Step-by-step: download invoices from Basecamp

  1. 1

    Sign in at the 37signals Launchpad

    Basecamp billing does not live inside the Basecamp app itself. Go to launchpad.37signals.com and sign in with the same account you use for Basecamp. The Launchpad is the shared account dashboard that 37signals uses across Basecamp and HEY, so your login will show every product tied to that email. If you own more than one Basecamp account (common for agencies with a personal account plus a client account), the Launchpad is also where you switch between them.

  2. 2

    Pick the right account and open Adminland

    From the Launchpad, click the Basecamp account you are billing under. Inside Basecamp, click your avatar in the top-right and choose Adminland. Basecamp calls the admin area Adminland, not Settings or Admin Console. Only account owners see the billing sections. Regular members and clients invited as guests cannot access it at all, which is the point.

  3. 3

    Open Payments and receipts

    In Adminland, click Payments and receipts. This page shows the active plan, the payment method on file, the next renewal date, and a list of every past payment. Basecamp labels them receipts rather than invoices, but they carry the same fields an accountant needs. Date, amount, plan name, and 37signals as the seller are all there.

  4. 4

    Download the PDF for each receipt

    Click any row in the receipt history to open the document, then use the Download or Print to PDF option in the top-right. If your tax jurisdiction requires a formal invoice rather than a receipt, 37signals support can reissue any document as a VAT-compliant invoice on request. That request has to go through support@37signals.com, not the Adminland UI.

  5. 5

    Check HEY billing separately if you use it

    If you also pay for HEY email, that subscription is a separate product with its own receipts, even though it shares the Launchpad login. Open hey.com, sign in, and go to Settings to find its billing page. The payment method may be the same card, but the receipts do not land on the Basecamp page and will not show up in Adminland.

About Basecamp billing

Basecamp is the project management tool that famously refuses to act like the rest of SaaS, and billing is where that attitude shows up first. You do not pay per seat on the flagship plans. You do not manage it from inside the Basecamp app the way you do in Asana or ClickUp. You do not even buy it from Basecamp exactly. You buy it from 37signals, the parent company.

Receipts live on the 37signals Launchpad, the account layer that also powers HEY email. Most finance teams spend their first Basecamp close wondering why the vendor on the card statement says 37signals and why the amount does not match any seat count.

If your headcount fluctuates and your Basecamp total never moves, that is not a bug. The flat-fee plan (Pro Unlimited at roughly $299 per month, or the standard tier at roughly $99 per month) does not scale with users. You pay the same whether you add ten people or fifty. The Per User plan at around $15 per user is the exception, and its receipts list a seat count. Check your receipt to confirm which one you are actually on.

About Basecamp

Basecamp is a project management and team collaboration tool built by 37signals, a privately held Delaware corporation headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. The company was founded in 1999 and launched Basecamp in 2004, making it one of the longest-running SaaS products still under original ownership. 37signals also sells HEY, a paid email service, which is billed separately but shares the same Launchpad account dashboard at launchpad.37signals.com. Basecamp pricing is flat-fee on the main tiers (around $99 per month for the standard plan, $299 per month for Pro Unlimited) rather than per seat, with a smaller Per User plan at roughly $15 per user for teams that prefer seat-based billing. Receipts are issued by 37signals LLC and delivered as PDFs through the Adminland page.

Why people stop doing this by hand

One Basecamp account on an annual flat-fee plan, paid by one card, is the easy case. You see one receipt once a year and the job is done in three minutes. The problems start when the setup is a bit more real.

Agencies almost always run more than one 37signals account. A personal one for their own team, a shared one they set up for a long-term client, maybe a second client account that got handed back to them to keep paying. Each account has its own Launchpad entry, its own Adminland, its own billing contact, and its own receipt history. None of that aggregates anywhere. A five-person agency with three client accounts and a team HEY subscription is already juggling four separate receipt trails every month.

Then there is the labelling problem. The card statement says 37signals, not Basecamp, and finance software sometimes guesses wrong about what the charge is for. The receipt lists the plan name rather than a seat count, so anyone matching against a headcount report will be confused. And because the Per User plan mixes with the flat-fee plans across different accounts in the same organization, the same vendor can appear with wildly different amounts on different receipts.

Basecamp is one of the portals our Chrome Extension auto-detects. Install it, open Adminland on any 37signals account you own, and the extension captures new receipts in the background. No OAuth flow, no forwarding address setup, no clicking through each account one at a time. It works alongside the main Inbox Ledger sync for any 37signals receipts that arrive as email PDFs.

Next step

One account, one flat-fee plan, a single bookkeeping contact: Adminland on its own is enough. Multiple 37signals accounts, a mix of Basecamp and HEY, or a finance team that wants every receipt in one place without remembering who has account owner access: connect Basecamp to Inbox Ledger once and stop piecing it together every close.

Where to look in the dashboard

  • launchpad.37signals.com is the account dashboard, above both Basecamp and HEY
  • Inside Basecamp, Adminland is the admin area, reached from the avatar menu in the top-right
  • Adminland then Payments and receipts is the direct path to the receipt history
  • HEY billing is separate, reached through Settings inside hey.com, not Basecamp
  • Enterprise or legacy Basecamp Classic accounts may have their billing handled by email from 37signals support rather than through Adminland

Before you start — quick checklist

  • The receipt shows 37signals as the seller, with the Chicago Illinois address visible
  • The plan name on the receipt matches what you expect, whether flat-fee Pro Unlimited or Per User
  • Your company name and billing address appear on the receipt, not just your personal email
  • VAT or local tax is broken out if you added a tax ID in Adminland
  • The document downloaded as a finalized PDF, not a browser print preview
  • HEY receipts, if applicable, are saved separately and not mistaken for Basecamp invoices

Pro tips

  • Basecamp pricing is unusual. Most SaaS charges per seat. 37signals sells Basecamp as a flat monthly or annual fee (roughly $99/month for the standard plan and $299/month for Pro Unlimited), with a separate Per User plan around $15 per user for smaller teams. That means your receipt total does not move with headcount on the flat plans, which is great for budgeting but confusing when finance tries to reconcile against a seat count that changes.
  • Annual billing saves about two months versus monthly. The receipt shows a single large charge once a year rather than twelve smaller ones, so it is easy to miss in a monthly close if nobody flagged the renewal date.
  • The Launchpad at launchpad.37signals.com is the 37signals account layer that sits above both Basecamp and HEY. Bookmark it. Going through basecamp.com first adds an extra redirect and sometimes lands you in the wrong account.
  • 37signals is a Delaware corporation based in Chicago, Illinois. Receipts show a US address and are denominated in USD by default. If your accountant needs a local-currency equivalent, you have to convert manually or rely on your card statement.
  • Adminland access is strictly tied to account ownership. Clients invited to a project, contractors, and regular team members never see billing. If your finance person needs ongoing access, add them as an account owner in Adminland first.
  • Basecamp does not expose billing through its API. The Adminland page is the only self-serve path, which is one reason most teams either forward the receipt emails or let Inbox Ledger pull them automatically.
