The short version

  • Only Factorial has a free tier, so it costs nothing to try first.
  • Each has a real cost: Factorial beyond a $8 per user per month starting price the pricing page publishes no plan tiers and no rate card, directing buyers to request a tailored quote; greytHR published starting price of INR 2,495/month covers only up to 50 employees, so larger companies must move to a higher, unpublished tier

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Factorial

  • Beyond a $8 per user per month starting price the pricing page publishes no plan tiers and no rate card, directing buyers to request a tailored quote
  • Time management, talent management, finance and IT management are sold as separate modules rather than included in the base product

greytHR

  • Published starting price of INR 2,495/month covers only up to 50 employees, so larger companies must move to a higher, unpublished tier
  • The platform serves 34,000+ companies and its entry tier is scoped by headcount rather than by feature set, meaning growth past 50 employees forces a plan change
