Freelo as an alternative to Basecamp, because...

What you don't measure, you don't control. That's why Freelo itself offers you the opportunity to to measure or report time spent on a task, which is reflected in budgets thanks to a set hourly rate. This gives you instant visibility into the cost of internal and client projects.

❌ Basecamp has no timetracking - you don't measure time over tasks in standard Basecamp.

By linking Freelo to Google, Outlook, or MS Teams, answers from these tools are typed directly into the assignment discussion, saving you time and helping you maintain context. And it works with attachments too. Crop the email signature so it doesn't take up unnecessary space.

See how to connect Freelo to Gmail or Outlook.

❌ Basecamp has its own Campfire chat, but email replies will not be transferred to the task discussion.

Be clear about what your team is working on, what the distribution of forces is and how much time is actually worked in a month. Freeload reports will show you the biggest drivers and who is costing you the most money.

❌ Basecamp does not have cross-project reports or advanced reports.

Freelo Templates saves a lot of time and worry about forgetting a task. They give the whole team access to routines and project instructions including To-Do sheets, subtasks, solvers and deadlines. Delegation can be done in a few clicks.

❌ Basecamp offers templates only for projects, not for subtasks or To-Do sheets.

Up to 100 external users that you don't pay for. Make the most of Freelo's potential by inviting external collaborators, clients, suppliers. With basic rights they get access to up to 2 projects for free.

❌ In Basecamp Pro Unlimited you pay a fixed price, but the Basic version is limited to 1 project.

The transition to a new project tool is challenging in itself. To make it easier and faster, we offer our teams Assisted Onboarding - individual training tailored to your needs.

❌ Basecamp does not offer individual onboarding.
