Is Field a good alternative to Connecteam if I also need quotes and invoices?

Yes, that is the main difference. Field keeps jobs, quotes, invoices and online booking in the same app as rosters and timesheets. Connecteam focuses on managing your people, with scheduling, time clock, chat and HR.

Can my crew clock in with no signal?

In Field, clock-ins, notes and photos save on the phone and sync when you are back in range. Connecteam's help pages say its app can't currently be used offline, on mobile, kiosk or desktop.

Do Field and Connecteam both check where my crew clocks in?

Yes. Field checks each clock-in against the job site. Connecteam lets you set a geofence around an address so staff clock in at the right place.
