What each one is
Asanasite ↗pricing ↗
A work management tool for teams tracking projects and tasks, strong on views — lists, boards, timelines — over the same work. Paid plans start at €13.49/mo (Starter), priced per user; a free plan exists. The ladder we hold runs 2 paid tiers, topping out at €30.49/mo (Advanced). It bills by country — entry £11.59/mo to a UK reader, from our same-day reads. Its published prices moved on 2026-08-29 — the change log holds the rows. The free Personal plan is real; paid tiers are per user and cost more billed monthly than billed annually.
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).
