Basecamp vs Freedcamp

Basecamp was launched in 2004. It has been a pioneer in online project management. Basecamp’s free version offered most of these features, but it can only manage one project. The paid versions allowed for more simultaneous projects and greater file storage capacity. However, the annual cost was $20, $50 or $100 depending on which package you selected. Most project managers didn’t mind paying this extra expense for a while. The world of software and technology is constantly changing and Freedcamp was born. Freedcamp, as the name suggests is a free alternative for Basecamp. It could be a great tool for startups in the early stages who are often tight on cash and don’t want to spend too much for better capabilities. Freedcamp has similar functionality to Basecamp, if not more. Basecamp loses votes because it is too simple. Freedcamp is not without its faults. The only thing that is significant is the 20 MB of storage they offer. There are also packages that you can purchase 1 GB of storage for $2.59 or unlimited storage for $40 per month. This is still a better alternative to Basecamp, even though it costs more. Basecamp is a flexible application that allows for communication between the team via email, discussion and notes. Basecamp also offers an admin mode that allows the project manager to view all ongoing tasks and results. A client mode lets you monitor the progress of the project in a read-only’ view, which means he cannot make changes. The ability to track the time spent on a task within a project by a member makes it easier to bill invoices at the end. Basecamp is the original project management software. This has earned it a loyal user base. Many people have used it for years and have become experts in the software so they prefer to stay with it. We are seeing new movements like Freedcamp that prove that free software doesn’t compromise quality and that it shouldn’t cost a lot to use a simple project manager app. Both software are well-known, but I expect Freedcamp and its future versions will gain a large following.
