About Homebase

Homebase is a comprehensive platform designed to simplify the management of hourly work for businesses of all sizes. Through its deployment, Homebase addresses critical operational facets such as employee scheduling, time tracking, payroll processing, hiring, onboarding, and team communication, among others. This all-in-one approach converges towards enhancing operational efficiency and compliance, reducing the administrative burden on managers and business owners.

At the core of Homebase's offerings is its intuitive employee scheduling system, aimed at eliminating the chaos often associated with managing work schedules. By providing an online, always-up-to-date schedule, Homebase allows for adjustments to be made from anywhere, instantly sharing updates with the team with a single tap. This flexibility is further extended through its time clock feature, which transforms any device into a time clock for tracking hours, breaks, and overtime, thus moving away from paper-based systems and spreadsheets.

Central to leveraging Homebase's capabilities is its payroll feature. It notably simplifies the payroll process by automatically converting timesheets into wages, calculating taxes, a...

A user friendly yet customizable one-stop shop for managing employees and teams

An excellent experience overall as the software is so user friendly yet offers a lot of advanced features and customization. If you are lucky to have two employers both using Homebase, schedule management along with tracking earnings, team messages, etc. is effortless because you can have multiple teams on the same app that you can toggle between.

Pros:

The most beneficial feature of Homebase for me now is the ease of managing multiple schedules if multiple employers are using the app as you can easily toggle back and forth between teams. It also remains incredibly versatile for scheduling, clocking in for shifts, managing hours and adjusting work hours, as well as communicating across the team/management. I also like that you can keep track of hours and anticipated earnings to ensure hours are clocked in accurately and earnings are also computed accurately. The fact that it can be accessed on a mobile device and mobile device can be used to clock-in is extra convenient too.

Cons:

Notifications not coming through consistently remains an issue periodically but has significantly reduced compared to before. The only other issue is that the clocking in feature on a mobile device can be a little inconsistent and not always work.

Vendor Response

Thank you for such a thoughtful and detailed review — we really appreciate you sharing your experience! We’re especially glad to hear that managing multiple teams across different employers has been seamless for you. The ability to toggle between teams, track hours and anticipated earnings, communicate easily, and clock in from a mobile device are all features we’ve worked hard to make intuitive and reliable, so it’s great to know they’re making a real difference in your day-to-day. We also appreciate your honest feedback about notifications and occasional mobile clock-in inconsistencies. While we’re glad to hear improvements have already been noticeable, your input helps us continue refining performance and reliability. Thanks again for highlighting both the versatility and ease of use — that balance is exactly what we aim to deliver for teams of all sizes.

Good for the Basics

If you’re running a small-to-medium team, especially in hourly or shift-based work, Homebase offers a strong, user‐friendly option for scheduling, time-tracking, and communication. It ticks a lot of boxes in terms of ease of use and value. However, if you have a larger operation or are looking for those better features, you may need to upgrade or consider a different product.

Functionality

Pros:

I really like how easy Homebase makes scheduling and tracking time. It’s simple to set up shifts, and everyone can clock in or check their schedule right from their phone. The mobile app keeps everything in one place, and the fact that there’s a free plan made it perfect for small teams just getting started.

Cons:

The mobile app can be a bit glitchy or slow at times, and more useful features are only available on the paid plans. So while the free version is great for basics, you might need to upgrade as your team grows.

Reasons for choosing Homebase

For me, Homebase feels like the better choice because it’s simple, affordable, and easy to use right away. It covers everything I actually need, like scheduling, time tracking, and team communication, but without all the extra complexity that comes with larger WFM systems. If I ever ran a much bigger operation with multiple locations and more advanced reporting needs, I might consider a full WFM platform, but for a small, hands-on team like mine, Homebase just makes day-to-day management smoother and less stressful.

Vendor Response

Thank you for the thoughtful review. We’re glad to hear Homebase has been helpful for scheduling, time tracking, and team communication—especially for small, hourly teams getting started. We appreciate the feedback on mobile performance and feature availability across plans. Our team is continually improving app reliability and expanding capabilities as businesses grow. Thanks again for sharing your experience and for highlighting the value and simplicity Homebase provides for shift-based teams.

Great tool for Vet Practices

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.

Gets the job done

Overall, it was good. We had a small employee base using it and it got the job done. It was a bit manual since we use a different payroll provider and had to manually input the hours. I'd recommend it for smaller businesses.

Functionality

Pros:

My favorite feature is that everyone could see who was currently clocked in. This made sure no one was contacting others during a time while they were off the clock. Our new timekeeping system through payroll's time and labor does not have this feature.

Cons:

It did not have the ability for employees to update their own time cards with a request to an administrator. As the admin, I had to ask for a correction and manually updated versus receiving a request and simply approving.

Vendor Response

Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re glad to hear the visibility into who was clocked in helped support better communication across your team, and that Homebase worked well for your small employee base. We also appreciate your feedback around time card adjustments and payroll workflows. Input like this helps us understand how teams use Homebase alongside other systems, and we’re grateful you took the time to leave a thoughtful review.
