    I like the fact that the pricing model is not based on "per user" , but rather "# of projects". Also, I use their templates feature.

    Many features missing, many features need external plugins which would be hard to keep track of/etc.

    No custom task status, tasks can't be moved between projects or task lists.

    Gives a pretty complete overview, but nothing that shows 'at a glance' how the project is doing in terms of any timeline/etc.

  • Great work and compilation !! I would like to recommend Proofhub (http://www.proofhub.com) – best Collaboration & project management software. It is a complete solution that makes project scheduling a easy job with interactive gantt chart, to-do's, sub tasks, label, notes; Along with project scheduling & tracking, it also offers inbuilt browser chat, proofing, file sharing and google apps integration.

    Nodoubt, Basecamp is good but it lacks important features like time tracking, private messages and integration with google. Have you tried proofhub? Features like time tracking, casper (hidden) mode, to-do's, discussions make it awesome. So, you don't miss anything.

  • I have used Basecamp and find that it lacks many important features like time tracking, inbuilt browser chat, proofing tool and casper mode until I came across Proofhub (http://www.proofhub.com), really nice alternative to Basecamp. It provides to-do's, milestones, file sharing, inbuilt browser chat, proofing tool, casper mode to discuss with clients, really helpful if one team is located offshore. Prices are comparitively much less than Basecamp.

    Wrike is very fast, has excellent Gantt charts, tasks can belong to more than one project, has a 3-pane display, email integration, and collaborative editing of task descriptions using EtherPad

    Basecamp sets the standard for ease of use and also importantly in data sharing with other applications. It would even be better if they told developers when they change their API!

You could also add apollohq to the global comparison: http://socialcompare.com/en/comparison/outils-de-gestion-de-projet-solutions-heberges SocialCompare is a collaborative and crowdsourced platform, please do not hesitate to ask if you have any questions!
