Connecteam vs MirrorFly

Same facts, side by side: starting price, free tier, MCP, API and what each one is actually built for.

Starting price

Connecteam

$29/mo Free tier 14 day free trial

Deskless operations, comms, and HR app. Free for up to 10 users; paid Operations starts at $29/mo for the first 30 users.

Where Connecteam fits

  • Deskless and field teams
  • Small businesses under 10 people (free)
  • Companies that want time clock plus chat in one app
  • Operators who will not buy a full HRIS

MirrorFly

Quote

MirrorFly is a build kit for companies that want their own branded, self-hosted chat and calling app rather than renting Slack or Teams. It is sold as a one-time license by quote, so it suits organisations with developers and strict data-control needs, not a recruiting team looking for a ready-made tool.

Where MirrorFly fits

  • Companies that must keep chat and call data on their own servers
  • Teams building a branded messaging or calling app
  • Regulated sectors such as healthcare, banking and government

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

MirrorFly

Stands out: You own it: MirrorFly is licensed once rather than per user per month, can run entirely on your own servers or private cloud, and comes with optional full source code, so chat and call data never has to leave your infrastructure.

Watch out: There is no published price, no free trial and no free plan, only a demo. It is a developer product: you get SDKs, a UI kit and a white-label app to build on, so expect a project to launch it rather than a sign-up and go.

Not the right fit for

  • Small teams that want team chat working today
  • Buyers who need a published price list
  • Recruiters looking for candidate texting or messaging tools

Pros and cons

  • Office knowledge-work teams will find it the wrong shape

MirrorFly

  • One-time license, no per-user monthly fees
  • Runs fully on your own servers
  • Full source code and white-labeling available
  • No published pricing
  • No free trial or free plan
