TL;DR: Basecamp is an opinionated project management tool focused on communication and simplicity. Evrybo is a different kind of simple, focused on visual task management with built-in design feedback and surveys. Choose Basecamp if you need message boards and team chat. Choose Evrybo if you need Kanban boards, feedback tools, and surveys.
Why Teams Look for Basecamp Alternatives
Basecamp has a loyal following for good reason. It keeps things simple and opinionated, which is refreshing in a market full of bloated tools.
But that simplicity comes with trade-offs that do not work for every team:
- No Kanban boards. Basecamp uses to-do lists for task management. If your team thinks visually, this can feel limiting.
- No design review tools. There is no way to upload an image and pin feedback on it. Visual teams need separate tools for this.
- No survey or research features. If you collect user feedback through forms, you need another subscription.
- Flat-rate pricing. This is great for large teams but can feel expensive for teams of 3-5 people compared to per-user pricing.
Basecamp’s communication features (message boards, campfires, automatic check-ins) are excellent. But if task management and visual feedback matter more to your team, a different tool might fit better.
How Evrybo Compares to Basecamp
Both tools value simplicity. They just apply it to different parts of the workflow.
Task Management
Basecamp organizes work through to-do lists, card tables (a newer feature), and Hill Charts. The focus is on keeping things straightforward with minimal configuration.
Evrybo organizes work through Kanban boards with drag-and-drop columns, assignees, priorities, due dates, and subtasks. This gives teams a visual overview of project progress at a glance.
Bottom line: Basecamp favors list-based simplicity. Evrybo favors visual, board-based task management. Pick based on how your team prefers to track work.
Communication
Basecamp is strong here. Message boards, campfire chat, automatic check-ins, and document sharing give teams a structured communication hub.
Evrybo does not include message boards or team chat. Communication happens through task comments, design annotations, and notifications. If internal messaging is a core need, Basecamp has the edge.
Bottom line: Choose Basecamp if structured team communication is central to your workflow. Evrybo is focused on task execution and visual feedback rather than async messaging.
Design Feedback
Basecamp does not include native design review. You can attach images to messages or to-dos, but there is no way to pin comments on specific areas of a design.
Evrybo includes design feedback built in. Upload images, create interactive prototypes, pin comments on specific areas, and share with clients who can review without creating an account. A Figma plugin keeps designs synced.
Bottom line: If your team reviews visual work, Evrybo handles it natively. With Basecamp, you would need a separate feedback tool.
User Research
Basecamp does not include surveys or forms. You would pair it with Typeform, Google Forms, or similar.
Evrybo includes a survey builder with 15+ question types, conditional logic, and an AI form generator, all connected to your project workspace.
Bottom line: If you run user research or collect feedback through surveys, Evrybo covers it without extra tools.
Pricing
Evrybo starts at $4/month per user with a free plan available. Basecamp uses flat-rate pricing that changes over time. Check Basecamp’s website for current rates. For very small teams (under 10 people), Evrybo’s per-user model is typically more affordable. For larger teams, Basecamp’s flat rate can be the better deal.
Who Should Choose Basecamp
Basecamp is the right choice if:
- Internal communication (message boards, chat) is central to how your team works
- You like Basecamp’s opinionated, all-in-one approach to project management
- Your team is large enough that flat-rate pricing works in your favor
- You rely on Hill Charts or automatic check-ins
- You do not need design feedback or survey tools built in
Who Should Choose Evrybo
Evrybo is built for teams who:
- Want Kanban boards for visual task management
- Work on design or visual projects and need built-in feedback tools
- Run surveys or user research as part of their workflow
- Have a small team (2-15 people) and prefer per-user pricing
- Want one tool for tasks, feedback, and surveys instead of separate subscriptions
Switching from Basecamp
Evrybo does not currently offer automated import from Basecamp. You would need to recreate your task boards manually, which usually takes less than an hour for small teams.
What you will gain: Kanban boards, visual feedback tools, and built-in surveys at a lower cost for small teams.
What you might miss: message boards, campfire chat, and Hill Charts. If communication is a core part of your workflow in Basecamp, plan for an alternative messaging tool.
