Switching from Homebase
Switch from Homebase without paying per location.
Rota, mobile clock-in and timesheets for £9.90/month up to 10 people, then £1.50 per extra person - one price, however many locations you run. Homebase's paid plans are priced per location, so a second site is a second bill.

Questions
Switching from Homebase
Does Wavro import my Homebase rota and staff list?
Not automatically today - Wavro has a direct importer for Deputy schedule exports, but not yet for Homebase. Moving over means adding your team during setup (role, pay rate, email) and building the first week fresh, which most owners do in under an hour.
Is Wavro really cheaper than Homebase?
For a single small site, Homebase's free Basic plan is genuinely free - up to 10 employees, one location, basic scheduling and time tracking. Past that, or across a second location, Homebase charges per location: Essentials is £22.17/month for one site, so two sites is £44.34/month, three is £66.51. Wavro is £9.90/month flat, covering up to 10 people across as many locations as you run.
What happens to the rest of my Homebase billing?
That's between you and Homebase - Homebase bills per location, so check what you're currently on before cancelling. Wavro has no minimum contract, so you can run both in parallel: build a real week on Wavro's free trial and only cancel Homebase once you're happy.
Does Wavro charge per location like Homebase?
No. Running several locations or companies from one login is included in the flat £9.90/month plan, not a second subscription - you can compare labour cost and headcount across locations and move one person between sites without paying twice.
