Honest fit

When Homebase may be the better fit

  • You run one shop or restaurant and want hiring and payroll in the same product
  • You are in a market where its built-in payroll is available
  • Scheduling and shift trades matter more than verified presence
Where LoggerIQ fits

When LoggerIQ is the better fit

  • Your people are on sites and the hour has to be proven, not only recorded
  • You want the flag explained to the person before a manager sees it
  • You want a daily pulse and kudos beside the hours without a second app
  • You want nothing running on a phone between shifts
