While Basecamp 2 and Basecamp 3 are the company’s flagship project management products, Basecamp Classic is still available as well.Ĭonfused yet? Let’s try to simplify things.īack in 2012, Basecamp released what would eventually become Basecamp 2 (it was initially called Basecamp Next, but this has gotten confusing enough already). With that release-which included a sleek new interface, discussion board, and other collaboration features-original Basecamp became Basecamp Classic. It’s actually still supported, but Basecamp Classic hasn’t seen any new features in more than five years and Basecamp has no plans to update. However, if you’re a big fan of mid-2000’s technology, you’re welcome to continue using Basecamp Classic: Basecamp says they’ll continue to support it as long as there is an internet. Think of it as the difference between an iPhone 3 and an iPhone 7. Your iPhone 3 might still work and they can help you with it at the Apple store if you have a problem, but don’t expect any new features. Two years later, Basecamp 3 was released and did to Basecamp 2 what Basecamp 2 once did to Basecamp Classic. Basecamp 2 is still supported and still has plenty of fans, but Basecamp 3 is the place to be for any new updates. Which leads us back to the main question: what’s the difference between Basecamp 2 and Basecamp 3? 1. If you have fewer than 40 projects or need less than 15 GB of storage, you could save about $50/month by using Basecamp 2. The new “What’s new” report in Basecamp 3īasecamp 3’s main project view includes the following tools and features: But if you need more than that, why wouldn’t you use Basecamp 3, which would be cheaper for unlimited projects? The answer comes down to the features.
