Why teams look around
Why teams look beyond Basecamp
Basecamp is a calm, proven project tool. These are the common reasons small teams look at something else.
AI built in
Teams want AI that writes the spec and plans the work inside the tool, rather than bringing their own.
Customers and scheduling elsewhere
A CRM and booking links still live in separate tools.
Connecting AI assistants today
Teams using Claude or ChatGPT want an MCP server they can connect now.

Customers
Customers alongside projects

- Booking pages synced with Google or Outlook
- Deals linked to the project they are for
