Connecteam Pricing Explained (2026): Hubs, Tiers, and the Free Plan

Connecteam prices differently from every other time clock, and the difference is the whole story: features live in separate hubs, each hub has its own paid tiers, and the price you'll actually pay depends on which hubs you need and how many people you have. There's also a genuinely free Small Business plan for up to 10 users, which is the best free offer in the category if you fit inside it.

How the hub model works

Connecteam splits into an Operations hub (the time clock, scheduling, forms, and tasks), a Communications hub (chat, updates, directory), and an HR hub (training, documents, recognition). Each hub is priced and tiered separately. The time clock a field crew needs lives in the Operations hub, so that hub's tier pricing is your real starting point, and each tier includes a set number of users with a per-user rate above it.

The math to do before the demo: pick the hubs you'd actually use, pick the tier inside each that carries the features you need, add the overage for users beyond the included count, and total it per month. That number often lands somewhere very different from the headline price.

The free plan, honestly

For 10 or fewer users, the Small Business plan is free and genuinely usable. If you're a small crew and price is the only criterion, it's the strongest free option in this market and it would be dishonest not to say so. The tradeoffs show up as you grow past 10, when the hub-and-tier math starts, and in the product's breadth: Connecteam is an employee-management platform where time tracking is one module among many, which is a good fit for some companies and a bad fit for others.

Questions to ask on the demo

Which Operations tier carries geofencing and the approvals flow you need.
How many users each tier includes, and the per-user rate past that number.
Whether you need a second hub for anything on your must-have list, and what that hub's tier costs.
What annual versus monthly billing changes.

When Connecteam is the right choice

A larger team that wants comms, training, and HR alongside the time clock gets a lot of platform for the money here, and consolidating tools has real value. If you'd otherwise buy a chat tool, an LMS, and a time clock separately, the hub model can be the cheaper path.

How Clox compares

Clox is the opposite shape: time tracking for field crews is the entire product, and the price is one line. $29 a month includes 3 users, then $6 per user, with every feature on the one plan: geofencing, the worksites map, scheduling, approvals, and payroll exports. No hubs, no tiers, no included-user math. Free for 14 days, no credit card. If your must-have list is punches, schedules, and payroll, compare the two directly or see Clox pricing.

FAQ

Is Connecteam really free for small teams?

Yes, the Small Business plan covers up to 10 users at no cost as of July 2026. Confirm which features sit outside it on the live pricing page.

Do I have to buy all three hubs?

No. Hubs are purchased separately, which is the point of the model and the reason the math needs doing.

Where does the time clock live?

In the Operations hub, so that hub's tiers are the ones a field crew should price first.

One flat plan instead of hubs and tiers. $29 a month includes 3 users, then $6 per user. Free for 14 days, no credit card.
