Connecteam Plans: Seats, Hubs, and Qualifying Tiers
Choose your Connecteam plan by mapping must-haves to qualifying tiers — seats, hubs, pools, and add-ons — not homepage “from” tiles.
Quick answer
Choose a Connecteam plan by mapping must-haves for frontline workforce management to a qualifying tier — seats, hubs, pools, and add-ons included — not by comparing homepage “from” tiles. Never invent list prices here — confirm seats, hubs, and quote terms on /pricing/connecteam/.
- List day-one must-haves
- Map to a researched qualifying plan
- Price hubs / add-ons you will actually use
- Confirm trial or free proving ground
- Write the quote before you buy
Connecteam packaging rules
- Tiles are the bottom layer — Researched plans: Small Business Free, Basic (per hub), Advanced (per hub), Expert (per hub).
- Gates change the bill — Our research does not flag plan-gated capabilities for Connecteam, but confirm your must-haves — including seats, hubs, and add-ons — against the packaging you actually intend to buy.
- Free is a proving ground — Our pricing snapshot records a 14-day trial on Basic (per hub), Advanced (per hub), and Expert (per hub) — confirm current terms on the Connecteam pricing page before you build a schedule around it.
- Wrong cluster, wrong comparison — Do not compare Connecteam (frontline workforce management) to a dedicated ATS or a pure time clock on a single price tile.
Connecteam qualifying configuration
1. List must-haves, then qualify
Must-haves should match publish next week’s shifts for one site, notify deskless staff, and confirm a worker opened the mobile app. Research-supported features include applicant tracking, workforce scheduling, frontline communications, and time and attendance. Worked example: Northline Ops (35 frontline users across two sites) drops a cheaper tile when the must-have workflow unlocks only on a higher hub.
2. Compare like for like
Never invent list prices here — confirm seats, hubs, and quote terms on /pricing/connecteam/. Worked example: Northline Ops (35 frontline users across two sites) totals the qualifying configuration at their headcount — not the marketing starter tile — then asks for the quote in writing.
Connecteam must vs nice
- Core job on entry plan

3. Map must-haves to plan names in writing
Map must-have workflows to the Connecteam plan that unlocks them — demos often run above the tier you can afford.
Compare Small Business Free, Basic (per hub), Advanced (per hub), and Expert (per hub) on the same headcount assumption.
Worked example: Deskless / frontline teams needing scheduling + mobile communications screenshots the plan shown in demo and matches it to /pricing/connecteam/.
4. Model seats, usage, and add-ons together
Build one sheet: seats, usage units, add-on SKUs, and overage triggers for Connecteam. Compare totals — not entry tiles.
5. Get a written quote on the qualifying configuration
Ask Connecteam for a quote that names plan, seats, usage band, and add-ons. Store it next to alternatives with the same assumptions.
Worked example: Deskless / frontline teams needing scheduling + mobile communications files quotes in the same folder with identical date and headcount headers.

Frequently asked questions
Does a free Connecteam plan count?
Our pricing snapshot records a 14-day trial on Basic (per hub), Advanced (per hub), and Expert (per hub) — confirm current terms on the Connecteam pricing page before you build a schedule around it.
Should we pay annually?
Only after the qualifying configuration is written. Annual discounts do not fix the wrong hub.
