Zenhub vs Basecamp Pricing (2026)

How do these two stack up on price? Here's what each one costs, what you get, and where the value sits.

Zenhub

$0/mo

$7/mo

Custom

$0/mo

$299/mo

$15/mo

Which one is cheaper?: Zenhub starts lower at $7/mo, compared to $15/mo for Basecamp.
Can I use either one for free?: Both offer free plans, so you can try each without paying. Start with whichever fits your workflow better and upgrade when you hit the limits.
How do they charge?: Different approach here. Zenhub 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. Zenhub: At $4.99–$7.50/seat, Zenhub undercuts Linear and sits well below Jira's mid-market pricing, positioning itself as the scrappy, developer-first alternative for teams already living in GitHub. They're not chasing enterprise-first buyers — they're trying to win bottoms-up in engineering orgs that find Jira overkill. 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.
