Basecamp owns the idea
Basecamp’s hill charts helped popularize a better question than “what percentage is this done?”: has the team figured out the work yet? They work naturally alongside Basecamp’s projects, messages, and to-dos.
If your team runs its work in Basecamp, its built-in hill charts may be the right place to start.
A workspace focused on project understanding
Hillchart is built around meaningful scopes and their changing certainty. It adds snapshots, view-only share links, embeds, timeline history, attention signals, and API, MCP, and webhook connections for workflows that need them.
Choose the home that fits your workflow
Use Basecamp when you want hill charts inside the broader Basecamp project experience. Use Hillchart when a dedicated, shareable uncertainty view is useful across the tools where your team already works.
- Basecamp: hill charts within Basecamp projects
- Hillchart: a focused hill-chart workspace
- Both: use the hill chart to discuss understanding, not estimated completion
