What is difference between Siasto and Basecamp? Why would customer chose Siasto instead Basecamp? What is Siasto's advantage over Basecamp?

  They seem very similar, minus the discussions metaphor Basecamp has (looks like documents/tasks are expected to be enough, with the documents being uploaded or created via wysiwyg editor). One nice difference is Basecamp no longer offers a free plan, which although it's not obvious from their page, Siasto does. I'm a bit early on in my current project to start forking over $20/mo for a PM tool, but I do love the new Basecamp UI...

    15 days free trial doesn't seem to be comparable with a free plan... either that or there's actually a free plan but not mentioned anywhere other than "Try Free".

      Yes, we should definitely make this more clear: Once your free trial expires, you can continue using Siasto for free with however many teammates you want, but without the features listed in the paid plans and a more restricted space limit.

  I also like the integrations that they're offering (Dropbox, Google Docs, Gmail). The new Basecamp feels like a bit of a step backwards as well in that there's no API for 3rd parties any more (or data export, for that matter), and no optimized iPhone version any more. They'll likely add them back, but those are things I know some of us relied on in the original Basecamp. Mobile usage is increasingly important too, and that's something 37signals doesn't seem to get. Will be interesting to see if Siasto can one-up them on that front, although it looks like they're not there yet (they did just launch, so we'll have to give them some time :).
