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. Smartsheet counters with Spreadsheet-style project management and Gantt, card, and calendar views.
Basecamp's Achilles heel: no gantt charts, no time tracking, no custom fields — intentionally opinionated but limiting for complex work. Smartsheet's: it’s a spreadsheet pretending to be a pm tool — power users love it, everyone else gets confused. Pick whichever weakness you can live with.
Conclusão
If you value message boards and times remotos que valorizam, go with Basecamp. If times que vivem em matters more, Smartsheet is your pick. Neither is a bad choice — but one will fit your workflow better.
