Where each one falls short

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

Glint

  • glint.com is now a domain sale listing operated by Digimedia and carries no Glint product, documentation or pricing
  • There is no vendor-published rate, plan or minimum for Glint at its original domain

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
