La vraie différence
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. Linear counters with Keyboard-first navigation and Cycles and roadmaps.
Basecamp's Achilles heel: no gantt charts, no time tracking, no custom fields — intentionally opinionated but limiting for complex work. Linear's: built for devs by devs — non-technical teams will feel alienated by the workflow assumptions. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Le verdict
If you value message boards and les équipes remote qui, go with Basecamp. If les équipes d'ingénierie qui matters more, Linear is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
