A diferença real
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.
Conclusão
