The best alternatives to Factorial
Factorial might not be the right fit: the price, a missing feature or a payment model you don't like. These are the closest alternatives in our catalog, ordered by rating, with the full review of each one.
Why look for a Factorial alternative
The headline price does not move: it stays at 5.5 euros per person per month before tax, confirmed again this week on the official pricing page with two independent reads. The company still keeps the tab title with the old 5 euro figure while the visible heading already says 5.5, so search results keep showing a price the page no longer backs. Capterra adds a detail to the usual complaint about contract terms: several users describe features that used to come included and now get billed separately. The Factorial One agent still has no traceable independent opinion.
What its own users repeat in the August 10, 2026 sweep:
- The published entry price is only an anchor: the page itself holds a contract floor it resolves client-side and never prints, and the only buy button asks for a custom quote (strong theme)
- Complaints appear about changes to agreed terms, with features that used to come included now billed as a separate module, plus friction when cancelling (strong theme)
- Its own pricing page still contradicts itself: the tab title advertises 5 euros while the visible heading says 5.5, so search results show a figure the page no longer backs (present theme)
- The AI agent the company leads with still has not one traceable independent user opinion, either for or against (present theme)

What the internet says about each alternative
Workable 3.7/5 · Free trial · from $299
The entry price holds at $299 a month on annual billing, confirmed again on the official pricing page, and still climbs with the company's total headcount. This sweep adds Workable's MCP server, a documented integration that lets AI agents work with candidates, employees and HR workflows, though the vendor's own documentation and press release disagree on how many tools it exposes, so no figure is quoted here. Reporting and entry-tier support remain the weak spot, as this week's G2 and Capterra reviews still show.
Where it wins: Short learning curve: a new recruiter posts jobs and moves candidates on day one Where it slips: The rate scales with the company's employee count rather than with recruiters, across nine bands, so hiring one more person can change the invoice
Kenjo 3/5 · Price on request
The pricing calculator still prints no figure. Fetching the raw HTML again today, the only three appearances of the euro sign on the rates page are still 0.0 euros, and the plan they promote hardest still forces a sales call. What this sweep adds is confirmation that three external sites publish Kenjo prices that do not match each other or the official site, ranging from 2.26 to 7 euros per employee depending on which one you read, so none of them can be treated as reliable. Everything else holds: the mobile app remains the dominant complaint in the stores, and the only payroll integration documented officially is still German.
Where it wins: The AI assistant that builds shift rotas from a plain-language instruction is still what sets Kenjo apart in its niche of staff without a fixed desk Where it slips: The official rates page is still a calculator that prints no figure. Checking the raw HTML again today, the only euro amount on the whole page is still 0.0 euros and there is still no structured data with a price
