Reviewed by iTechGuides Editors · Editorial team · Updated Oct 2026
Factorial is cloud-based HR and business management software for small and medium-sized businesses. It brings employee information, onboarding and offboarding, time-off management, time tracking, documents, performance reviews, payroll processes, reporting, and organizational charts into one system. Employees can access personal and work information, request time off, view documents, and track working time when enabled. Mobile apps support employee and manager workflows, including time tracking, notifications, and time-off management.
The published Factorial Core plan costs $8 per user per month with monthly billing. It includes an employee directory, onboarding and offboarding, payslip distribution, bulk document sending, legal e-signature, and custom notifications. The wider product includes time-off policies and calendars, clock-in and clock-out tools, breaks, QR tracking, geolocation, performance review periods, 360-degree feedback, goals, performance insights, document storage, digital signatures, reports, analytics, and payroll-provider integrations. There is no free plan, so teams should assess the per-user cost against the breadth of functions they need.
Factorial’s ecosystem is a significant part of its fit. Integrations include a3innuva Nómina, DATEV LODAS, Sage 200, Sage 50 Payroll, Silae, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Microsoft Business Central, Gmail, LinkedIn, Zapier, Monday, TravelPerk, Payflow, ZKTeco, and Primavera. Web, mobile, and API access support different working patterns, while AI features are also included. Choose Factorial if you want broad HR administration with time, performance, documents, analytics, and connected payroll workflows. Teams needing only a narrow specialist tool, or payroll handled entirely inside the HR product, should consider a more focused alternative.
