Connecteam vs Rippling: Which is best for you?

Connecteam has allowed me to manage a large team of 36 people and track that their fieldwork is where they are supposed to be, especially when they use bathroom breaks to nearby faculties and to see they clocked in at our staging area.

The biggest challenge has been occasional bugs and issues, particularly with syncing across devices or when exporting time-tracking reports. While these aren’t dealbreakers, they can slow down workflows if they happen during a busy period.

Overall, the platform is powerful and intuitive. While the initial setup for specific payroll configurations took some effort, the automation it provides for onboarding and employee management is unmatched by other platforms we've used As you add more modules (IT, HR, Device Management), the per-user monthly cost adds up quickly, which might be steep for very small startups.

They don’t always publish transparent pricing, so it’s hard to predict exactly how much it will cost, especially as you add more employees or modules, also in certain cases, communication is via ticketing or email, and users feel there’s a lack of dedicated human contact or escalation for critical problems.
