Key differences
The differences that matter
Researched from publicly available sources, July 2026.
One package instead of three hubs
With Connecteam, communication, operations (shifts, time), and HR are three separately paid hubs; anyone who needs everything pays three times. teamly bundles news, chat, shift plan, knowledge, and onboarding into one package price based on the number of users.
Server location Germany, in black and white
Connecteam is ISO 27001 certified and advertises GDPR compliance, but makes no public statement about the server location. teamly guarantees hosting in German, ISO 27001 certified data centers, with German contract law and a data processing agreement, as data protection officers and works councils expect.

German-speaking support instead of EN-first support
Connecteam is an EN-first product with international support. teamly provides each account with a German-speaking Customer Success Manager who knows works agreements, data processing agreements, and German compliance topics.

Pricing and contract
How both vendors calculate
Connecteam
Connecteam has public prices, but a hub model: Operations, Communications, and HR & Skills each have their own entry price (paid annually) for a base number of users, above which a surcharge applies per user and hub. Micro teams up to 10 users use the free plan. The private branded app is reserved for higher plans.
Buy or rent
teamly does not publish a price list either. The quote is calculated individually based on the number of users and modules, either as a purchase or a rental. Contract term: 24-month minimum, then a 12-month renewal with 3 months notice. Your own branded app in the App Store is included in every package.
