Where they pull apart

Connecteam

Stands out: A true free plan for teams of 10 or fewer, then hub-priced paid plans so you can buy operations without paying for HR or comms you will not use.

Watch out: The $29 Operations hub covers the first 30 users; extra users are per head, and Communications and HR are separate hubs. 14-day trial, no card.

Not the right fit for

  • Office-first knowledge workers
  • Enterprises that need Workday-grade HR
  • Teams that only want a dedicated ATS

EasyLlama

Stands out: State-specific harassment courses plus AI reporting, phishing simulations, and HRIS sync on the same LMS.

Watch out: Plans are annual. Pay Per Course and seat plans have a 10-unit minimum and sell in increments of 5. There is no free trial.

Not the right fit for

  • Buyers who need a month-to-month public plan
  • Teams that want a free trial before paying
