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.

Compare Connecteam vs Homebase →
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
Jibble
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
When I Work
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
