Why buyers look beyond Homebase

  1. Priced per location

    Paid plans cost $30, $70 or $120 per location a month, so costs rise with each site.

  2. Payroll and extras cost more

    Payroll adds $49 a month plus $6 per employee paid; Tip Manager, Task Manager, background checks and the Hiring Assistant are also extra.

  3. Live support only on paid plans

    The free plan has 24/7 AI chat and a help center; live chat and phone support come with paid plans.

  4. Limited HR depth

    Onboarding, labor cost tools and HR compliance sit in the top All-in-One plan, and Homebase is not a full HRIS for salaried teams.
