No — Connecteam produces timesheets and integrates with payroll providers like Gusto or QuickBooks Payroll, which you pay for separately. StockPoint computes W-2 withholding in-house from the same verified punches and writes net-pay checks into QuickBooks Online. (StockPoint is not a payroll bureau: you or your accountant still remit and file.)
If you have under 10 workers and only need scheduling and chat, Connecteam's free tier is genuinely good. StockPoint earns its $149 when the punch has to become a paycheck, a client invoice, and a P&L line — the work you're currently doing by hand in spreadsheets.
Connecteam's kiosk uses a 4-digit PIN and can optionally store a selfie photo; its public pages don't describe automatic face matching. StockPoint face-checks every kiosk selfie against the worker's profile automatically and flags mismatches immediately.
Yes. Some companies keep Connecteam for communication and run time, payroll, invoicing, and the client portal on StockPoint. Since StockPoint is flat-priced, adding it doesn't multiply per-user costs.
Most companies are punching at their first kiosk the same afternoon and complete the history import (workers, buildings, invoices, past hours) within days. Your P&L history comes with you.
