Bayzat vs Factorial (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Bayzat if

• Fits if you're a UAE company that wants payroll, HR and insurance in one place
• Works for firms that need WPS payroll files

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you're outside the Gulf, as the payroll and compliance are local
• Not for you if you want a price up front, as quotes only
• Tight if you want only Core HR and Payroll, because other modules are extra
• Watch out: no free plan or trial is listed

Pick Factorial if

• Fits if your staff work shifts and clock in by QR code or location
• Works for firms that want HR, expenses and company devices in one place

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a full price on the page, as only $8 and up is published
• Not for you if you want to try it first, as no trial is on record
• Pricey if you add lots of modules, since each one is quoted on top
• Watch out: monthly plans bill for everyone on staff at the start of each month
• Watch out: the site gives both 12 and 120 customer countries and doesn't list where payroll works

Bayzat

• No prices are published: the site says pricing depends on company size and modules, and points to a free consultation for a quote.
• Built for the UAE and GCC; its payroll and compliance claims are specific to local labor law.
• Modules such as benefits, talent and finance are priced separately from the Core HR and Payroll bundle, according to the vendor's FAQ.
• The mobile apps linked from the site are listed as Bayzat Benefits, so it is unclear how much of the HR suite they cover.

Factorial

• Only the $8 starting figure is published; the real price comes in a quote that depends on the modules and the headcount.
• Monthly plans bill for the employees present at the start of each month; annual plans bill extra only in months above the agreed count.
• Offices are in Spain, Germany and Mexico; the about page says both 12 and 120 countries for its customers and does not list where payroll works.
• The free-trial links on its pages lead to a missing page, so a trial could not be confirmed.
