single license is €49 a month, paid annually.
The Free plan allows 3 active projects, 3 invited users and 500 MB, and Lite stops at 9 users.
Timeline (Gantt), task dependencies, custom fields, the API and AI integration all need Business or Premium.
There is no native desktop app; the help center describes installing the web app as a PWA instead.

Basecamp

Message Board: Announcements and discussions are kept as posts inside each project, intended as a replacement for internal email.
To-dos and Card Tables: To-do lists support assignees, due dates, attachments and subtasks. Card Tables are Basecamp's version of kanban boards.
Campfire chat: Group chat is built into Basecamp, so a team does not need a separate chat app alongside its projects.
Schedule and Lineup: A per-project calendar holds deadlines, milestones and events, and the Lineup plots every project on a timeline by start and end date.
Hill Charts and Automatic Check-ins: Hill Charts show where a piece of work stands, and Automatic Check-ins ask the team recurring questions on a set schedule.
Client mode: Clients can be brought into a project, with control over what they can and cannot see, project by project.

Freelo

Projects, to-do lists and tasks: Projects group to-do lists and tasks, each with an assignee, deadline, priority, attached files and its own comment thread.
Row, kanban, calendar and timeline views: Tasks can be shown as rows, kanban columns or a calendar on every plan. The Timeline (Gantt) view and task dependencies need Business or Premium.
Time tracking and reports: Time tracked on tasks feeds daily, weekly and monthly reports of hours and costs, with CSV export. These are included on every plan, including Free.
Guest accounts: Business includes up to 100 free guest accounts and Premium up to 200, for clients and freelancers who do not need a full license.
AI connections: An MCP server and a Claude skill let AI assistants read and update tasks, and the built-in ToDoo assistant answers questions from Freelo's documentation.
Forms: Freelo Forms collect requests or feedback from anyone, and each submission creates a task in a chosen project and to-do list.
