Connecteam Pricing 2026: $29 a Month for 30 Users

Key takeaway: $29 a month for the first 30 users is Connecteam's cheapest paid plan. Its pricing page, read on 23 October 2026, lists Basic at $29, Advanced at $49 and Expert at $99 a month per hub billed yearly, or $35, $59 and $119 billed monthly. Each user past 30 adds between $0.50 and $5.00 a month depending on hub and plan. Teams of up to 10 users can use the Small Business Plan for $0, and teams under 30 can drop to a free Limited plan after the 14-day trial.

Connecteam is an employee management app for deskless teams: time clock, scheduling, chat, training, documents, and a hiring and onboarding module. It shows up on shortlists for retail, field services and hospitality employers, often next to Homebase and When I Work. Every price below was read in a rendered browser on 23 October 2026, from both the yearly and monthly price blocks, and the arithmetic comes from a script committed with this article.

How much does Connecteam cost per month?

Connecteam sells three separate hubs, and you pay for each hub you turn on. Every paid plan charges a flat monthly price that covers your first 30 users. All prices are in US dollars.

The three hubs share the same base prices:

• Operations Hub: time clock, job scheduling, forms and quick tasks.
• Communications Hub: chat, updates, directory, surveys, events, knowledge base and help desk.
• HR & Skills Hub: time off, courses, quizzes, documents, recognition, rewards, timeline, hiring, onboarding and org chart.

On yearly billing, a single hub costs $348 a year on Basic, $588 on Advanced and $1,188 on Expert. The same hub on monthly billing costs $420, $708 and $1,428 over 12 months.

How much does Connecteam charge after 30 users?

Past the first 30 users, every additional user is billed per month. The Operations Hub costs more per extra user than the other two hubs.

Here is what one hub costs a month on yearly billing at different team sizes:

Buying all three hubs on the same plan adds up. On yearly billing, all three hubs on Advanced cost $1,764 a year for up to 30 users and $6,384 a year for 100 users. All three on Expert cost $3,564 a year for up to 30 users and $12,132 a year for 100 users.

Is Connecteam free?

Yes, for small teams. Connecteam has two free options:

• Small Business Plan: $0, "free for life," with all hubs and all features (Connecteam marks some exceptions in its feature list) for up to 10 users.
• Limited plan: for teams with more than 10 but fewer than 30 employees, after the 14-day trial. Connecteam says it is free for life and "includes the essentials of each product," so some features from the trial go away.

Every account starts with a 14-day free trial of the Expert plan, with no credit card needed.

How much do you save with yearly billing?

The pricing page advertises "save 18%" on the yearly toggle. The FAQ describes the yearly price as equal to 10 months of monthly use, which is a 16.7% discount. The actual base prices work out to 17.1% off on Basic ($29 against $35), 16.9% on Advanced and 16.8% on Expert.

On cancellation, Connecteam says the monthly subscription "can be canceled at any time (no refunds will be granted for any pre-paid amounts)," while the annual subscription includes a prorated refund if canceled within the first 30 days. You can upgrade or downgrade plans after purchase.

What hiring features does Connecteam include?

Hiring sits in the HR & Skills Hub. The plan comparison lists recruitment pipeline management with hiring stages, candidate status tracking, and an option to onboard hired candidates directly into the system as users. The hiring product page adds mobile-friendly job posts, automatic screening "with role-specific questions," and onboarding packets where new hires e-sign contracts and forms such as I-9s and W-4s in the app.

E-signature is capped by plan: HR & Skills Advanced includes up to 2 e-sign documents and Expert up to 10. That matters if you plan to run offer letters and tax forms through Connecteam. For a wider view of the category, see our roundup of employee onboarding software.

Text messages are also metered. Connecteam's help center says "No, text messages are not free": paid accounts get a monthly allowance and can buy more once it runs out.

How does Connecteam compare to Homebase, When I Work and Deputy?

All four target hourly and shift-based teams, but each meters price differently: Connecteam by hub with 30 users included, Homebase per location, and When I Work and Deputy per user. The table uses each vendor's lowest annual or published starting price, read on 23 October 2026.

For a 30-person team at one location that only needs scheduling and time tracking, the monthly list cost on annual billing works out to:

Homebase is cheapest for one site because it charges per location, but its price multiplies with each store. Deputy's monthly plans are $5.50, $7.25 and $10 per user, with a minimum monthly spend of $30 per invoice. Connecteam's flat 30-user bundle and low per-user add-on keep it below When I Work and Deputy at 100 users on Basic. Note that Operations Basic allows a single time clock and schedule; Connecteam says more than one requires Operations Advanced or above, which multi-location teams usually need.

How does Noon fit next to Connecteam?

Connecteam's hiring module handles inbound applicants: you post a job, collect applications and move candidates through stages. Its listed hiring features center on people who come to your job posts; the pricing page lists no outbound candidate sourcing. That gap matters in high-volume recruiting, where open shifts outnumber applicants.

Noon is an AI sourcer built for that outbound side. It searches the whole web for candidates, not just LinkedIn, evaluates them against your role's criteria, finds their contact details, runs personalized email and SMS outreach and books interviews, with 20+ ATS integrations. Noon sells one plan with unlimited sourcing, unlimited email enrichment, unlimited contacts, unlimited agents and unlimited seats. Noon does not publish a dollar price; the pricing page explains how to get a quote.

Sources and methodology

• Connecteam pricing page, read rendered in Chrome via Playwright on 23 October 2026. Connecteam renders its yearly and monthly price blocks together in the page, each tagged for one billing cycle; every block was read with its tag. Plan cards, the plan comparison tables and the FAQ were read from the rendered text.
• Connecteam hiring and onboarding page and the help center article Are Text Messages Free?, read rendered on 23 October 2026.
• Homebase pricing and Deputy pricing, read rendered on 23 October 2026 once per billing toggle, and When I Work pricing, read rendered the same day.
• Vendr's Connecteam page was checked on 23 October 2026 and lists no buyer-reported contract values, so no third-party estimate is used.
• Demand check: DataForSEO Google Ads volume, US, 23 October 2026: 720 searches a month each for "connecteam pricing" and "connecteam price," and 70 for "connecteam cost."
• Annual totals, savings percentages, the team-size tables and the comparison table come from seo/research/stats/connecteam-pricing-2026/compute.py. Exact quotes and fetch times are in the committed sources.json.

Limitations

• These are point-in-time list prices in US dollars on 23 October 2026, before tax. Connecteam says prices are in USD only.
• Enterprise is quote-only on every hub, so no Enterprise price is shown.
• The team-size tables assume one hub on one plan; real accounts often mix plans across hubs.
• Text message top-up prices are not on the pricing page, so SMS costs are not included.
• The comparison uses each vendor's cheapest scheduling tier. The plans are not identical bundles: Homebase Essentials, When I Work and Deputy Lite each include different features from Connecteam Operations Basic.
• Homebase's monthly toggle showed a promotional $0 Plus price tied to a payroll offer; the comparison uses list prices only.
