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 (packaging change, limit lowered). Pulse's latest capture (Nov 9, 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" (May 31, 2026). Basecamp has been tracked since 2026-02-26.
