Real-time clock-in visibility shows who’s on shift, late, or nearing overtime, giving operators full control through the Homebase time clock app and reducing labor-cost surprises. Smart labor insights display sales, scheduled labor, actual labor, and labor-to-sales ratios, helping leaders monitor costs, forecast needs, and make data-informed staffing decisions. Admins can manage payroll, HR tasks, performance notes, hiring, and onboarding all in one place, streamlining operations and eliminating the need for multiple systems. Employees receive automatic shift reminders, schedule updates, and team messages, reducing no-shows and improving communication so the team stays aligned and on time. ## Quick Stats & Ratings | Metric | Rating | Detail | | **Overall** | **4.6/5** | 1142 Reviews | | Ease of Use | 4.6/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Customer Support | 4.5/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Value for Money | 4.6/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Features | 4.5/5 | Based on overall reviews | | Recommendation percentage | 90% | (9/10 Likelihood to recommend) | ## About the vendor - **Company**: Homebase - **Location**: San Francisco, US - **Founded**: 2014 ## Commercial Context - **Starting Price**: US$30,00 - **Pricing model**: Usage Based (Free version available) (Free Trial) - **Pricing Details**: Homebase offers four distinct pricing tiers on a monthly basis, tailored to varying business needs: Basic ($0/location/month): Designed for new teams, supporting one location with up to 20 employees.

Also the time sheets are great for tracking my employees time and adding manager notes\! > > **Cons**: While I do like scheduling- when I am building schedules sometimes things change- when I add a note to the shift and want to apply that note to other shifts already scheduled, it'll add a new shift instead of adding it to the existing one. It makes having to edit my published schedule VERY annoying. > > Overall, I really like HomeBase and I recommend it to the other businesses I have consulted/worked with. ----- ### "Best Friend of Small Businesses" — 5.0/5 > **Kay** | *30 April 2025* | Architecture & Planning | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Extremely intuitive UI; easy to use for both administrators AND employees. The communication features, and security admin features were instrumental for the company I used it for. > > **Cons**: The only complaint I ever had was that terminated employees could still use the messaging feature after termination as it would take some time to update and remove them. It created a few...situations for us, with disgruntled terminated employees. > > Homebase was extremely helpful when I was doing franchise openings with multiple locations for restaurants. It allowed each location to have chats, announcements, schedules, and had everything neatly separated. The payroll feature was very cool for the short time we used it. ----- ### "Homebase Review" — 2.0/5 > **Junaid** | *04 March 2025* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 2.0/10 > > **Pros**: It handles employee weekly pay easily, job scheduling, and in-app messenging. > > **Cons**: The mobile app is horrendous, very difficult to navigage scheduled jobs, assigned jobs, and completed jobs. Cant add job photos, hard to tell if a shift was picked up by an employee after posting. Using the desktop version is not feasible as we need to access the app on the go. > > Not great at all. Terrible user interface and everything seems scattered. ----- ### "Great tool for Vet Practices" — 5.0/5 > **Karen** | *03 January 2026* | Veterinary | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: My favorite thing about Homebase has got to be the ease of having it all in one place. I can look at my timecard and my schedule on my day off. I'm always connected to my team wherever I go. > > **Cons**: I like everything so far, I have not encountered any issues with security or any bugs or other issues. > > We use Homebase daily in a small Veterinary Hospital. With Homebase, we are able to track our hours worked and look at our schedule from our personal phones. We also use it as a communication tool, we have created channels where we can discuss team with one or many people from the team. ----- ### "This is a great place for scheduling and team communication." — 5.0/5 > **Ashley** | *23 November 2024* | Consumer Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love the scheduling part as it is super easy to navigate. This is super beneficial for adding time off, appointments or remembering holidays. > > **Cons**: I don't like how you have to pay for premium features, but I understand that is how Homebase makes money just like any other site. AKA thus far I have no complaints. This is a great app and its easy for my staff to use. > > This is a fantastic website/app. I use this mainly for scheduling and staff communications. It is easily navigational for my staff and very user friendly for my use too. This has been as asset to my work place. Staff can request days or time off with ease. This is also fantastic to help with payroll budget tracking. You can also keep track of staff information like emergency contact etc. which is a necessity to have on hand. There is a timeclock built into this app which I don't use, however, from what I explored of that portion of the app it is very helpful too. One of my favourite features is the hiring aspect of this app. You click on the hiring tab and you can post one job listing that will translate to all hiring sites I know of (Indeed, google etc). This is perfect to get all the resumes in one place and it tracks things like if they have their foodsafe certificate, or any other requirements. Long story short - 100% would recommend.
