ClockShark vs. Connecteam

Connecteam’s “all-in-one” positioning sounds appealing, but in practice, it forces businesses to pay for multiple hubs—and multiple upgrades—before they get the features they actually need. Core field-operations tools like breadcrumb GPS tracking, geofencing, and advanced job-level reporting are locked behind the most expensive tiers, making accurate time tracking and real field visibility difficult without premium add-ons.

Even when fully upgraded, Connecteam still misses key capabilities field teams rely on: dependable GPS logs, deeper payroll prep tools, intuitive scheduling, and consistent integrations for payroll and accounting. And because the platform is built for a wide range of industries—not specifically construction and field service—crews often face extra clicks, unnecessary modules, and workflows that feel more complex than the workday itself.

For many teams, the result is predictable: higher costs, limited GPS accuracy, and more admin time spent fixing timesheets, reconciling job codes, or exporting data into other systems.
