Employee Scheduling and Time management made easy
Reviewed on 2023-11-09
Pros
I have used Homebase for employee scheduling and time tracking for 2 years. It has made the job of keeping track of employee availability, leave of absence, and labor so much easier. So I spend more time on the development of other areas of my work.
Cons
Honestly, all the features that I would want are supported by Homebase on different product packages.

terrible- it is very hard to see the schedule and use and for the minimal function a small company needs it is very expensive and we have never been a priority with the company at all- they don't care about the little guy
Pros
If you had a large company it might be useful to you but unless you use all the features it is a waste of money.
Cons
It is very expensive. The support is terrible and takes a week to do anything. If you sign up and want to cancel 2 months later you still have to pay for the entire year. it is a scan to make money

My overall experience with Homebase has been quite positive. The platform’s intuitive design made it easy to manage schedules and track time, which significantly improved our team’s efficiency. The built-in communication tools were particularly helpful, allowing us to stay connected and coordinate seamlessly. However, there were occasional technical issues, such as app lag, which sometimes hindered our workflow. Despite these minor setbacks, Homebase has been a valuable tool for our team, and the responsive customer support has been a great asset.
Pros
I really appreciated the user-friendly interface of Homebase. It made scheduling and time tracking incredibly easy and efficient. The ability to communicate with my team directly through the app was also a huge plus, as it streamlined our workflow and reduced the need for multiple communication tools. Additionally, the customer support was always responsive and helpful whenever we had any questions or issues.
Cons
One area where Homebase could improve is the occasional lag in the app, which sometimes made it difficult to update schedules in real-time. Additionally, while the app offers many features, it can feel a bit overwhelming for new users to navigate initially.
