Findmyshift vs Homebase

Findmyshift creates employee schedules, handles shift requests, tracks labor costs and supports communication with employees. Its online scheduler provides spreadsheet-style editing, drag-and-drop shifts, multi-cell editing and reusable templates. A time clock and timesheets record actual hours worked, and both are included at no extra cost on every account, including Free. Approved timesheets can feed reports comparing scheduled hours and costs with actual hours and costs. Managers can send messages and notifications by email, text or push notification; SMS has an additional cost. Findmyshift offers Android and iOS apps as well as browser access. The Free plan costs nothing and supports five team members and one manager, with one week of historical data and forward planning. Starter costs $27 a month and supports 20 team members. Business costs $43 a month; Enterprise costs $85 a month. A three-month trial includes full access for up to 300 employees and requires no credit card. Findmyshift was founded in 2004 and is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands.

Homebase combines scheduling, time tracking, payroll, hiring, onboarding, HR, compliance, and team communication for hourly teams. It is aimed at small, shift-based businesses such as restaurants, retailers, beauty and wellness providers, medical businesses, and home services. Employees can clock in and out using mobile or tablet time clocks, with PIN, photo, and GPS or geofencing verification. Approved hours flow into payroll, where Homebase says it calculates wages, overtime, tips, and taxes and handles tax filings. The free Basic plan covers one location and up to 10 employees; paid plans are described as allowing unlimited employees per location. Essentials is $30 a month per location, and All-in-One is $120 a month per location. Homebase is available on Android, iOS, and the web, with a 14-day trial listed. Integrations include Square, Toast, Clover, Shopify, ADP, Gusto, and QuickBooks. The company says it uses encryption, two-factor authentication, SSO, password-less login, and role-based access control.
