Runn vs Basecamp FAQ
- Which one is cheaper?
- Runn starts lower at $7/mo, compared to $15/mo for Basecamp.
- Can I use either one for free?
- Basecamp has a free plan. Runn doesn't — though they do offer a free trial.
- How do they charge?
- Different approach here. Runn uses per-seat pricing, while Basecamp goes with hybrid. That changes the math depending on your team size and usage.
- Which one is a better deal?
- Depends on what you need. Runn: At $7–$11 per resource seat, Runn is pitching itself as a mid-market alternative to heavier tools like Kantata or Planview — cheaper than the enterprise incumbents but more purpose-built than generic PM tools trying to do resource planning. They're going after professional services firms and agencies that need real capacity planning without a six-figure contract. Basecamp: They're not competing on price at the low end — $15/user puts them in the same ballpark as Asana and Monday. The real play is Pro Unlimited at $299 flat, which is a direct shot at mid-size teams getting nickel-and-dimed by per-seat tools. They're positioning as the anti-Jira for teams tired of watching their PM bill scale with every new hire.
