They don't have the free and $12 and $24 plans listed on the website anymore as far as I can tell, but perhaps you are able to downgrade to one of those plans after signing up for one of the other plans.

Free plan isn't displayed, but available at https://signup.37signals.com/basecamp/Free/signup/new

How can someone get to this if they don't know the URL?

I made a guess at the url based on how they format their live urls. I guess this could be one negative of having nice urls.

The current signup urls are:

Maximum: https://signup.37signals.com/basecamp/Max/signup/new

Premium: https://signup.37signals.com/basecamp/Premium/signup/new

Plus: https://signup.37signals.com/basecamp/Plus/signup/new

Old Plans:

Basic: https://signup.37signals.com/basecamp/Basic/signup/new

Free: https://signup.37signals.com/basecamp/Free/signup/new

Oh, of course. I meant people who wouldn't think of hacking the url ;^). So it looks like the old plans are there but they just don't want to make it easy to get to them.

There is a mention of the Free Plan on the Sign Up page, right under the Max/Premium/Plus boxes.
