Factorial review

Factorial packs a lot into a modest starting price. Every plan includes Factorial Core: an employee directory, onboarding and offboarding, payslip distribution, bulk documents and legal e-signature. From there you add modules: time off with unlimited policies, time tracking with geolocation and QR clock-in, shift planning, 360 reviews, recruiting with AI CV parsing, training, expenses with receipt OCR, and even device management and SaaS license control. That breadth suits a 50 to 300 person company that wants one tool for HR and day-to-day admin. Two caveats. The pricing page only states a floor of $8 per user per month and then asks you to request a tailored quote, so the real bill depends on modules. And US buyers should confirm what the payroll module covers in their state before assuming it replaces a payroll provider. For time and attendance plus HR basics at a fair price, it is a good shortlist candidate.
