    Homebase
    I loved using Homebase! The best feature, by far, is scheduling in shifts! It really could not be easier! For restaurants and bars it is the easiest and best software! Using the payroll feature can be very easy! The only downfall is trying to separate scheduled worked hours and overtime. The layout is simple and easy to navigate. The only real con I can think of is that lag.

    ScheduleFly
    ScheduleFly is well suited for small or large businesses. We have around ten employees, and this works great! If you had a much smaller group to manage/schedule, you might not need something as complex and detailed. For larger groups, this would be perfect and well worth the cost for a subscription.

    Pros
    Homebase
    • Homebase provides an easy way to schedule employees. Their scheduling platform is extremely user-friendly and easy to edit once the schedule is made.
    • Homebase makes it easy for employees to switch schedules on their own, a manager just simply has to approve rather than physically rescheduling both employees, this is great for any small retail business or restaurant with many hourly employees.
    • Homebase makes it easy to adjust hours that have been incorrectly clocked or clockouts that have been missed.

    ScheduleFly
    • It works on your cell phone, which is wonderful! Our workers always have their schedules on hand and easily accessible.
    • ScheduleFly works in real-time, so changes and updates are immediate across all platforms
    • I love the message wall. If someone wants to find a replacement or swap hours, they can do so.

    Cons
    Homebase
    • Notifications could be more punctual
    • Employees should be able to pick up shifts outside of their scheduled times! Right now managers need to do it.
    • Importing hours on QBO payroll could use attention. Doesn't separate normal hours from overtime.

    • It can be costly, depending on the size of your team/staff.
    • Can be complicated and hard for older audience to adapt to and get used to
    • There are some extra features like the weather that aren't necessary and busy up the program.

    ScheduleFly
    I have never had to use support directly. Still, I love that even though they seem to be a smaller group that runs it, they are very personable in their email correspondence and supply phone numbers and contact information in case we are ever in a bind. It's nice to know that we have the option to contact them and will get personal support if we need it.

    Alternatives Considered
    Homebase
    Homebase is simpler to use. Easier to navigate and is much cheaper than other alternatives! We had trouble when I worked as they were harder to reach our ROI. Deputy was too expensive and it was the reason we decided on Homebase! Employees also find it easy to use on their end!

    ScheduleFly
    ScheduleFly had a lot of extra features that some of the other scheduling software didn't offer. For example, one of the big draws of ScheduleFly was the ability to switch shifts right in the app. Workers continually need to make changes to their schedules, and it can add a lot of time to our plates as we try to put the puzzle together and make sure all shifts are covered. ScheduleFly gives workers a chance to makeshift and schedule changes on their own and leave leadership out of the picture. I love the display and organization of ScheduleFly too! It just seems a lot more organized and put together than some of the other ones we explored.

    Return on Investment
    Homebase
    • Homebase has made the day to day management of employees easier, freeing up time for management to work on other things that help secure customer satisfaction.
    • It has also made payroll easier since it's implementation and allowed for fewer mistakes than the previous manual method, leading to less monetary mistakes and happier employees.
    • Homebase has made monitoring hours and overtime, as well as completion of internship and volunteer hours, much easier to monitor, leading to less confusion and more satisfied volunteers, interns, and payroll managers

    • Keeps everyone organized, which makes the workplace more effective and well-staffed.
    • The older staff doesn't adapt to the program as well and makes things difficult and added a lot of time on our plate to train.
    • Great way to communicate between staff!
