I use Homebase for payroll, and it helps us implement it effectively by giving us easy access to tools that record the employees' time and taxes. I like that it has an easy-to-use app and the geolocation for clocking in and out is particularly useful. The initial setup was very easy too. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I could file the entire payroll on my phone. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love that Homebase handles scheduling, time tracking, team communication, hiring, and HR tools all in one easy-to-use platform. The UI is clean and simple for both managers and employees, which makes onboarding very easy even for teams that are not tech-savvy. Most people I refer to Homebase especially love the mobile clock-in feature and geo-fencing capabilities for service-based jobs because it helps track projects, locations, and employee accountability in real time.

The hiring tools are also fantastic. The AI-powered interview features save a tremendous amount of time during the hiring process by helping pre-screen candidates and streamline interviews before moving applicants forward. This is especially valuable for growing businesses that need to hire efficiently without spending hours manually sorting applicants.

Homebase also integrates well with payroll and business management systems, helping reduce manual work and improve accuracy. From a pricing standpoint, it offers strong ROI because it combines multiple business tools into one affordable platform instead of requiring several separate subscriptions. Performance has been reliable overall, and the mobile app makes it easy for teams to stay connected while in the field.

Another feature I really like is the ability to communicate daily job locations, shift notes, and schedule updates directly inside the app. Their support and onboarding resources are straightforward and helpful, making setup quick and stress-free for business owners and managers.

One thing I wish Homebase would improve is the referral partner program incentives. Competitors like Gusto offer recurring incentives for referrals tied to ongoing payroll usage, while Homebase’s referral structure is more limited. For agencies, consultants, and business advisors who consistently recommend software solutions to clients, a recurring incentive model would make the partnership program much more competitive and rewarding long-term.

I use Homebase to communicate with my small Lifeguard team and to schedule when they work. Homebase has been a game changer for me. I used to write out our schedule on paper and it would take forever, now with Homebase, I can send out a schedule within 10 minutes. If there are any changes or people needing to trade shifts, we communicate through the app, and it’s been so easy to use! I find Homebase to be such a great communication tool for work. It’s visually appealing and set up very organized. The initial setup for my team was very easy, and I appreciate how simple it was to get started. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I wish I could make some more notes about what to expect on the shifts, but that’s just a minor thing. Other than that, there’s not really anything I don’t like. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Homebase makes scheduling and trading shifts easy, which removes me as a middleman when employees need to trade shifts. I also appreciate that it is very accessible for employees of all ages, which is important for our diverse team. Plus, it reminds me of upcoming shifts, helping me stay organized. The ability to count hours and see the whole month's schedule and requests off all on one screen is incredibly convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are constant app bugs. For example, when making a request off, the app will shut down sometimes before I finish the request. I don't love that I do not pay employees to come in early unless they are asked, and I don’t like that it counts towards their time card. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Homebase is user-friendly, especially how the titles are nice and bold on the left-hand side. It's nice to see everybody's schedule, and I can always log in to see if someone I need to talk to is at work or not. This is valuable because if someone is off work, I know not to bother them on their day off. I can also see when they started, are closing, or leaving for the day, which is beneficial as a part-time manager. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It took a while to get my PIN for setting up on my phone, and logging in can be hard, as I often have to log in at the store even though I didn't log out. I get logged out all the time and that’s frustrating. 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 like that Homebase is very easy to use. The payroll feature is particularly helpful as I can run payroll in approximately two to three minutes, which allows me to do it easily on the go, whether through my mobile phone or on my laptop at home. I also appreciate the paid time off feature that accumulates hours for my employees and lets me apply it to payroll very simply and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

So, initially, trying to navigate the site, and especially in terms of paid time off, trying to figure that out was a bit challenging. But once I got it figured out, it's very simple. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our team can clock in using the app on their phones or the time clock at the shop, which makes it really flexible. It also lets me offer Paid Time Off, which is a real plus for a small retail shop. I also appreciate the geo-fencing feature. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would like to be able to require geo-fencing for just some members of my team and not an everyone-or-no-one situation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like how Homebase calculates total hours quickly, which really saves time and ensures accuracy when submitting payroll hours. It's also easy to flag incorrect punches. The initial setup of Homebase was very easy, which was a plus for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm not really familiar with the shifts feature as I haven't spent time learning the new version, so it doesn't work well for me. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that Homebase is a one-stop shop for time cards and scheduling, as everything from the schedule to the team's punches is very convenient. It all loads seamlessly into payroll when it's time, which makes things a lot easier for me. I also found the initial setup of Homebase to be very easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Multi Store support. Its very much a pain to have to toggle between my 3 store locations all the time. I should have a master hub that can do it all. Another pain point is seeing my teams hours. Several of them work at different locations and its difficult to see their total hours since the system separates it by location. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
