Connecteam
Connecteam's Operations Hub includes time clock, job scheduling, forms, and quick tasks. Billed yearly, Basic is $29/mo, Advanced $49/mo, and Expert $99/mo for the first 30 users. Billed monthly, they're $35, $59, and $119. Extra users past 30 cost $0.80–$4.20 per user per month on yearly billing, depending on tier. Its Small Business Plan is free for up to 10 users, and paid plans come with a 14-day free trial with no credit card.
Homebase
Homebase Basic is free for 1 location with up to 10 employees and includes basic scheduling and time tracking. Paid plans are priced per location with unlimited employees: Essentials $30/mo (advanced scheduling and time tracking), Plus $70/mo, and All-in-One $120/mo. The pricing page has an annual/monthly toggle, so confirm which billing the price you see applies to. Payroll is a $49/mo base add-on plus $6 per employee paid. Homebase is built around locations and shifts, so it fits shop- or location-based crews better than project-based ones.
Jobber
If you already use Jobber for jobs and invoices, Connect adds time and expense tracking. Grow adds automatic time tracking, which uses location-based timers that start and stop on their own. Plus adds crew scheduling. Jobber's plan comparison also lists crew time tracking, where a team lead runs timers for the whole crew, and a Gusto payroll sync. See Jobber vs Housecall Pro.
How to choose
- Under 10 people and price is the main concern: Connecteam's free plan or Homebase Basic.
- Hours need to land on the job for job costing: use the time tracking inside your FSM or construction platform. Contractor Foreman and Jobber both include it.
- Shop- or location-based crews with hourly shifts: Homebase.
