Our take
Pick Asana if one or two people who will stay on Personal at $0 while they open a first Service / List, then Starter at $10.99/user/month yearly when the team needs more than two editors. Pick Basecamp if small teams who will stay on Personal (1 project, up to 3 people) at $0 while they open a first Kiln board, then Freelancer at $29/month when they need 3 projects / 5 users — not Pro $79 first unless they need 8
