Where each one falls short

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

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

Jobvite

  • No pricing is published and no minimum is stated
  • The product is sold as a core applicant tracking system with onboarding, AI and recruitment marketing as separately added modules, so cost depends on a combination rather than a tier
  • Every route to a figure is a quote request
