This platform provided that service in an easy to use way. The younger employees very much enjoyed the app format as well. Pros We appreciated the communication features between management and our employees. It also streamlined the scheduling process, provided some HR tools, and integrated with payroll. Cons It is not suitable for a larger business as it's functionality is more on the basic side. We only had 10 paid employees, but we also had 40+ volunteers. While the app was great for scheduling our paid employees, we struggled using it for the volunteers. Alternatives considered [7shifts](https://www.capterra.com/p/123038/7shifts-Restaurant-Scheduling/)[Connecteam](https://www.capterra.com/p/153140/Connecteam/) Reason for choosing Homebase We went with Homebase at first because they did have a free version and as a small business that was used to handling scheduling in house, we were skeptical on if we really needed it. Within a month of using the software we realized how crucial it was for us. Review Source KG Kylee G. Director of youth and internship ministries Non-Profit Organization Management Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Great program that’s easy to use!" August 24, 2025 5.0 Overall I have been very impressed with Homebase and its ease of use. It doesn’t require a ton of training for new employees and easy to edit time clock errors from my phone! Pros I love using Homebase for my time keeping program for a college internship I run. I love the feature that I can see where they clocked in and out from so I can make sure they truly were at work when I have a day off. The ability to message all employees at once is very convenient when we have an important message to get out. I do feel like it’s a good value. Cons You are not able to download specific costs of roles which I wish you could. I do several grants and need then information for reporting. Review Source SD Sean D. Owner Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "This program will help you save some money. " October 29, 2025 4.0 We started using this about 4 years ago, as a way to help manage our schedule and payroll a bit better, and the idea that employees could swap shifts and have it only approved by MGMT online was very appealing. Pros I like the layout of the program, and the ease of use to get started. It's solid for time-tracking my employees, and they enjoy being able to access their schedule online Cons It's a touch pricey if you have more than one store, and the customer support, while not terrible, does take a little time to get through to. Review Source RW Randy W. Owner Health, Wellness and Fitness Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Home Base Meets Our Needs" July 13, 2025 5.0 It's been great. I hope they keep their basic features free indefinitely. I've been using them since 2017 ever since I've been using the Clover Mini. Pros It's free for the features that I need which is their time clock app. I'm able to easily edit the time clock as needed and it takes a picture of the person signing in to confirm the person. Cons Nothing that I can think of b/c it's a free so I can't complain. In addition, I don't use all their features so I can't comment on that. Review Source KM Kay M. Office Coordinator Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Best Friend of Small Businesses" April 30, 2025 5.0 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. 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. Alternatives considered [Workyard](https://www.capterra.com/p/215558/Workyard/) Reason for choosing Homebase Pricing and features were simply better and more easily accessible on Homebase. Switched from [Crew](https://www.capterra.com/p/165481/Crew/) Pricing and features were simply better and more easily accessible on Homebase. Review Source CS Curtis S. Manager on Duty Retail Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Effortless scheduling and time sheets for the whole team" June 16, 2025 4.0 Overall Homebase was a very easy, and reliable workplace app that made scheduling and time sheets a breeze. Pros Very relatable time clock, with zero hiccups over the years. Quite easy scheduling and also for booking time off. Cons Location access was not always accurate, and was easy for employees to falsely modify hours. Customer support eventually helped! Review Source LP Lina P. Office Manager Mental Health Care Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great program" June 19, 2025 5.0 We really liked it overall. We have very few problems and multiple users. I could easily see my staffs hours. Pros Easy to use. Easy to adjust time, log in, lock user log in. Ability to add and change times as well as verify if they were correct. Cons Sometimes logging in could be a challenge but it wasnt overall bad at all. We had genuinely good luck using this program. Switched from [Auris](https://www.capterra.com/p/195073/Heartland-Payroll-HR/) Ease of use. This program was much easier overall Review Source MP Melissa P. Owner Restaurants Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "A+ choice, glad I switched" February 5, 2025 5.0 Excellent. Would 100% choose again. Have been using Homebase for over a year after switching from a large competitor. So happy I switched. Pros Ease of use; support staff is easy to contact, knowledgable, and extremely nice. Love all the features- payroll, tax collection and payment, ability for staff to exchange shifts, messaging feature, data gathering, scheduling, organization of onboarding. Homebase also works with MD/Dc tax reciprocity. Cons Geo-fencing doesn't always work with off-off brand old phones Alternatives considered [Gusto](https://www.capterra.com/p/131882/Gusto/) Reason for choosing Homebase Tax reciprocity filing between Md and DC Switched from [7shifts](https://www.capterra.com/p/123038/7shifts-Restaurant-Scheduling/) Initially because 7Shifts could not file with holding in two jurisdictions. We have employees in Maryland and DC Review Source JS Jejuan S. Owner Banking Used the software for: I used a free trial ### "Software Evaluation " July 12, 2025 2.0 Needs upgrade in software. Not something I would subscribe too. Got a lot of things need to work on. I give it 4 Pros Timesheets and worksheets. You get to create work schedules in advance and keep track of employees time and hours. Cons Payroll, it's not integrated in the mobile app. Only for desktop version.

More features I can do with this payroll Review Source KH Kyra H. Practice Manager Veterinary Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Homebase Review" February 28, 2025 5.0 It's been great. I actually prefer using Homebase over my company's actual payroll/scheduling system. Pros It's super easy to put together a team schedule, Cons I wish that you could add a lunch break within the shift you are scheduling without having to split it up and make it two separate shifts on the same day.

" September 4, 2025 5.0 Overall it's been a great experience, customer service has been very helpful when needed, and the platform is easy to use, along with the mobile app. Pros It's ease of use! Super helpful for scheduling, communication and accessing team contact information quickly and effectively. Cons I exclusively use it for volunteers right now, it'd be really helpful if there was a setting that was specifically for volunteers, so that they didn't get a bunch of information that didn't pertain to them. Review Source JH Junaid H. CEO Furniture Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Homebase Review" March 4, 2025 2.0 Not great at all. Terrible user interface and everything seems scattered. 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. Switched from [Connecteam](https://www.capterra.com/p/153140/Connecteam/) Connecteam's free trial is limited to a maximum of 10 users. Our admin team takes up 3 users, so we only have spots for 7 workers. To not be limited to just 7 workers on app, we moved to Homebase.

With that in mind, the parts of the program that we do use has been awesome. We can keep track of employee wages, sub contractors hours, Pros I like the easy layout.
