Our verdict

Choose Homebase when SMB hourly scheduling and time clocks priced per location is the job — not when you need restaurant-only WFM, multi-entity Deputy, or a core HRIS. Compare Connecteam for deskless hubs, When I Work for cheap per-user scheduling, Deputy for mid-market compliance, and 7shifts for restaurants. Scores reflect first-party documentation as of 2026-08-17 — not hands-on product testing. Confirm current packaging, minimums and usage rates on the vendor site before purchase.

Best for

  • Small hourly businesses (retail, cafes, local services) that need scheduling + time in one app
  • Teams that want a free ≤10-employee starter before paying per location
  • Operators who may add payroll later rather than buying Gusto first

Not ideal for

  • Restaurant groups standardised on 7shifts
  • Multi-entity mid-market WFM (Deputy) or deskless comms hubs (Connecteam)
  • Buyers whose primary job is core HRIS or structured ATS

Bottom line

Free Basic (1 location, ≤10 employees). Paid per location annual: Essentials $24 / Plus $56 / All-in-One $96/mo (monthly higher). Payroll add-on. 14-day trial. Confirm on joinhomebase.com/pricing.
