So, let\u2019s take a closer look at Homebase vs. Clockify in terms of their price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Clockify and Homebase have a free plan. However, Clockify doesn\u2019t limit the number of projects or locations like Homebase does. Another similarity is that both apps offer a generous<strong>&nbsp;20% discount<\/strong>&nbsp;for users who pay annually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Apart from that, Clockify and Homebase have very different pricing models, which makes the comparison a little tricky. It all depends on specific user needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s say your business has multiple locations. If you want to use Homebase at all locations, and also need add-ons like payroll and task manager, expenses can add up quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For 5 locations, and 50 employees in each, the most expensive plan will cost you just $480. However, the cost of the payroll feature would be a hefty <strong>additional $1.539 per month<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t have many locations and don\u2019t need the add-ons, Homebase can be quite affordable. But considering that some of the features available only as add-ons are necessary for many, it\u2019s best to calculate everything before you make your decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, Clockify\u2019s pricing is pretty straightforward \u2014 no hidden costs. Simply multiply the number of users you want to add by the price per full or limited member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e5f6fe\"><strong>\ud83c\udfc6 Winner: <\/strong>Clockify<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"custom-btn\"><a href=\"https:\/\/app.clockify.me\/en\/signup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get Clockify by CAKE.com for FREE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"clockify-vs-homebase-customer-support\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clockify vs. Homebase: Customer support<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Main difference: <\/strong>Clockify customer support is available 24\/7, while you can only reach Homebase agents from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"clockify-customer-support-5-5\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clockify customer support (5\/5)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A big advantage of <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/contact\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Clockify\u2019s full-human customer support<\/a> is that the agents are at your service 24\/7. You can reach them via:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Email,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Chat,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Phone, or<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Contact form.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>On top of that, if you sign up for any of the paid plans, you get a free <strong>30-minute onboarding session<\/strong> tailored to your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"homebase-customer-support-2-5-5\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Homebase customer support (2.5\/5)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Homebase customer support has fixed hours (7 a.m. to 7 p.m. from Monday to Friday). This can be a problem for users from a different time zone or those who work on weekends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Homebase does have an AI chatbot you can pose questions to at any time. It can be semi-useful when you\u2019re unsure how to use a specific feature. Other than that, it\u2019s quite limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"comparison\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparison<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, Clockify takes a clear victory in terms of customer support. Not only are the agents always available and responsive, but they also ensure that any customer problem is solved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And that\u2019s not just me saying that. The user reviews show the difference: the main complaint of Homebase\u2019s customers is unhelpful customer support. For example, one customer was frustrated for not receiving a call as promised.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"571\" height=\"408\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-user-review.png\" alt=\"Homebase - user review\" class=\"wp-image-33621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-user-review.png 571w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-user-review-420x300.png 420w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-user-review-18x12.png 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 571px) 100vw, 571px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Homebase <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trustpilot.com\/reviews\/689aaa722cf3a0400b489842\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">user review<\/a> on Trustpilot<br><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>In contrast, Clockify is often praised for its top-notch support.

Both apps have received positive and negative reviews regarding customer service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, what I noticed is that complaints about Homebase usually involve agents either not responding or failing to resolve the issue properly. Interestingly, the responses from Homebase to these reviews don\u2019t dispute that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The issues users had with Clockify\u2019s support team usually involved the customer not receiving a refund for which they weren\u2019t eligible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At the end of the day, Clockify by CAKE.com offers full human support that all users can reach out to at any time. With Homebase, you can only get human support during their work hours, excluding weekends.

