Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Basecamp

  • The free tier allows one project and 1 GB of storage
  • Pro is $15 per user per month, so cost scales with headcount unlike the flat Pro Unlimited at $299 a month billed annually
  • Storage beyond the plan costs $50 a month per additional terabyte
  • Timesheet and the Admin Pro Pack are paid upgrades on Pro and only bundled with Pro Unlimited

Microsoft Intune

  • Intune Plan 1 costs $8.00 per user per month standalone, with the Intune Suite add-on costing a further $10.00 per user per month
  • Individual suite add-on components are priced separately at $2.00 to $5.00 per user per month rather than included in the base plan
