Roz vs Connecteam

Short answer: Pick Connecteam if you're 10 staff or fewer and want a free, modular deskless-workforce app. Pick Roz if you're past that, want one flat AUD price instead of assembling USD-priced hubs, and want AI that actively rebuilds the roster rather than a manual scheduler.

Last updated 27 September 2026 · Reviewed by the Roz team

Connecteam is a modular deskless-workforce app split into three hubs — Operations (scheduling, time clock), Communications (chat), and HR & Skills — each priced separately in USD, even on its Australian site. Roz is a standalone AI-first rostering tool, priced per site in AUD with unlimited management users. If your team is 10 or fewer, Connecteam's free-for-life plan is a strong deal; past that, Roz's flat AUD pricing and AI roster editor check the rules you set without needing a top tier.

	Roz	Connecteam
Core focus	AI-first rostering that drafts, rebuilds, and repairs the roster, then reaches staff to confirm the change.	Modular deskless-workforce app: separate Operations (scheduling), Communications (chat), and HR & Skills hubs, each priced on its own.
AI capability	Roz rebuilds the roster after a sick call, proposes rule-compliant swaps, and flags coverage gaps and overtime risk before you publish, on every plan.	"Automatically assign shifts" is listed under Employee Rostering, but only on the Expert tier ($99 USD/month). AI features found elsewhere are chat-translation tools (Communications Hub), not scheduling AI.
Compliance handling	Fixed rules you set for rest hours, qualifications/certifications, and availability blackouts, checked on every roster build.	No Australian award interpretation or Fair Work compliance found on the pricing page. Connecteam publishes general award/labour-law guide content, but that's informational, not an automated check.
Staff communication	Roz messages staff on WhatsApp, Telegram, and email; staff reply on WhatsApp, Telegram, or in the Roz app to request leave, swap a shift, or say they're running late.	In-app chat with AI-powered translation, in the separate Communications Hub. Push notifications via the Updates feature. No WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS found.
Pricing model	Per site + active staff, with unlimited management users on every plan. From $49/month AUD, incl. GST, published on the pricing page.	Per hub, in USD: Operations Hub Basic $29/month (first 30 users, ≈AU$41.28), Advanced $49 (≈AU$69.75), Expert $99 (≈AU$140.91). Free for life, all hubs, up to 10 users.
Best for	Businesses with 1 to 8 sites that want AI doing the roster building and fixing, and checking the rules you set, in one flat AUD price.	Deskless teams of 10 or fewer wanting a free, all-in-one ops/comms/HR app, or larger teams happy to pay per hub in USD.

Pricing, compared

Connecteam's Australian-localised pricing page (au.connecteam.com) shows every price in USD, not AUD. Scheduling lives in the Operations Hub: Basic is $29 USD/month flat for the first 30 users, Advanced is $49 USD/month, and Expert is $99 USD/month, each with a small per-extra-user rate above 30 (annual billing saves 18%). For a 15-person site, that's flat $29 USD/month on Basic — since 15 is under the 30-user threshold — which converts to approximately AU$41.28/month at the 1 USD = 1.42337 AUD rate quoted by xe.com on 27 September 2026. That's a calculated conversion, not a Connecteam-quoted AUD price, and Basic doesn't include the "Automatically assign shifts" feature — that's Expert-tier only, which converts to roughly AU$140.91/month at the same 15-user headcount. If you also need the Communications or HR & Skills hubs, each is a separate subscription on top. Connecteam's strong offer is its Small Business plan: free for life, all three hubs, up to 10 users. Roz's Lite plan is a flat $49/month AUD, incl. GST, for a 15-person site, with the AI roster editor, compliance checks, and staff comms all included in one price — no hubs to assemble, no currency conversion to do.

When Roz is the better fit

Once your team passes Connecteam's 10-user free cap, or once auto-scheduling means paying for its $99 USD/month Expert tier, Roz's flat, all-inclusive AUD price starts to look simpler and often cheaper — and it comes with the AI roster editor and rule checks — rest hours, qualifications, blackouts — on every plan, not gated behind a top tier. Staff hear about changes on WhatsApp, Telegram, or email, with no separate Communications Hub subscription required.