So, if you find it easier to work in dark mode, you\u2019re in for a treat.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1110\" height=\"481\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Clockify-dark-mode-1110x481.jpg\" alt=\"Enabling dark mode in Clockify\" class=\"wp-image-33685\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Clockify-dark-mode-1110x481.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Clockify-dark-mode-692x300.jpg 692w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Clockify-dark-mode-768x333.jpg 768w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Clockify-dark-mode-18x8.jpg 18w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/Clockify-dark-mode.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Enabling dark mode in Clockify<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Despite the app&#8217;s intuitiveness, some default settings weren\u2019t quite in line with my preferences. For example, timesheets are disabled by default.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, this is easily adjusted by clicking on the 3 dots next to the business name and opening <em>Workspace settings<\/em>. From there, you can customize the workspace the way that works for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you don\u2019t know how to use a certain feature, you can always look up tutorials. Clockify has a wide range of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@Clockify\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">YouTube tutorials<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">help pages<\/a> that explain options step-by-step \u2014 I found this insanely helpful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"homebase-interface-3-5\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Homebase interface (3\/5)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>At first glance, the Homebase interface seems relatively straightforward. You have a sidebar on the left from where you can access:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Dashboard,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Scheduling,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Time tracking,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Payroll,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Settings, and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1110\" height=\"514\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-homepage-1110x514.jpg\" alt=\"Homebase homepage\" class=\"wp-image-33625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-homepage-1110x514.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-homepage-647x300.jpg 647w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-homepage-768x356.jpg 768w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-homepage-18x8.jpg 18w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-homepage.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Homebase homepage<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>However, I found some options unnecessarily complicated to set up and use. For example, creating a time-off policy takes too much time, as it involves many steps to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like Clockify, Homebase also has feature explanations on the website and YouTube. Help pages on the website are easy to follow, but they don\u2019t seem to cover all features in detail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"comparison\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparison&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the main reasons I prefer the Clockify interface is the ability to enable dark mode. Understandably, not all users will see this as a problem. However, if you\u2019re used to dark themes, it\u2019s something to consider when choosing your apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In my opinion, Clockify is also more intuitive, as it takes less of your time to set up the same features, yielding the same results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clockify by CAKE.com seems to have more video tutorials than Homebase. Most of Clockify\u2019s videos and help pages go more in-depth. So, you\u2019re more likely to find what you need than in the case of Homebase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e5f6fe\"><strong>\ud83c\udfc6 Winner: <\/strong>Clockify<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"clockify-vs-homebase-time-tracking\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clockify vs. Homebase: Time tracking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Main difference: <\/strong>Clockify has comprehensive time tracking capabilities, whereas Homebase centers around clocking in and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"clockify-time-tracking-5-5\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clockify time tracking (5\/5)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Clockify\u2019s time tracking options are versatile, so it\u2019s safe to say there\u2019s a suitable choice for any type of user:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Timer <\/strong>\u2014 to track work hours in real time, activated by clicking <em>Start<\/em>,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Manual mode<\/strong> \u2014 to manually add time entries one by one,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Timesheets <\/strong>\u2014 to bulk-add time entries for the entire week,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Calendar<\/strong> \u2014 to add time entries in calendar view by clicking on a single block of time, or dragging the cursor along the desired time frame,<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Auto tracker<\/strong> \u2014 to track time spent across different websites and apps, and<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Kiosk<\/strong> \u2014 to clock in and out from a single device using a PIN.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Timer is my favorite option.

Although enabling features takes a few seconds, my concern is that some users may not be aware of these features due to this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Default settings aside, Clockify gives its users many more options for logging their time. Homebase is great for clocking in and out, but the problem arises when you need a detailed attendance report from different types of workers \u2014 e.g., part-time and contractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As someone who works on multiple tasks throughout the week, I found it unintuitive that I could only enter my role in Homebase, not the projects and tasks I worked on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be fair, Homebase does offer <em>Task Manager<\/em>, which is a new add-on that lets you create assignments for your team (in the form of checklists).

It was clearly designed for shift workers who only need to clock in and out of work. It&#8217;s less convenient for those who need to log different types of tasks each day.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1110\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-schedule-1110x361.jpg\" alt=\"Homebase schedule\" class=\"wp-image-33631\" srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-schedule-1110x361.jpg 1110w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-schedule-730x237.jpg 730w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-schedule-768x250.jpg 768w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-schedule-18x6.jpg 18w, https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Homebase-schedule.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1110px) 100vw, 1110px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Homebase schedule<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>You can add specific roles when assigning shifts to workers. The roles are color-coded, making them easy to spot on the calendar. I like that you can also add events and open shifts. However, I wish Homebase had the option to add start and end times to events \u2014 and not just the date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The scheduling feature works well for the most part, but I ran into some minor issues. When I copied the schedule from the previous week, Homebase didn\u2019t take into account the <a href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/managing-tasks\/scheduling-conflicts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">schedule conflicts<\/a> this would create for the current week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Namely, one of the team members had time off scheduled for that entire week, but Homebase added shifts for her anyway. Then, I had to delete each scheduled shift, one by one. I didn\u2019t find an option to bulk edit or delete shifts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"comparison\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Comparison<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Clockify and Homebase work great as scheduling tools. Again, Clockify by CAKE.com was designed for a wider range of users, while Homebase mostly caters to shift workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, Homebase has the option to add <em>Open shifts<\/em>, so that you and your team can quickly agree who will step in in case of an absent team member. Clockify solves this problem differently \u2014 by allowing you to see team capacity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For me, Clockify\u2019s approach is quicker and more effective \u2014 after you add the expected daily work hours and assign tasks, you don\u2019t have to do anything manually. In fact, team availability is calculated by Clockify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e5f6fe\"><strong>\ud83c\udfc6 Winner: <\/strong>Clockify<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"clockify-vs-homebase-time-off-approval\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clockify vs. Homebase: Time off approval<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Main difference: <\/strong>Time off in Homebase is calculated only in hours, while Clockify lets you choose between days and hours when creating the policy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"clockify-time-off-4-5-5\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Clockify time off (4.5\/5)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To test the time off approval feature in Clockify, I first created a time off policy.

