Bottom line

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

Stands out for: 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 for: 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.

Overview

Connecteam is a mobile app for deskless workforces: time clock, scheduling, tasks and forms (Operations), chat and knowledge (Communications), hiring, onboarding, time off, and recognition (HR). Hubs are sold separately. Up to 10 employees can run the small-business plan free.

Operations Basic is $29/month for the first 30 users on annual billing ($0.80 per extra user), or $35 monthly. Advanced and Expert step up from there. A 14-day trial needs no card. Connectors include Gusto, Zapier, Square, and Shopify. Scheduling here is shift scheduling for field teams, not interview infrastructure.
