Where each one falls short

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

JazzHR

  • Limited customization options compared to enterprise ATS platforms
  • Small candidate pool limitations on lower-tier plans
  • No advanced reporting capabilities on entry-level Hero plan
