The best alternatives to Sesame HR
Sesame HR 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 Sesame HR alternative
Sesame HR offers four public plans starting with time tracking, shifts and leave, then adding recruiting, culture, performance, API and SSO. Annual pricing starts at $3.75 per employee monthly and the trial lasts 14 days. Coverage is broad, though recent reviews show very uneven time-clock and support experiences.
What its own users repeat in the July 30, 2026 sweep:
- The table shows different annual and monthly rates and requires checking the applicable minimum (present theme)
- Recent reviews describe time-clock failures and slow or ineffective support responses (strong theme)

What the internet says about each alternative
PayFit 4.2/5 · Free trial · from €65
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.
Where it wins: It publishes the split between fixed fee, per-employee price, extra locations and modules Where it slips: The fixed fee makes per-person cost high for very small teams
Factorial 3.7/5 · Free + from €5.5
Independent reviews rate functional coverage and interface well, with a 4.4 average over 315 Capterra reviews. The most repeated complaint is customer support, described as slow or hard to reach for incidents.
Where it wins: The integrations marketplace tops 90 options (Slack, Google Workspace, Okta, Jira, Zapier) and there is a documented public API Where it slips: The published entry price (€5.5 a month per person) is only an anchor: the real cost depends on how many modules are activated and requires a custom quote
Kenjo 3.1/5 · Price on request
Independent reviews describe the interface as simple and intuitive, with an aggregate rating of 4.2-4.4 out of 5. Complaints concentrate on advanced customization, limited to higher plans, and one reported disappointing case of customer support.
Where it wins: The AI assistant that builds shifts from a natural-language command processes data only within the EU and does not use it to train models Where it slips: The official pricing page is an interactive calculator that shows no static figure without entering headcount
