MyCo vs Connecteam
An honest side-by-side for US small and mid-sized businesses (50–500 employees). No marketing fluff — just the features, pricing, and use cases that actually matter when you're deciding.
Quick Verdict
Who wins?
Connecteam and MyCo target the same audience: US SMBs with deskless, field, hourly teams. Connecteam pioneered the category and is excellent for scheduling + communication. MyCo extends the same mobile-first DNA into US payroll, CRM, and multi-state compliance — things Connecteam doesn't do. If you need scheduling-only, Connecteam works. If you want one app for the whole back office, MyCo wins.
Choose MyCo if you...
- Need built-in US payroll (Connecteam does not have payroll)
- Need a built-in CRM for lead management
- Want multi-state tax filing included
- Want one app instead of Connecteam + payroll + CRM
- Have 50–500 person teams (Connecteam shines under 50)
- Need W-2/1099 generation at year-end
Choose Connecteam if you...
- Have under 30 employees (Connecteam free tier covers 10)
- Only need scheduling + communication, no payroll
- Already use a separate US payroll provider you love
- Want the cheapest possible scheduling-only solution
- Are international (Connecteam is US + global; MyCo is US-focused)

Why switch from Connecteam to MyCo?
If you currently use Connecteam + a separate payroll provider, MyCo replaces both with one app and one bill. For deskless US teams that need payroll, that's the main reason.
Does MyCo have a free tier like Connecteam?
MyCo offers a 30-day free trial with no credit card required. Connecteam offers a permanent free tier for under 10 users. For teams above 10, MyCo's paid plans are typically cost-competitive when you factor in the included payroll.
Is MyCo as easy to use as Connecteam on mobile?
Yes. MyCo was built mobile-first like Connecteam. The learning curve is similar; most field employees are punching in within 5 minutes of installing the app.
Can MyCo handle scheduling like Connecteam?
Yes. MyCo includes shift scheduling, swap requests, time-off management, and conflict detection. Connecteam's scheduling module is more mature in some advanced features (like skill-based assignment), but the core scheduling is comparable.
What about international teams? Connecteam works in 100+ countries.
MyCo is currently US-focused. If you have international employees, MyCo is not the right fit today. We plan to expand internationally in 2027.
