Work­sec­tion is not for

• Those who want to have exten­sive cus­tomiza­tion options and work with tem­plates. Work­sec­tion does not pro­vide ready-made tem­plates to use in your work.
• Teams that require built-in chat. If your team needs advanced com­mu­ni­ca­tion fea­tures such as built-in chat, Work­sec­tion may not be what you’re look­ing for.

Base­camp

Base­camp is for

• Small teams of up to 50 peo­ple. Base­camp is per­fect for small teams that are in need of an easy-to-use project man­age­ment tool.

Base­camp is not for

• Teams on a bud­get. Base­camp is a fee-based ser­vice, and the cost of the ser­vice is high in com­par­i­son to the com­pe­ti­tion. The lack of a free ver­sion can be lim­it­ing for those look­ing for a cost-effec­tive way to man­age projects.
• Those expect­ing live chat sup­port. Base­camp offers sup­port through a tick­et sys­tem, which can be incon­ve­nient for teams that are in need of imme­di­ate help or a quick response to queries. It can also be dif­fi­cult to use in the case of urgent issues.