When Connecteam is the better fit

For a deskless team of 10 or fewer, Connecteam's free-for-life Small Business plan — scheduling, chat, and HR & Skills all included — is one of the most generous offers we found researching this comparison set. Its modular hub pricing also lets a larger business pay only for what it uses, and its broad AU-facing content footprint (dedicated award and labour-law guide pages) is a genuine resource even though the product itself doesn't do award interpretation. If your workforce spans retail, field services, hospitality, cleaning, security, healthcare, transport, or construction and you want one app across ops, comms, and HR, Connecteam's breadth is a real strength.

Common questions

Is Roz a Connecteam alternative?

For rostering, yes. Connecteam is a modular deskless-workforce app — separate Operations, Communications, and HR & Skills hubs, each priced on its own — where scheduling is one feature inside the Operations Hub. Roz is a standalone AI-first rostering tool with one AUD price per site. If you just need the roster built and staff messaged, Roz is narrower and doesn't require assembling hubs.

What does Connecteam cost?

All prices on Connecteam's Australian pricing page are shown in USD, not AUD. The Operations Hub (which includes scheduling) has Basic at $29 USD/month for the first 30 users, Advanced at $49 USD/month, and Expert at $99 USD/month, each with a per-extra-user rate above 30. A Small Business plan is free for life for up to 10 users across all three hubs. Annual billing saves 18%.

Is Connecteam priced in AUD?

No. Connecteam's own AU-localised pricing page (au.connecteam.com) states prices are in USD. Converted at 1 USD = 1.42337 AUD (xe.com, 27 September 2026), the $29 USD Operations Hub Basic tier is approximately AU$41.28/month — a calculated conversion, not a Connecteam-quoted AUD price.

Does Connecteam auto-schedule shifts?

Connecteam lists "Automatically assign shifts" as a feature of Employee Rostering, but only on the Expert tier ($99 USD/month for the first 30 users) — not on the cheaper Basic tier. Roz's AI roster editor, which drafts, rebuilds after a sick call, and proposes rule-compliant swaps, is included on every plan.

Does Connecteam handle Australian award interpretation?

We found no mention of Australian modern award interpretation or Fair Work compliance on Connecteam's Australian pricing page. Roz checks the rules you set — rest hours, qualifications, and blackout dates — on every roster build, but that isn't award interpretation. Connecteam does publish general award and labour-law guide content, but that's informational, not an automated compliance check.

Do Roz or Connecteam message staff on WhatsApp?

Not on Connecteam, as far as we could find — its chat feature lives inside the separate Communications Hub, with AI-powered in-chat translation on the Expert tier, but no WhatsApp, Telegram, or SMS channel confirmed on the pricing page. Roz messages staff over WhatsApp, Telegram, and email at no extra cost; staff reply on WhatsApp, Telegram, or in the Roz app.

Which is better for a small Australian business?

If you're 10 staff or fewer, Connecteam's free-for-life Small Business plan (all three hubs included) is hard to beat on price. Above 10, its USD pricing and modular hub structure mean the real cost depends on which hubs you need. Roz is a flat AUD price with the AI roster editor and rule checks (rest hours, qualifications, blackouts) included from the first dollar.

Is my staff data safe with an AI?

Your roster data is stored in Sydney. Roz's AI runs on Claude, made by Anthropic, which doesn't train on your data. Roz suggests changes, and no roster change goes out until you approve it. Read more on our security page.

USD figures are converted at 1 USD = 1.42337 AUD (xe.com, quoted 27 September 2026) — not vendor-quoted AUD prices. It's a fair, factual overview, not an exhaustive feature list. Where a fact couldn't be independently re-confirmed on Connecteam's own pages (GST basis, AU-specific customer names, exact payroll-integration detail), we've said so rather than guessed.
