Consider switching to Trello: Trello offers project management features but lacks comprehensive employee management tools.
Homebase processes payroll natively within the platform, while Connecteam handles time tracking and timesheet export to Gusto, QuickBooks, Paychex, Xero, and ADP. Homebase prices per location with unlimited team members on paid tiers; Connecteam prices per hub (Operations, Communications, HR & Skills) with the first 30 users included in the flat base fee. Connecteam offers richer communication tools (group chat, knowledge base, help desk, video updates) and employee training (courses, quizzes) that Homebase lacks. Homebase is better suited for single-location US businesses that want scheduling and payroll in one system; Connecteam is designed for multi-location and international deployments with deskless workforces up to 10,000 employees.
Connecteam tracks time and generates timesheets but does not process payroll itself. Timesheets with hours, jobs, and labor allocations export to payroll providers including Gusto, QuickBooks, Paychex, Xero, and ADP. The platform handles GPS-verified clock-ins, geofencing, NFC clock-ins, kiosk mode, and auto clock-out, but the actual payroll calculation, tax filing, and direct deposit happen through the connected provider.
Connecteam splits its platform into three independently priced hubs so buyers only pay for what they need: Operations (time clock, scheduling, forms, tasks), Communications (chat, updates, surveys, directory, knowledge base, help desk), and HR & Skills (time off, training, documents, recognition). You can subscribe to one hub, two, or all three, and mix tiers (for example Operations Expert with Communications Basic). Teams of 10 or under get all three hubs free for life on the Small Business Plan, and all Expert plans across the three hubs together total $297/month for the first 30 users.
The Small Business Plan is free for life with all three hubs and their most popular features, capped at 10 users total, a package Connecteam values at roughly $4,000/year. Reviewers report that inactive users (people who have left but remain in the system) count toward the 10-user limit. Teams between 11 and 30 users can use the free Limited plan after the 14-day trial to access each hub's essentials. Above 30 users, paid hubs start at $29/month for the first 30 users with small per-user fees beyond.
Yes. Connecteam's own pricing page explicitly recommends the Enterprise plan for companies with 201 to 10,000 employees, with named customers including SodaStream (a PepsiCo company), Sodexo, Saint Gobain, Berry Global, Nike, and The UPS Store. The SodexoMAGIC deployment alone runs across nearly 5,000 employees at 1,649 sites. The Enterprise tier adds SSO (Okta, Google, Active Directory), 2FA, biometric app lock, dedicated success management, higher API limits, webhook management, and unlimited time clocks and schedules, and typically runs alongside existing ERP and HCM systems rather than as a replacement for them.
Connecteam's time clock includes GPS geolocation stamps at clock-in and clock-out, a map display showing locations, geofencing that restricts clock-ins to designated sites (up to 10 on Advanced, unlimited on Expert), NFC clock-ins, auto clock-out based on geofence boundaries, and Breadcrumbs GPS location tracking on Expert and above. The kiosk station mode allows multiple users to clock in from a single shared device at a fixed location.
Connecteam's integrations page lists payroll providers (Gusto, QuickBooks, Paychex, Xero, ADP), POS systems (Square, Lightspeed, Shopify, Clover), HR platforms (BambooHR, PrismHR), booking tools (Wix Bookings), physical time clocks (Accu-Time Systems and Synel, both in beta), and Zapier for custom automation workflows. The platform also offers API access starting from the Expert tier for building custom connections.
Connecteam's Trust Center lists SOC 2 Type 2, ISO/IEC 27001, GDPR, HIPAA (requires a signed BAA per account), CCPA, and PCI DSS certifications. Security features include role-based access control, Active Directory SSO (Enterprise plan only), configurable password policies with 2FA/MFA, biometric app lock (Enterprise plan), and IP restrictions available on request. All certifications apply to every plan including Free.
