The best alternatives to PayFit
PayFit 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 PayFit alternative
PayFit connects Spanish payroll, Social Security, tax filings, leave and time tracking. Standard starts at €65 monthly for one person and combines a fixed fee with per-employee pricing. Advanced adds HR and API, while Premium adds performance. Transparency is good, though the fixed fee weighs on small teams.
What its own users repeat in the August 6, 2026 sweep:
- The fixed fee makes per-person cost high for very small teams (strong theme)
- Advanced recruiting and international employment sit outside its main focus (present theme)

What the internet says about each alternative
Personio 3.9/5 · Price on request
Personio still brings together the people record, time, documents, performance and recruiting for European companies, with the AI assistant applying user permissions and classified as 'limited risk' under the EU AI Act. In April 2026 it reached profitability and bought the AI recruiting startup aurio, after a second $200 million round in March. The price still is not published, and G2 reviews add a new wrinkle: a one-time setup fee not discussed until contract negotiation, and 10-20% renewal increases also not communicated at signing.
Where it wins: The AI assistant applies user permissions, data is hosted in the European Union, and the tool itself is classified as 'limited risk' under the EU AI Act Where it slips: It publishes no rate and cost depends on headcount, plan, apps and an initial implementation
Factorial 3.5/5 · Free + from €5.5
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.
Where it wins: The integrations marketplace passes 90 options, and the single-platform approach cuts the need to wire separate tools together Where it slips: 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
Sesame HR 3.5/5 · Free trial · from $3.75
Sesame HR still offers four public plans from time tracking through recruiting, performance, API and SSO, with a 14-day trial. This sweep confirms a nuance not previously in the listing: the international site charges in dollars (from $3.75, as this listing records), but the Spanish site charges in euros (from €4.75), and they are not the same figure converted. A 15-employee minimum also surfaces that was not noted before. 2026 reviews keep flagging time-clock failures and support described as evasive on incidents.
Where it wins: It publishes monthly and annual per-employee rates and allows a 14-day product trial Where it slips: The entry price differs by site: $3.75 a month on the international one (sesamehr.com) and €4.75 on the Spanish one (sesamehr.es), and it is not a simple conversion of the same figure
