#225$ for a project?
I don't even know if it's better than Asana what is free for personal use.

A keen demonstration of price sensitivity.

#5Since trying out the new Basecamp, I was saddened that I could no longer use it for my side projects any more because the new UI felt really intuitive to use, but it wasn't worth $20/mo for things I'm making $0 on. I felt a bit alienated when they dropped the free plan.
It's interesting to see the one-time-fee model they're trying out here and with Breeze, and I wonder how it'll work out for them. Personally, this is very happy news. I'm completely willing to shell out $25 just once to have a great, uncluttered, simple tool for managing my pet projects again. Way to go!

#6For "home improvement projects, hobby projects, volunteer projects, school projects, etc."
with my best Lionel Richard : Trello? Is it me you're looking for?

#7I'm interested to see what direction they head with these one-time-cost plans. If you like BaseCamp and would derive any value from it, $25 is a really good deal -- I don't see "free" as being all that much more attractive.

#8It would be a shame to see people sink their money in this without realizing there are way better services out there for this type of thing. For example, Evernote Premium is just $5.00 per month or $45.00 per year and you get way better features, syncing across platforms, storage space, sharing, etc. That [Evernote example] costs less than 2 Basecamp Personal projects.
I really think they should look into lowering the pricing to make this product more competitive. 37signals seems to be coming out with some crumby products lately. First Breeze, and now this. Sighhh.

#10So it's 25$ per project? I'm not sure people will pay that for school projects or a couple of one-off projects.
For some more expensive projects, sure I can see it (home improvement, dissertation)
The pricepoint seems a bit high especially since there's free stuff that is pretty good (I personally use Trello)
Either way it's probably better to start with a higher pricepoint. Good luck :)
