factoHR vs HollyHR

factoHR is a web-based HR platform for managing employee records, time off, onboarding, performance, and time tracking. It also provides mobile apps, attendance options such as face recognition, selfie punch, geofencing, and location-tagged punches, and administration for multiple entities and role-specific permissions. Integrations connect HR with payroll, finance, hiring, learning, background checks, and SSO systems. Customers can access and export their information on any plan. The free plan supports up to 20 employees and requires no credit card. Listed annual-billing plans for up to 50 employees are Core at ₹125 a month, Premium at ₹175 a month, and Ultimate at ₹225 a month; the pricing note lists paid plans from ₹4,499/mo (annual). Subscriptions may be paid quarterly or yearly. There is no cancellation fee or lock-in period, but remaining annual-plan credit is not refunded after discontinuation. Support hours are Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM. factoHR is headquartered in Rajkot, Gujarat, India, and was founded in 2016.

HollyHR is core HR software for small UK teams, bringing people records, working patterns, leave, documents, starter processes and reports together. Teams can manage leave requests and approvals, balances, sickness records and UK public holidays, with a shared Who’s Away calendar. Reusable onboarding packs create individual journeys with due dates and owners; private files, right-to-work evidence and policy acknowledgements stay with employee records. Built-in headcount, turnover and time-off reports export as CSV or PDF. Organisation export includes CSV data, available uploaded files and a manifest. HollyHR connects with services including Zapier, Make, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Claude, Google Calendar, Outlook and Xero Payroll UK, with differing capabilities and availability. Approved leave can be sent to Xero after employees and leave types are matched, but salary, tax, bank, pay-run and employee-creation data do not sync. API reads and signed webhooks are available on every plan; creating records through the API or integrations requires Standard and System Admin permission. A free plan covers up to 10 active employees; Standard starts at £2/user/mo. The service runs on web and through an API.
