Basecamp pricing and plan structure changes

"As of January 7, 2005, the new rates will be as follows:

  • The Personal Plan will move to $12/month from $9/month.
  • The Basic Plan will move to $24/month from $19/month, but will include 15 active projects (up from 10 — an increase of 50%).
  • The Plus Plan will move to $49/month from $39/month, but will include 35 active projects (up from 25 — an increase of 40%). The Plus plan will also include SSL encryption (previously only available on the Premium plan).
  • The Premium Plan (unlimited projects) will move to $99/month from $59/month. While we recognize that this is a big jump, we need to account for the extra support and hardware costs necessitated by power Basecampers who manage a large number of projects. In order to soften the transition we've increased the project count of the Plus plan. This means a lot of current Premium subscribers on the fence between Plus/Premium can safely move to Plus (and even save $10/month off the old Premium rate)."
