Tech support has always been great to work with and issues are handled in a timely manner. I love the ease of use and user friendly mobile application. Pros Ease of creating shifts, schedules. User friendly interface. Easy drag and drop shift assignments. Reasonable costs. Cons I don’t really have any cons about this product.

Director Child Day Care Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great employee management software for small business" July 17, 2025 5.0 This platform has been a game changer for my small business. It is easy to use, their support is always prompt and helpful, and it saves me several hours of work every week! Pros has easy to use features, I didn't feel like I needed a long training session to learn how to use the platform. It's intuitive, user-friendly, and packed with features. We love the fact that scheduling, timecards, payroll and employee messaging are all in one system, our previous system only offered payroll. Cons The auto-scheduling tool seemed so exciting, since I run a daycare and we have constantly changing schedule needs. However, it never worked well at all. I tried putting in all of the information but it would schedule people all over the place, leave classrooms without a teacher, or schedule staff for times they weren't available. Switched from [Gusto](https://www.capterra.com/p/131882/Gusto/) Gusto gave us so many headaches with the system going down at random times, and their customer support was never very helpful.

Overall it is good and easy to use, however they have some back end problems. When logging out of one of my accounts and into another, things get messed up. Sometimes it logs me into the wrong account. Sometimes it logs me into the right account but won't show any data. On the PC I can use incognito mode to log in and it is all good, but the app doesn't work that way, so I have to use the app for just one of my companies. That is a bit of a pain. The pricing is fair, but if the backend issues don't get resolved, I will look for a different solution. Pros is a easy software to learn. It covers the basics of what we need to do to schedule our team and communicate with them. Cons There are features that would be helpful but are not included lower tier plans, but don't warrant the change in pricing to go to a higher tier. For example, overtime calculation across sites. Or another example would be attaching documents to team members. These things would help, but the price jump to turn them on is too extreme. Review Source Response from Homebase January 27, 2026 Hi — thank you for your thoughtful feedback.

March 12, 2026 5.0 It is a great place for chat and communication. Provides real-time clock-in and clock-out for employees. It is secure for management to make their schedule, and for employees to access it on their mobile devices. It is great for management as it also offers payroll integration. It provides checklist, and task reducing making communication easy. Pros can be accessed from anywhere with just a few clicks. Homebase helps reduce a lot of manual labor. It is definitely value for money as it can be accessed for free. If not, Homebase also has flexible pricing based on the company's needs. It has readily available customer support. Cons It is simple to use, so really nothing to like least about . Considering that the Basics is free, a lot of small businesses can benefit from it. However, if you have more than 10 employees, for example, you can pay for their next cheaper version, and pay a few extra cents to add each extra employee, and benefit more of its features. Review Source Response from Homebase March 12, 2026 Thank you for the kind and detailed review! We're glad Homebase is helping reduce manual work and that our flexible pricing makes it accessible for businesses of all sizes. It's great to hear the scheduling, communication, and payroll integration features are all landing well for your team. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience! RR Rimantas R. Site Reliability Engineer Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Different, uncomplicated and the tool is great too." June 11, 2025 5.0 Process flows, communication and messaging between departments. Recruiting, employment contracts, communication with employees and much more. Pros Centralized management of all employees data, with numerous configuration options for working time and contract types. It also offers options for implementing custom requirements and meeting regulatory requirements using APIs, custom workflows and employee questionnaires. Cons We would like to see more export options configurable via the GUI, for example, for creating performance reports based on time tracking. It would also be nice to be able to centrally export and archive all employees data into a single document.

Owner Construction Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Sad sight for any client based company " December 6, 2025 3.0 Not one that I will ever be able to give a chance for my use again. Paid $500!” Roughly for a year. Used it less that 30 days and asked to cancel and refund and 4 month now and have yet to receive my refund. Pros Unfortunately not a highly recommended use for anything. Highly priced for the quality of service to help answer any question or provide any additional assistance on guidance. Cons When setting up payroll for a new business they will not allow you to fully account for state/ federal taxes on payroll until you obtain a UI rating which cannot be done until you pay your first employee $1500+ in payroll payments. So pretty useless to have if they don’t allow you to pay anyone until info is provided which can’t be done until payment was processed Alternatives considered [QuickBooks Online](https://www.capterra.com/p/190778/QuickBooks-Online/) Reason for choosing Homebase Cost effective for a small new business but was not worth the money I spent and lost sadly. Review Source Response from Homebase January 5, 2026 Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience and understand how frustrating this situation has been. We appreciate you taking the time to outline the challenges you encountered with payroll setup and billing.

LLC Member Restaurants Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Homebase for Stand Alone Businesses " April 3, 2025 4.0 We like we use it for two of our businesses. Its easy to understand. Best used for stand alone business not idea for a mobile food truck because there is lot a locations section. Pros The interface. Ease of understanding the software. Easy to train a manager or assistance manager. If you use Clover it is already tied into their software making it easy for clocking in. Hard to get another clocking in program into Clover. Cons Main con is I don't think you can't use it for multiple locations even if its within your same one business. You have to purchase a second or third subscription for multiple locations. Not ideal for a mobile food truck. Much more for stand alone business. Alternatives considered [Connecteam](https://www.capterra.com/p/153140/Connecteam/) Reason for choosing Homebase Scheduling Ease, documents from our hiring software load right in.

March 3, 2025 5.0 The very best decision we have made that reduced our time with payroll and improved our recored keeping! Both management and our staff have been very happy with our move to ! Pros We used ADP for 6 years. When we moved to we decreased our time doing payroll and onboarding. The system is rock solid and very easy to use. When I have a question, they are very responsive. The Homebase team is fantastic! Cons In our business the government requires breaks every 4 hours and in order to make sure that time is deducted by the system, we have to manually enter it for each employee's shift. While it does not take too long, it could easily be automated and I know other payroll system do it automatically. Switched from [ADP Workforce Now](https://www.capterra.com/p/155895/WorkforceNow/) ADP cost too much and had poor integrations with scheduling and remote onboarding and poor document storage.

Pros was user friendly, easy to add and remove employees, and great for record keeping. It was easy to share with my new hires and utilize for time keeping.
