## The answer, as recorded

Asked on 2026-09-25 through Claude (Anthropic) with web search (model claude-opus-5).

> "Remote team" covers two pretty different jobs, so here's my ranked list with the split called out - the top pick depends on whether you're scheduling shift coverage or coordinating salaried people across time zones.
> 
> **1. Deputy** - My default recommendation if you genuinely need *shifts* covered. It's the strongest all-rounder: scheduling, time tracking, qualification/compliance rules, shift swaps, and AI demand forecasting in one place. Reviewers consistently rate its interface above competitors', and it handles multi-timezone and working-hour rules properly rather than as an afterthought. Roughly $5/user/mo (Lite) up to $9 (Pro). ([Deputy review](https://connecteam.com/reviews/deputy/), [G2 comparison](https://www.g2.com/compare/deputy-vs-when-i-work))
> 
> **2. When I Work** - The budget pick, from about $2.50/user/mo. Excellent mobile app, easy self-service shift swapping and availability updates, and automated shift reminders - which matters a lot when nobody's in an office to see a posted schedule. Catch: time tracking is a paid add-on, so the real cost is higher than the headline. ([comparison](https://turnozo.com/blog/employee-scheduling-software-pricing))
> 
> **3. Connecteam**

Answer Watch records what one AI answer engine said on one date, nothing more. Each page names the engine and the model, carries the date the question was asked, and lists the brands that appeared in the answer in the order the engine gave them, with the sources it cited. It is a measurement, not a ranking, not a recommendation and not a claim about the world. Brands that did not appear in an answer are not named on any public page.