It includes most of the features you see in the web version \u2014 just simplified. In my opinion, it\u2019s more user-friendly than the web version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clockify mobile app\u2019s features are mostly useful for employees, because they can use it to track work hours and request time off. I think that\u2019s why Homebase\u2019s mobile version has an edge over Clockify.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Although I prefer Clockify&#8217;s interface, the Homebase mobile app has more features. It allows managers to communicate with their team, check team availability, monitor earnings, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e5f6fe\"><strong>\ud83c\udfc6 Winner: <\/strong>Homebase<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"final-verdict\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Final verdict<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the most notable differences between Clockify by CAKE.com and Homebase lies in their time-tracking features. Clockify offers more useful functionalities \u2014 from the timer and auto tracker to enhanced time-off tracking capabilities and additional integrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If I were a worker at a restaurant, Homebase would suffice. You can easily request cover, trade shifts, and clock in and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But Clockify seems more inclusive as it can be used across various industries. It caters to office employees, restaurant staff, construction workers, IT companies \u2014 and the list goes on.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s the full breakdown of my ratings of both apps by feature for easier comparison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Feature&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Clockify&nbsp;by CAKE.com<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Homebase&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Pricing&nbsp;<\/td><td>4\/5<\/td><td>3\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Customer support<\/td><td>5\/5<\/td><td>2.5\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>User interface<\/td><td>4\/5<\/td><td>3\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Time tracking<\/td><td>5\/5<\/td><td>3\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Scheduling&nbsp;<\/td><td>4.5\/5<\/td><td>4\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Time off<\/td><td>4.5\/5<\/td><td>3\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Payroll&nbsp;<\/td><td>4\/5<\/td><td>4\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Reporting&nbsp;<\/td><td>4.5\/5<\/td><td>3.5\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Integrations&nbsp;<\/td><td>4\/5<\/td><td>3.5\/5<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Mobile app<\/td><td>3.5\/5<\/td><td>4.5\/5<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><tfoot><tr><td><strong>Final rating<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>4.3\/5<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>3.4\/5<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tfoot><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#e5f6fe\">\ud83e\udd47 <strong>Best option overall<\/strong>: Clockify<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\n<div class=\"banner banner-dark clockify-gradient-features\">\n    <div class=\"banner-text lg:pr-[6rem]\">\n        <span class=\"h4 text-lg translation-block mb-0\">Time tracking and scheduling app<\/span>\n        <p class=\"translation-block mt-1 mb-3\">Track team time, assign tasks, calculate payroll, and more with a powerful team management tool \u2014 Clockify by CAKE.com.<\/p>\n\n        <div class=\"banner-buttons d-flex gap-4 align-items-center translation-block justify-content-center justify-content-sm-start\">\n            <a class=\"bg-white rounded px-3 py-1 text-gray-dark\" href=\"https:\/\/app.clockify.me\/en\/signup\" target=\"_blank\">Sign up<\/a>\n\n                            <a class=\"button-2\" href=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/features\/\" target=\"_blank\">Learn more<\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n\n    <div class=\"banner-image banner-image-middle \">\n        <picture>\n            <source srcset=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/cake-blog\/theme\/images\/banners\/clockify\/features@2x.png 2x\" alt=\"Illustration\"  media=\"(min-width: 1022px)\" \/>\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/clockify.me\/blog\/wp-content\/themes\/cake-blog\/theme\/images\/banners\/clockify\/features.png\"  alt=\"Illustration\" \/>\n        <\/picture>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <br><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Which app stands out in this Clockify vs. Homebase comparison?
