Factorial review

Factorial starts at $8 per user per month and builds each plan from modules, which makes it one of the cheaper ways into a full HR suite. Every plan includes Factorial Core: an employee directory, onboarding and offboarding, payslip distribution, bulk document sending, legal e-signature and fillable PDFs. Time off adds unlimited policies and custom absence types, and time tracking supports geolocation, QR clock-in and overtime, with shift scheduling for rotating teams. Beyond HR it offers recruitment, performance reviews, training, expenses with OCR receipt reading, project time tracking and IT device management. Factorial says more than 17,000 companies use it. The trade-off is that the $8 rate is a floor: plans are tailored, so adding time tracking, talent and finance modules raises the per-user cost, and the price is only confirmed in a quote. The company is based in Barcelona, so US buyers should confirm payroll coverage for their states before signing.
