Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Assistant.to

  • No longer an independent product. assistant.to redirects to Cirrus Insight, which absorbed it
  • Its scheduling now sits inside a wider Salesforce-focused sales tool rather than being a standalone add-in

Homebase

  • Free Basic plan is capped at 10 employees and a single location
  • Paid plans are billed per location per month ($30, $70 or $120), so a multi-location business pays the rate again for each site
  • Payroll is a separate add-on at $39 per month plus $6 per month per employee paid
  • Tip Manager and Task Manager are further add-ons billed per location per month on top of the base plan
