The Best Homebase Alternative for Growing Teams

Last Updated: February 2026

The VerdictHomebase is a giant in the space, but their pricing model (Base fee + per user add-ons) gets expensive for multi-location businesses. ClockIt offers the same core value—robust scheduling, time tracking, and mobile apps—at a transparent flat rate, making it the smarter choice for cost-conscious managers.

Why Businesses Switch to ClockIt

It's not just about features. It's about the fundamental "value gap" in how we handle your time and money.

Uncapped Locations

Homebase charges per location. ClockIt charges per user. If you have 5 small locations with 2 employees each, Homebase costs a fortune. ClockIt scales with your headcount, not your real estate.

Simple Shift Management

Drag-and-drop scheduling that just works. Publish shifts, handle swap requests, and notify your team instantly via push notification.

Easy Migration

Switch from Homebase in Minutes

Don't let data lock-in keep you paying high fees. We help you migrate your employee roster and schedule templates instantly.

"We cut our monthly software bill in half by switching to ClockIt. The scheduling tool is just as powerful."
