The short answer

Factorial : All-in-one HR software with an ATS built in, for small businesses that also hire through their HR system. From $8/user/mo

Why people look past Employee Passport

It is built for UK employment law and UK SMEs, priced in pounds and sold by demo; standalone software above 10 employees and support for 51+ staff are quoted. There are no published integrations, API, payroll or recruiting features, and no outside reviews to check yet. It is a small company based in Chester.

What we noted

UK focused, prices in GBP excluding VAT
No published integrations or API
Software price above 10 employees not published

Not the right fit for

Employers outside the UK and Ireland
Teams that need an ATS, recruiting or payroll in the same system
Companies that need a documented API or ready-made integrations

Worth keeping in mind: Few HR tools sell the software and the advisers as one package: CIPD Level 5 HR consultants and NEBOSH-qualified safety consultants work from the same hub your records live in, build a year-ahead action plan from an audit and help complete the tasks. Software setup runs over four separate days for admins, managers, employees and a final review.

What each one does differently

Connecteam

$29/mo Free tier 14 day free trial API

Why it comes up: Built for deskless and shift-based teams, stronger on scheduling, time clock and mobile use than on advisory support.

Stands out: A true free plan for teams of 10 or fewer, then hub-priced paid plans so you can buy operations without paying for HR or comms you will not use.

Watch out: The $29 Operations hub covers the first 30 users; extra users are per head, and Communications and HR are separate hubs. 14-day trial, no card.

Best for

Deskless and field teams
Small businesses under 10 people (free)
Companies that want time clock plus chat in one app
