Punch vs Connecteam
Connecteam is an all-in-one suite split across three separately-priced hubs, with per-user fees once you pass 30 people. Punch is one focused time-and-pay app at a flat price per org, every feature on every plan. Here's the honest comparison.
What you're actually paying for
Connecteam's plans cover your first 30 users at a fixed tier price, then add a per-user fee for everyone after that, on each hub you subscribe to. Time tracking lives in the Operations hub; comms and HR are separate purchases.
Punch is one flat price per organization. Owners never count toward the cap, every feature is included on every plan, and there are no separate hubs to stack. The bill doesn't change when you add your 31st person or your fifth manager.

$129.99/mo
Punch Scale, time tracking and time off in one app, owners never counted
from $300+/mo
Connecteam, Operations hub + a separate HR hub for time off, across two subscriptions
Time off is not in the time-tracking product at all. It lives in a separate paid hub, and every hub bills per user past 30. Punch keeps it in one app.
Two subscriptions to match what Punch does in one, at well above Punch's flat price.

See how the import worksWhy teams choose Punch over Connecteam
Punch wins on focus and on price. Connecteam charges per user once you pass 30 and splits its features across three separately priced hubs, so you pay more as you grow and pay for corners of the product you never open. Punch is one flat price for your whole organization, owners never counted, every feature on every plan from the first day. Geofenced punch-in, PTO accruals with tenure milestones, overtime presets for 15 countries, and payroll-ready exports come standard, never gated, never metered. Time and pay, done exceptionally well, without the per-head tax or the sprawling suite you didn't ask for.
FAQ
Questions, answered.
- Is Connecteam really priced per user?
- Your first 30 users are covered at the tier price, but every user past 30 adds a per-user monthly fee, on each hub you subscribe to. Punch is one flat price per org with no per-user fees and owners not counted.
- What are Connecteam's hubs?
- Connecteam sells three separate products, Operations (where time tracking lives), Communications, and HR & Skills. Wanting more than one means stacking subscriptions. Punch is a single focused app with every feature on every plan.
- Does Punch do scheduling and team chat like Connecteam?
- No, and that's deliberate. Punch focuses on time tracking, approvals, PTO, and payroll-ready exports. If you need built-in scheduling, chat, training, and an Android app in one suite, Connecteam is the broader fit.
- How do I move my Connecteam data to Punch?
- Export your timesheets from Connecteam (Time Clock → Timesheets → Export), then upload the file in Punch's import wizard. It matches each name to a teammate and brings over shifts, lunches, and approval statuses.
