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. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.

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. It quotes USD here rather than local currency, so your bank sets the conversion.
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.
