Alternatives
Connecteam alternatives
Connecteam is a solid choice, but not for everyone. Teams that want biometric proof at clock-in (see Jibble), or an office/salaried workforce that doesn't move between sites. Here's what to look at instead.
Editor's Pick
Homebase
The cheapest real fix for buddy punching, especially if you're already using it for scheduling
Free plan available for a single location with basic scheduling and time tracking. Paid plans (Essentials and up) that add GPS clock-in verification and geo-fencing run in the range typical for SMB scheduling tools, roughly $20-$100+/month per location depending on tier and team size.8.2/10

The one buddy-punching tool that gives you real facial recognition free, for unlimited users
Free forever for unlimited users, and the free plan is the point: it includes facial recognition, GPS, geofencing, kiosk mode, and NFC, the anti-buddy-punching features other tools charge for. Paid Premium and Ultimate tiers (per user, monthly) add automation like advanced timesheets, approvals, and scheduling; confirm current per-seat rates on their site.8.2/10

Per-user pricing makes it the buddy-punching fix for very small teams
Per user per month: Essentials $2.50, Pro $5, Premium $8. Time Tracking & Attendance is an add-on toggle on any plan that raises the per-user price, and When I Work doesn't publish the add-on cost cleanly on the pricing page. No contracts, no user minimums.7.8/10
