Basecamp vs Superlist
Both ladders below were read from the vendors’ own pricing pages, in this market, on the dates shown. Nothing is converted: what you see is what each page showed a reader here.
What each one is
Basecampsite ↗pricing ↗
A project and team communication tool sold as one flat product, deliberately opinionated about how teams should work. Paid plans start at $25/mo (Freelancer); no free plan is published. The ladder we hold runs 3 paid tiers, topping out at $99/mo (Pro).
Superlistsite ↗pricing ↗
Paid plans start at $5/mo (Basic); a free plan exists. The ladder we hold runs 2 paid tiers, topping out at $21/mo (Super). We read the same $5/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country.

Where they differ
- Cheapest way in: Superlist at $5/mo, against Basecamp at $25/mo. That is the entry price in this market on the dates shown, not a judgement about which suits you.
- Free plans: only Superlist publishes one — a plan priced at zero, not a trial.
- How far each ladder goes: Basecamp tops out at $99/mo, Superlist at $21/mo. A deeper ladder is not a worse deal — it is a bill that keeps climbing if you keep growing.
- Superlist: We read the same $5/mo in every market we check, so this vendor does not price by country.
How to choose in this category
- Nearly everything here is per seat — multiply by the team before comparing.
- Free tiers cap different things: seats on some tools, features on others. Check which.
- Billed-monthly rates sit above the advertised annual-billed figures.
