Nossa opinião: Basecamp is easier to pick up, but Shortcut is more powerful long-term.

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. Shortcut counters with Kanban and timeline views built for dev sprints and Deep GitHub, GitLab, and Sentry integrations.
Basecamp's Achilles heel: no gantt charts, no time tracking, no custom fields — intentionally opinionated but limiting for complex work. Shortcut's: non-technical teams struggle with the developer-centric terminology and workflow assumptions. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Conclusão
If you value message boards and times remotos que valorizam, go with Basecamp. If times de software que matters more, Shortcut is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
