Homebase charges per location. Cloxbi charges per team — every feature included, no tier math. Here's exactly how they compare.
Homebase looks cheap at one location. It gets expensive fast everywhere else.
From $29/mo for up to 30 users
One price covers your whole team — not per location, not per user. Snap a photo of last week's bulletin board schedule and we build it. Clone a week. Approve PTO. Ask Cloxbi™ to fill a gap in plain English.
From $0 (1 location, 10 employees) to $120+/location/mo
Homebase's free plan is genuinely useful for a single small location. But PTO lives on Plus ($70/location), AI scheduling is gated, and every new location doubles the bill.
One charges by team size. One charges by location. The difference adds up fast.
Every Cloxbi feature is on every plan. Homebase gates the good stuff.
