Common questions
Their Basic plan is free for one location and up to 20 employees, with scheduling, time tracking, and team chat. Past that — multi-location, advanced reports, payroll — you're on a paid plan. Weekwright's free Starter is also free for up to 10 active employees, but with no per-location ceiling.
Homebase charges per location per month — five locations at Plus is $300/mo regardless of team size. Weekwright charges per seat regardless of how many locations the org has — five locations of 10 employees each (50 seats) at Pro is around $225/mo annual. Math gets very different at scale.
No. We integrate with your existing payroll tool by exporting hours; we don't run paychecks ourselves. If integrated US payroll is the deal-breaker, Homebase wins on day one.
No credit card required. Migration help included if you're switching.
