Basecamp vs Height — Wer gewinnt?
Wähle Basecamp, wenn: Remote-Teams, die Einfachheit und asynchrone Kommunikation schätzen — mehr als granulares Taskmanagement
Wähle Height, wenn: Produkt- und Engineering-Teams, die AI in jede Projektaktion eingebaut haben wollen — nicht nachträglich draufgeschraubt
Unsere Einschätzung: Basecamp is easier to pick up, but Height is more powerful long-term.

Der wahre Unterschied
Both offer free tiers, so the real question is what you get when you start paying.
Basecamp stands out with Message boards and To-do lists. Height counters with AI-powered task creation and prioritization and Cross-team project views with filtering.
Basecamp's Achilles heel: no gantt charts, no time tracking, no custom fields — intentionally opinionated but limiting for complex work. Height's: young product with a smaller ecosystem — integrations and templates lag behind asana and linear. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Fazit
If you value message boards and remote-teams, die einfachheit und, go with Basecamp. If produkt- und engineering-teams, die matters more, Height is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
