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

Roadmunk

  • Starter plan at $19/editor/month allows only 3 reviewers; additional reviewers cost $5 each per month
  • Enterprise plan requires custom pricing contact; feature scope and support terms not published
  • Two-way Jira and Azure DevOps sync available only on Business tier and above at additional $9/collaborator/month
  • Pricing model based per-editor seats rather than per-organisation, scaling costs significantly for larger teams
