I guess the point of inflection on their user graph is about 2016? https://basecamp.com/about down the bottom

An older version of the graph gives more detail:

The two upticks in account numbers were when new versions of the products where released. I honestly forget which these were, 2 and 3?

My memory is probably a little earlier, but somewhere around the 2014-2016 range, when growth stops on that graph. Work stopped using the paid tier at the same time as they were looking at a huge 200 or 400%+ price increase. So I imagine it started quite an exodus of non-enterprise level users...
Work ended up finding something better at less than the Basecamp old price, let alone the new ridiculous one, though we did have to try out a fair few to get there. :)

That graph is "artistic" and doesn't represent reality. Check out this earlier, far more reality accurate graph:

You might not have liked the new pricing, but from memory signups only ever acellerated.
