Homebase Reviews & Product Details

We’ve been using Homebase at our boutique for scheduling, time tracking, and team communication, and it has made managing day-to-day operations so much easier. With a retail team and constantly changing schedules, having everything in one place has been a huge help.

The scheduling system is very user-friendly for both managers and employees. We especially love how easy it is for staff to view schedules, request time off, swap shifts, and communicate directly through the app. It has helped reduce scheduling confusion and saved us a lot of time every week.

As a small business owner, I also appreciate how organized and efficient the platform feels. It’s simple to use, reliable, and has helped us streamline operations while keeping everyone on the same page. Overall, Homebase has become an important part of how we run our business, and I would definitely recommend it to other small business owners looking for an easy and effective scheduling solution.

The only thing I don’t like is that I can’t access all information from the app on my phone, I need my computer to access complete information, and I am always doing things on the go Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Homebase is very easy to use and has many great features that make scheduling, time card management, and payroll a breeze. It's extremely valuable for our business, helping us manage and keep track of where everyone is in case of an emergency. We can easily check where someone is and keep better track of weekly hours to ensure everyone is getting the hours they need. The initial setup was very easy too.

One thing that doesn't work too well is making changes to the schedule on the app. There's many times that we want to publish just one day but can't since it doesn't give us the option. So, we have to get on a desktop to make the changes. The only thing I see that would need improvement is like I had mentioned is making the change in the app. If possible, it would be great to have the option to make single day changes in the app without publishing the whole week instead of going to a computer to make those changes.

What I like most about Homebase is that it brings payroll and time tracking together in a single platform. Employees can clock in and out easily, which keeps hour tracking accurate and straightforward. It also removes the need for manual timesheets and helps cut down on errors during payroll processing.

I also appreciate how convenient it is to have everything synced in one place—from hours worked to wages—so payroll runs feel faster and more efficient. The system is easy for both managers and employees to use, and it helps make sure everyone is paid correctly and on time. Overall, it streamlines timekeeping and payroll management in a practical, reliable way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don’t have any major dislikes about Homebase so far. It has been reliable and meets our needs for time tracking and payroll efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how Homebase has significantly reduced my payroll processing time from about two or three hours to just twenty minutes. The setup was really easy, and the Homebase staff helped transfer our information from Paychex over, which was great. Everything I need for payroll is right there and easy to access, so I don't have to navigate all over the website to find things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When staff want to swap shifts or take the shift of another available person, I'm not able to see it when I first log in to Homebase. I go to the dashboard, and sometimes I don't see it there. However, I do receive an email alert about swap requests or accepting open shifts, but I don't see it immediately in Homebase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I’ve been using Homebase for employee scheduling and time tracking, and it’s been very easy to work with. Creating and setting up shifts is straightforward, and I especially appreciate the mobile app because it makes communicating with the team quick and efficient.

That said, there are a couple of areas that could be improved, such as more customization options in reports and the occasional lag with notifications.

Overall, it’s a solid tool for small to medium-sized teams, and I’d recommend it to businesses that want a simple, user-friendly scheduling solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some advanced features are locked behind paid plans, which can make it expensive as your team grows. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It feels very tailor-made for our operation. I use it to create daily and weekly schedules so I can delegate critical tasks to my staff during peak hours. We have no room for error, so having everything clearly planned out matters. Weather forecast is a plus and very useful. Availability options are very handy when staff need to make adjustments.

I haven’t come across any major downfalls so far, as it responds to many of our needs. I did experience a few minor glitches in the past, but they were resolved shortly after I contacted tech support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I use Homebase for work to manage employees clocking in. I appreciate how it made it very easy to manage our time and attention on our employees. I also find that we can easily fix hours and keep up with them. The Time Clock feature is the one I use the most, as it's really valuable for tracking employee hours. Additionally, the initial setup was very easy, which made onboarding smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

When an update happens. I’m scared of what happened a couple weeks back when it crashed and it was a horrible 48 hours to wait for the updated app to work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

That is a one stop shop for my employees. We used to have 3 systems, and my employees had to have a separate login to each to do what we now do all in Homebase. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to receive more alters when my staff clocks in late or clocks out outside of the Geofence. The little star next to the time sheet is easily missed. If out of the Geofence then it would be nice to send an alter to the manager that had to be approved.

Also, we have several servers, and it would be great if when they clock out it prompts them to enter tips. They are missing this step several times, and it makes more work for payroll. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that its basic features are free which are enough for small business owners with limited employees and does not need to full features. Its free version has many features available to use and is very reasonable. Its paid versions are great for business as my business will grow. I have been using it since 2018 and have recommended it to many business owners that need time clock in, and scheduling. The team can view their own schedule make request for time off and more. Its great and simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

the price for the full or advance features. Like payroll, having the base fee, then for each employee, and or subcontractor or independent contractor those cost can make using the program expensive, especially if certain contractors are only used for 1 to 3 projects. or for limited time periods Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Homebase drastically reduces the time it takes me to put a schedule together, from two or three hours down to just 30 minutes. I really appreciate being able to update anything at any time, and having everything I need to do my job right at my fingertips on my phone, tablet, or computer. I also like how easy it is to fix time clocks and see everyone's working hours all in one spot. The initial setup of Homebase was very easy, which I found great.

Using the app versus the webpage can be frustrating because on the webpage I can correct the schedule, time clocks, and edit time offs, but I can't do these things on the app. It would be better if the app could do everything the website can do, and it'd be helpful to know ahead of time when maintenance is going to happen.
