Short answer. An owner who runs a small non-medical home care agency has five jobs a tool can touch: scheduling caregivers and covering open shifts, visit notes and billing, caregiver training, reviews, and posts. Care-specific software (AlayaCare, CareSmartz360, WellSky Personal Care) covers the first two and shows no price on its page, only a demo request. The general tools below have prices on their pages. The eight are alphabetical, not scored.
How we chose
The vendor's own page describes home care work, or it is a general tool an owner could use. Prices are as each vendor shows them on its own pages, read on 7 Nov 2026 between 21:58 and 22:10 UTC, in US dollars, with the billing term the page gives. Each link goes to the vendor's page and is the source for that row. We read pages and ran none of these tools except Wanna. We tried AxisCare and could not read its page (the site refused our request), so it is not in the list.
The eight
| Tool | What it does | Price, read 7 Nov 2026 | Honest minus |
|---|---|---|---|
| AlayaCare | Scheduling and authorization tracking, a Scheduling Agent for vacant visits, EVV, a Billing Agent, AI summaries of clients and notes | No price on the page. Pricing is not shown | No figure to compare. You learn the cost only by asking, and the page reads as written for larger operators |
| Buffer | Schedules posts across social channels, AI Assistant on all plans | Free: 3 channels, 10 scheduled posts each. Essentials 5 a month per channel, 60 billed yearly. Team 10 a month, 120 yearly. 14-day trial | A posting tool, not a care tool. The page is inconsistent on the annual discount, so confirm the yearly price |
| CareAcademy | Online caregiver training, state-based assigned courses, reminders before due dates, audit-ready reports | Essentials 239 a month, billed monthly. Advanced 383 a month, annual commitment. Complete 419 a month, annual commitment. Seat add-ons on top | Training only, no scheduling or billing. The FAQ states a 1-year minimum contract |
| CareSmartz360 | AI shift matching, a voice bot that calls caregivers before shifts, visit-note drafting, multi-payer billing, payroll, EVV | No standard price on the page. A 50% offer "for the rest of 2026" and a demo request | The discount has no base price to apply to, so the real cost is a question for them |
| Homebase | Staff scheduling, shift trading, time tracking, an AI Scheduling Assistant from Plus | Basic 0 for 1 location and up to 10 employees. Essentials 30 a month, Plus 70, All-in-One 120, per location. 14-day trial of All-in-One, no card | Not built for care: no EVV, client records or Medicaid billing. The page does not say whether the prices are yearly or monthly |
| NiceJob | Review requests by text and email, AI replies to reviews | Starter 95 a month. Pro 135. 14-day trial | AI Replies start at Pro, 135. Not a care tool |
| WellSky Personal Care | Software for non-medical home care: scheduling and visit records, a family portal, applicant tracking, AI documentation tools | No price on the page, only "Request a demo" | No price to compare, and no free way to try it on the page |
| Wanna | Reads your site, proposes the week's tasks, drafts posts, ads and letters; posts and ads wait for your OK | Smart 10 a month, Sharp 20, Genius 50, each for 1 company; Scale 150 for up to 5 companies. Model work runs on your own Claude or ChatGPT plan | No free plan. Early: 5 customer companies on the live page, 7 Nov 2026. Not care software: no scheduling, EVV, visit notes or billing |
By job
Caregiver scheduling and open shifts: Homebase as a general tool, AlayaCare and CareSmartz360 as care-specific ones. Visit notes, EVV and billing: AlayaCare, CareSmartz360, WellSky Personal Care. Caregiver training: CareAcademy. Review requests and replies: NiceJob, with AI Replies on Pro. Posts on a schedule: Buffer. The next marketing task, picked and drafted for your OK: Wanna. Related: local service businesses, which also win repeat work from people nearby.
What Wanna is and is not
Wanna drafts. Posts and ads wait for your OK, and sending letters is off until you turn it on (Trust). On the live page on 7 Nov 2026: 5 customer companies counted together, and no paid-plan count shown. We have no home care results to show, and Wanna does not schedule caregivers, verify visits or bill payers.
What this list does not replace
It does not replace your own demo: we read pages, not products. It does not replace your state's licensing rules, your caregiver background checks and training requirements, your payer's EVV and billing rules, or your insurance. Software that stores client health notes raises privacy questions we did not check for any tool. See the limits of a self-running company.
