The best Connecteam alternatives in 2026

Connecteam bundles scheduling, time tracking, chat, checklists and training into one staff app, which is why deskless teams like it. The catch for some is that those tools are separate hubs, each its own subscription, with per-user fees past 30 people. These are the alternatives worth comparing.

GetUp is our product. It appears on this list where it fits, with its limits spelled out. Every price was read from the vendor's own pricing page on September 15, 2026.

Why people look for Connecteam alternatives

Hubs add up
Operations, Communications and HR & Skills are priced separately. Advanced on all three is $147 a month for the first 30 users.
Per-user fees past 30
Each hub adds a fee for every user beyond 30, from $0.50 to $4.20 depending on the hub and tier.
The back office sits elsewhere
Wages, supplier invoices and your accountant's access usually end up in other tools.

How to choose

  1. 01

    List the hubs you'd really use

    If you only need scheduling and time tracking, price that alone against all-in-one options.

  2. 02

    Count users a year out

    A price that's flat up to 30 users behaves very differently at 45.

  3. 03

    Check the manager side too

    A strong staff app doesn't help much if wages and reports still end up in spreadsheets.

The alternatives, in detail

  1. 01

    GetUp

    Our product

    Best for: Multi-location teams that need the back office covered

    Scheduling, check-in and wages from real hours sit with an invoice and receipt archive, accountant logins and an AI assistant, on one flat plan.

    Where it's strong

    • Several brands and locations under one account and one login
    • Wages calculated from each person's real check-in and check-out times
    • An invoice and receipt archive with the original files, plus sales invoices in the Stock module on Scale
    • Accountants get their own login with per-feature access, without taking an employee seat
    • An AI assistant that answers from your own shifts, wages and invoices

    Watch out for

    • It doesn't withhold or file payroll taxes, so US and UK teams still finish payroll with a provider or accountant
    • One account is one company: separate legal entities need separate accounts
    • No free plan, and no billing in GBP
    • Staff check in by entering a code shown on the location's tablet, so everyone needs their own login

    $108 / €99 a month

    Flat monthly plans. Core is $108 for up to 25 employees, 3 locations and 2 brands; Growth is $173 (60 employees, 6 locations); Scale is $282 (100 employees, 10 locations). Extra employees on Core cost $7 each a month. Billed in USD, EUR or PLN.

    Per user a month: Lite $5, Core $6.50, Pro $9, with 10% off annual billing and a $30 monthly minimum (£20 in the UK). Deputy Payroll is $8 per user plus a $49 monthly base fee; HR is $2 per user.
