Homebase Reviews & Ratings
Are you using Homebase?
Spotsaas Editor’s POV
Homebase works best for small teams with straightforward scheduling needs. Before shortlisting, verify that the app's weekly availability settings match your staffing model—some managers report needing to set availability daily instead, which adds friction if your business operates on fixed weekly rotations. Test the navigation during your demo, particularly the ...Read more

A handy app for business starters
PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? For someone who runs a small business, this app reduces costs as I can just record my own employees' salary without the need for an accountant. They can just log in and out and it is automatically recorded in their payroll. The app even provides visual evidence of their clock in time, just in case any problem comes up in their salary. What aspects are problematic or could work better? I'm currently using the free version of this ...

Good App
What do you like best? We had issues with the guys signing in and out on the previous software we had used. It wouldn't log them in or out when they swore they had done so. Homebase has been performing so much better. The app rarely gives the guys any problems with logging in and out on their cell phones and notifies me if they forget to clock out. What do you dislike? I don't need the scheduling feature, but have no way of turning it off. I also wish there was a slightly better ...

Great for Timesheets

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Having a way that tracks and saves employees hours.

Easy to use

Does the job; ould be better
What do you like best? Homebase does the job it needs to by showing who is working when and during what shifts. You can request to trade shifts with another employee (which then requires admin approval). You can also ask for people to cover your shifts or pick up "empty" shifts. What do you dislike? The app can be quite confusing. I often feel as if I run in circles to find certain functions. My biggest gripe about Homebase is how when you set your availability as an employee, it ...

Good basic scheduling features for free
What do you like best? It's free! Homebase is pretty user friendly once you get everyone signed up and signed in. The registration process is a little tricky, but after that it's very easy to use in order to schedule and track employee hours for payroll. What do you dislike? It is no the easiest process to add someone to your team if you do not follow steps in a certain order. Also, it seems initially signing up is slow. Recommendations to others considering the product: ...

It is easy and convenient to use
What do you like best? I like the mobile app. I can update my availability anytime and also check how many time is left for my break. What do you dislike? I dislike that I cannot clock in using the mobile app. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? It facilitates my work because it is more organized and I can easily look for my colleagues who are on their shift and refer customers to them.

Homebase for Resturaunts
What do you like best? It is easy to see the entire workplace schedule. I can see exactly who is working where and what hours very easily. It is easy to trade/request off shifts. There is also a tab for “open shifts” that makes finding shifts to pick up very easy. What do you dislike? The messaging on this app is the same as text messaging on a cell phone, which can get overwhelming and annoying if you’re also using text messaging to communicate with co-workers. What problems ...

An app for managing workforce time
PROS & CONS What are the best aspects of this product? One of the things that I enjoy about Homebase is that it lets employees sign in and out with ease. I also like that it notifies users when their work shift is about to begin and when their break time is almost over. It is helpful as well that we can log in and out from our devices like smartphones and iPads that we have in our office. The picture captured during the process is also a nice touch, as it helps us ensure that it is ...
