What you give up vs Basecamp

  • Some integrations and advanced features are reserved for the paid cloud/enterprise plans
  • Reporting and automation are limited versus monday.com
  • No native mobile apps
  • Smaller plugin ecosystem

What you gain

  • • Full data ownership — self-host Leantime on your own infrastructure.
  • • No per-seat SaaS bill (Basecamp: flat fee that still rules out self-hosting).
  • • Open-source code you can audit and extend (AGPL-3.0).
