Homebase alternative

A simpler Homebase alternative for employee time tracking

Homebase bundles scheduling, hiring, messaging, and HR into one platform and charges you for all of it whether you use it or not. If all you need is a reliable employee time clock, you are paying for a lot of tools that are getting in your way.

$120 per company per year

Unlimited employees. Every feature included. One price per year.

Why people switch

Homebase works well for businesses that want everything in one place. But that is also the catch — the pricing is built around locations and plan tiers, and the free version is limited enough that most real businesses end up on a paid plan. KLOCKED does one thing well: it tracks employee time. No scheduling bloat, no messaging system, no per-location pricing. Just $120 per year for the whole company.

A time clock without the platform attached

Homebase is a platform. KLOCKED is a time clock. If you already have scheduling handled — or you do not need it — paying for a platform that bundles it in does not make sense. KLOCKED gives you accurate employee hours, timesheet review, corrections, overtime, and payroll exports. Nothing else is bundled in because nothing else needs to be.

Clock in and clock out
Paid and unpaid breaks
Shared company time clock
Timesheets and approvals
Missed-punch corrections
Overtime and time-off tracking
Departments and work locations
Jobs and projects
Payroll-ready spreadsheets and PDF reports
A clear record of every change

$120 per year. No location-based pricing. No plan tiers. No features you did not ask for.

One annual price for the whole company

KLOCKED costs $120 per year for the company. Adding another employee or manager does not change the price.

2 employees: $120 per year
5 employees: $120 per year
12 employees: $120 per year
25 employees: still $120 per year

The same company price applies if the team grows beyond these examples. View KLOCKED pricing details.

What KLOCKED doesn't do — and why that's fine

KLOCKED is a time clock. It doesn't try to be everything.

No payroll processing
No employee scheduling
No live GPS tracking
No employee movement monitoring
No HR management platform

If you need those things, Homebase or a larger platform might be worth the cost. If you just need accurate hours and clean payroll records, KLOCKED is enough.

Getting started takes about ten minutes

No sales call. No demo request. No custom quote. Just sign up, add your employees, and start tracking time.

Create your company account
Add employees and managers
Set up the shared clock if your team needs it
Configure overtime and time-off rules
Start tracking hours

Export your records from your current system before canceling — KLOCKED doesn't import historical data.
