Similar price. No cleaning features.
Versus all-in-one for $199.
A cleaning operation needs at minimum Connecteam's Operations hub (scheduling, GPS) and Communications hub (messaging). At Expert tier: $99 + $99 = $198/mo for 30 users. ProTeams Grow is $199/mo for 33 users — plus proof of service, client portal, and contract reminders that Connecteam doesn't offer at any tier.
Connecteam pricing sourced from connecteam.com/pricing (Q1 2026). Operations Expert ($99/mo) + Communications Expert ($99/mo) = $198/mo for up to 30 users. Hub-by-hub pricing means features a cleaning operator needs are split across separate subscriptions. ProTeams pricing is permanent — not promotional.
Connecteam and ProTeams solve different problems
Connecteam is a well-built general workforce platform. It's simply not designed for the contract accountability requirements of commercial cleaning operators.
Your client says last week's overnight service was incomplete. Connecteam shows your crew clocked in. It doesn't show what building was cleaned, what tasks were done, or any client-facing documentation.
What running ProTeams actually looks like
"We’ve had a great experience using the ProTeams app for team management, scheduling, and tracking. It’s made coordinating staff much more efficient and has helped streamline communication across the team. The scheduling tools are intuitive and flexible, which makes it easy to manage shifts and updates without confusion. The tracking features also give clear visibility into activity and performance, helping us stay organized and accountable. Overall, ProTeams has been a reliable solution for keeping our operations running smoothly. Highly recommended for teams looking for a simple, effective way to manage schedules and stay connected
"Managing a portfolio of properties where maintaining clean, well-operated spaces is critical can be a significant challenge. Coordinating staff, schedules, and quality control across various sites often becomes difficult, especially when issues arise unexpectedly. ProTeams has completely streamlined how we manage our cleaning operations. It allows me to assign tasks, monitor performance, and conduct routine check-ins with ease. When something goes wrong during a shift, the ability to instantly flag the issue and address it in real time has been a game-changer."
"As an operator of a commercial cleaning company, managing schedules and team communication used to be challenging. Since using ProTeams, everything is more organized and efficient. I can track appointments, get real-time updates, and resolve issues quickly. It’s made our daily operations smoother and improved how we serve our clients."
ProTeams was built because general workforce tools don't understand cleaning contracts
ProTeams was created by someone running active commercial cleaning operations — not a software team guessing at operator needs. The features that differentiate ProTeams from Connecteam aren't nice-to-haves. They were built because our own accounts required them to survive contract renewals.
Building-centric scheduling, auto-delivered proof of service, client-facing escalation, contract reminders — these don't exist in Connecteam because they were never on its roadmap. They're in ProTeams because a cleaning operator's accounts depended on them.
