Teams usually look at monday.com when they need more structure: custom fields, timelines, workload views, dashboards across projects and automations. Our [Basecamp vs monday.com comparison](https://www.taskrhino.ca/en-us/project-management-software/basecamp-vs-monday/) goes through the differences. ## What Moves, What We Rebuild, What Cannot Move Data moves through Basecamp's exports and API; customizations such as automations, views and forms are rebuilt in monday.com. ## How the Migration Runs Every step is agreed with you before the next one starts. ### Free assessment We look at your Basecamp projects, item counts, files and automations, and send a fixed quote with the list of what moves, what we rebuild and what cannot move. ### Data map Each part of Basecamp becomes a monday.com board, group, item or column of the right type. You sign off the map, including what to leave behind. ### Test migration We move a sample with its comments and files, and you check it in monday.com. ### Full migration and rebuild We move everything in scope, link the items, and rebuild your automations, views and forms in monday.com. ### Checks and handover We compare item counts board by board, walk your team through the new boards, and hand the export files over to you. ## When Basecamp Is Still the Right Call Moving is not always the answer. Stay on Basecamp, or plan the move carefully, if: - Your team likes Basecamp because there is little to set up and nothing to configure. monday.com gives you more control, which also means more to decide. - You have a few small projects with no comments or files you need to keep. monday.com's Basecamp import or a spreadsheet import is enough. ### Doing it yourself, compared The options monday.com gives you, set against a full migration. Each fact comes from the sources below. | | monday.com's Basecamp import | Spreadsheet import (CSV or Excel) | TaskRhino migration | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | What it brings in | To-dos, from Basecamp 4 only | Not available (Basecamp exports HTML, not spreadsheets) | To-dos, comments, messages, files and schedules | | Structure | A new board from the projects you pick | – | Boards, groups and columns planned with you | | Comments and files | Not listed | – | Comments as updates, files in a Files column | | Automations | Adds a sync for new to-dos | – | Set up for how your team works | The assessment tells you which of these apply before you commit.

You can, if you are on Basecamp 4. monday.com's built-in Basecamp import brings in the to-dos of the projects you pick and adds a sync for new to-dos. Messages, files and comments are not part of it. ### Do comments and attachments move? Basecamp's account export holds every project's messages, lists and files. We copy comments into the item's updates and files into a Files column or a workdoc. ### What happens to our automations, views and forms? No export carries them. We list each one in the assessment and rebuild the ones you still need as monday.com automations, views, forms and dashboards. ### What cannot be moved? Campfire chats and pings: Pings are private, with their own export that Basecamp advises only for legal or HR reasons, and its export help doesn't mention Campfire chats. We check them in your free assessment. Change history (who changed what, and when): An import can't write monday.com's activity log; it starts on the day of the move. Everything else in the table above either moves or is rebuilt in monday.com. ### How long does it take? It depends on how many projects and items you have, how many files, and how much needs rebuilding. The dates are fixed in your quote after the free assessment. ### How much does it cost? It depends on your projects, item counts, files and automations. The assessment is free and ends with a fixed quote. ## Sources What moves and what does not is taken from these official documents, read in October 2026. ### Basecamp: Export your Basecamp data Account owners export a full HTML copy of a project, a selection or the whole account; Pings have a separate export. The [Basecamp 2 guide](https://basecamp.com/help/2/guides/account/exports) lists what each project folder holds: messages, people, dates, lists and files.
