Punch vs Homebase
Homebase is an all-in-one team app priced per location, with time off and geofencing on its paid tiers. Punch is one flat price for unlimited job sites, every feature on every plan. Here's the honest comparison.
What you're actually paying for
Homebase prices per location, so a business running multiple sites pays again for each one, and its free tier covers a single location only. Time off and geofenced punch-in sit on the paid tiers.
Punch is one flat price per organization, covering unlimited job sites under that one price. PTO accruals, geofenced punch-in, overtime rules, and reports are all included on every plan.
The math for a 3-location business
$69.99/mo
Punch Premier, unlimited job sites, up to 50 people, time off and geofencing included
$210/mo
Homebase Plus, $70 per location × 3 locations
Time off needs the $70 Plus tier, and every new location bills again. Punch covers unlimited job sites under one price.
Open a fourth location and Homebase climbs to $280. Punch does not move.
Homebase published pricing, billed monthly, as of May 2026. Rates change, so check their site for current numbers.

See how the import worksWhy teams choose Punch over Homebase
Punch wins the moment you run more than one site. Homebase prices per location, so every storefront, truck, or job site you add is another bill, and it holds time off and geofencing back for its paid tiers. Punch is one flat price for unlimited job sites, owners never counted, with PTO accruals, geofenced punch-in, overtime presets for 15 countries, and payroll-ready exports on every plan. Grow from one site to twenty and your Punch price doesn't move. That is the whole point. One predictable bill, every feature included, no penalty for getting bigger.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
- How does Homebase pricing work?
- Homebase prices per location, so each additional site is billed separately, and the free tier covers one location only. Punch is one flat price per org covering unlimited job sites.
- Does Homebase include time off and geofencing on every plan?
- No. Time off lands on the Plus tier and geofencing is a paid-tier capability, not part of the free plan. Punch includes PTO accruals and geofenced punch-in on every plan.
- Does Punch do scheduling and hiring like Homebase?
- No, and that's deliberate. Punch focuses on time tracking, approvals, PTO, and payroll-ready exports. If you need shift scheduling, hiring, team messaging, and POS in one app, Homebase is the broader fit.
- How do I move my Homebase data to Punch?
- Export your Homebase timesheets to a spreadsheet, then drop them into Punch's Bring Your Own Timecard template and upload it in the import wizard. Punch matches each name to a teammate and brings over shifts, lunches, and approval statuses.
