Basecamp axes per-user fees for fixed pricing, cuts top-tier storage from 5TB...
What happened
Between the Aug 17, 2026 and Aug 24, 2026 captures of Basecamp's pricing page, Pulse recorded 2 changes: Basecamp overhauled pricing: headline now touts 'no per-user fees, fixed prices'; lineup expanded from Free/Pro/Pro Unlimited to five fixed-price tiers, eliminating per-user billing on Pro; Top-tier plan's included base storage was cut from 5 TB (10x the Pro plan) to 1 TB, even as the plan was renamed from Pro Unlimited to Unlimited Edition. Pulse files it as a packaging change (package change, limit decrease) with a downward direction. Pulse's latest capture (Oct 19, 2026) lists Freelancer at $25, Studio at $59, Pro at $99, Unlimited at $299 and Additional Storage at $100.
It lands 41 days after Basecamp's previous change, "Basecamp rebrands Plus to Pro, ends $349 pay-monthly on Unlimited" (Jul 13, 2026). Before that Pulse recorded "Basecamp renames Plus to Pro, adds payment flexibility" (Jun 1, 2026). Basecamp has been tracked since 2026-02-26.
In the same window Trello, Notion, ClickUp, Asana and monday.com also changed their Project Management pricing pages. Those moves are listed further down, and the Pulse Agent can compare them side by side.
