Scheduling, time clock, team chat and hiring tools for small businesses with hourly staff, with a free plan for one location.
Homebase is aimed at small businesses with hourly employees, such as cafes, shops and service companies. Its core is a drag-and-drop weekly schedule that employees receive in a mobile app, together with a time clock that runs on a tablet, computer or phone.
Around the schedule it adds team messaging, shift trades, time-off requests, hiring posts and onboarding, and its paid plans add payroll and labor law alerts. Managers can see projected labor costs while they build the week.
A free plan covers basic scheduling and time tracking for one location, which makes it an easy place to start. Check what the free plan includes for your team size and where features move to paid tiers before you rely on them.
