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

Outreach

  • Pricing not transparent, requiring custom quotes for most implementations
  • Complex setup requiring deep Salesforce configuration and customization
  • Primarily designed for enterprise SDR and sales teams, less suitable for small businesses
