A solid workplace performer
This is a very helpful, effective, workplace tool. It is cost effective and the support is outstanding. I only wish their payroll system integrated with QuickBooks Desktop Enterprise.

Homebase is easy to use
Homebase is an easy to use platform that really helps me manage the staff hours/timeclock.
I purchased Homebase for my previous employer and was so happy to be able to switch my new employer over to it as well! The price is reasonable and the reports are so easy to download to a spreadsheet. Thanks for being a great option!!

Our controller thinks that Homebase customer service is rinky dink
A fraudulent payroll was submitted. Homebase was unwilling/unable to cancel the payroll in a timely manner.
The call center troubleshooter was unwilling to escalate our repeated calls to a decision maker with the authority to resolve our issue.
Our controller thinks that Homebase customer service is rinky dink. She was particularly frustrated that she was forced to waste hours of time on a few serious time sensitive issues that could have been resolved in a 3 minute phone call.

Quite frankly I do not know how I…
Quite frankly I do not know how I managed before I found Homebase. I use the free version to schedule my wife's team of caregivers. As her primary caregiver I don't have time to handle this task manually and it has simplified my life considerably. I can well imagine how beneficial it would be to a business, either large or small. I appreciate the constant updates and innovations added by the Homebase team.

We keep having issues with our payroll not being submitted on time due to slow work in whatever department does wire payments. Still cannot get our Guideline connected.

Hi Winston-Salem Dog Care — we're truly sorry for the frustrating experience you've had with payroll delays and connecting your Guideline account. We know how important timely pay is, especially when you're caring for a hardworking team—and pups!

Issues for years! Horrible Customer Service.
Update to Homebase's response:
I am still waiting on a resolution for my current issues. Took two tries to get anyone involved to actually figure it out, but haven't gotten a response. I have started chats before and spoke to people, and nothing gets resolved. Only yesterday after 45 minutes and having to get a supervisor was I even given a possible resolution. We will be cancelling as soon as we have a new service up and running. It is really a shame, because Homebase USED to be really good and helpful!
Original Review:
We have had this service since 2018. We have had issues during the entire time. Mostly with notifications. Sometimes they implement updates, which resets all notification settings. Meaning my employees will get nothing, and they are all on call! We have also lost entire message threads multiple times. Each time they do not know why, and just tell us oh well, there is nothing they can do. Customer service is horrible and always has been. They do not care at all. I was on the phone for over 45 minutes trying to get notifications fixed for one employee. After them making it seem like our fault the entire time, they told me there was a setting wrong on the back end preventing that employee from getting notifications. There was not even an apology! I told that person we would be looking for a new service ASAP, and he did not care at all! Here I am again currently on hold for missing messages! They should have stuck to scheduling and messaging, they did that great back in the day. When they added payroll and HR stuff, that is when it went way downhill overall! DO BETTER!

Reply from Homebase
Taylor, we’re truly sorry for everything you’ve experienced, and we want to sincerely thank you for being with Homebase since 2018. That kind of long-term support means so much to us—and we’re sorry we haven’t lived up to your expectations.
Our goal with every update is to improve the experience, and we’re deeply sorry that it’s done the opposite for you and your team. We also want to sincerely apologize for your support experience. You deserve better—faster help, clearer communication, and more care. It’s unacceptable that you were made to feel otherwise, and we take full responsibility.
We know Homebase is nothing without our customers, and your feedback is a clear reminder that we still have work to do. If you need help going forward, please start a chat through the Support tab in the app—you can always request a call from a team member, and we’d be more than willing to talk through and resolve any issues.
Thank you again, Taylor—for your honesty, your patience, and for being the best part of Homebase. 💜

The customer service is sub par and does not seem to care at all. When things don't work there are no educated responses and a true lack of compassion. Quick response and no follow through. Have used them for several years and keeps getting worse. I have let alot of things go, but have decided after today's customer service issue, I will cancel my $1000.00 yearly subscription that is overinflated for what is offered and move on.

Stacie, we’re truly sorry for the experience you’ve had—and even more so to hear this may lead you to leave Homebase after being with us for so long. Thank you for your loyalty over the years. It means the world to us, and we’re deeply sorry that we haven’t lived up to that trust.
Your recent experience with our support team is unacceptable. You deserved thoughtful, informed, and compassionate help—and we’re truly sorry you didn’t receive that. We know we are nothing without our customers, and your feedback makes it clear that we have work to do. We’re listening, and we’re committed to doing better.
It saddens us to know we may have lost your business, and we sincerely hope you’ll reconsider and give us another chance to make this right. For the best support experience, please reach out through the Support tab in the app, where you can also request a call—we’d be grateful for the opportunity to speak with you directly.
Thank you again, Stacie. We appreciate your feedback, and we’re here for you. 💜
