Homebase alternatives

Homebase is a solid choice, but not for everyone. Businesses that need hard biometric proof of identity at clock-in, or that don't run hourly shift schedules at all. Here's what to look at instead.

Deputy

Multi-location scheduling and time tracking with compliance guardrails built in

Tiered per-user monthly pricing, typically in the range of $4.50-$6+ per user/month depending on tier (scheduling only vs. scheduling + time tracking + tasking), with a free trial available. Exact current tiers are best confirmed on Deputy's pricing page since they shift periodically.7.9/10

Buddy Punch

Named after the exact problem it solves, and it puts a photo on every punch to back it up

Per-user monthly pricing plus a flat $19 base fee. Starter runs about $4.49/user/mo billed annually but is GPS-only; the anti-buddy-punching features, photo-on-punch and the Apple Face ID gate, start on the Pro plan at about $5.99/user/mo annually ($6.99 month-to-month). 14-day free trial, no credit card. Confirm current rates on their site, they adjust periodically.8.0/10

Jibble

The one buddy-punching tool that gives you real facial recognition free, for unlimited users

Free forever for unlimited users, and the free plan is the point: it includes facial recognition, GPS, geofencing, kiosk mode, and NFC, the anti-buddy-punching features other tools charge for. Paid Premium and Ultimate tiers (per user, monthly) add automation like advanced timesheets, approvals, and scheduling; confirm current per-seat rates on their site.8.2/10
