Comparison for people looking at HR suites

One account for the SME and for the firm

Factorial is a company HR suite. Vacly is SME + firm in the same account.

You arrived from Google because you are comparing HR suites. Factorial surfaces as company software: the employing organisation and its people catalogue. We do not price it, list its modules or publish its tariff. Check their site. This page does not say Vacly “wins” that comparison. It says a company suite does not solve, with the same login, the SME that clocks in and closes payroll and the firm that walks a book. Vacly is one account with two modes. You enter as a company and see headcount, working time and the labour month. You enter as a firm and each client is a company; the portal does not show the neighbour. Not a pack, not a CRM. We do not claim talent parity. We promise Time, Laboral and the book, published prices and a 15-day trial. Vacly Solutions SL, CIF B22657407, Tortosa.

A company suite versus the same account in two modes

The sale is not “we are better at everything”. It is “they think the company; we admit the company and the firm in the same login”. That is why the contrast is design, not a logo war. We do not invent Factorial’s catalogue or prices. If you want the scope of a company HR suite, their site. If you want an account with two modes, keep reading.

Factorial, a company HR suite

Factorial is an HR suite for the employing company. People, working time and the rest of their catalogue live in that frame: the company. We do not list modules, copy a tariff or claim seals. Check their site. If your map is a company suite and you do not need firm mode, that conversation is theirs.

Company software: the employing organisation is the centre.
Plans, modules and price: theirs. We do not invent them. Check their site.
We do not claim their payroll, clock-in or talent scope. Nor their seals.

Vacly, SME and firm in the same account

Vacly steps in where the suite comparison falls short: a login with two modes. The SME sees headcount, clocks in and closes the month. The firm walks the book; the client sees only their company. Digitizing exists with AI and human review; it feeds pre-accounting and VAT, does not send to the AEAT and does not post books on its own. You export a file. 15-day trial.

Time: web, app, WhatsApp. From €8.89 per employee/month VAT incl.
Laboral: PDF, portal, month. From €2.50. SILTRA is not for sale.
Two modes: employing company and advisory book.

Who we wrote this comparison for

We write for someone comparing HR suites who still does not know whether the problem is company people ops or the same tool serving Friday at the SME and Monday at the firm. Factorial covers the first map. If that is yours — people cycles, their catalogue, software for the employing company — their site, not ours. The second map is ours: an account that admits the employing company and the advisory book. The conversation starts when the SME does not want a second product the day the advisor arrives, or when the firm does not want a login per client. Also when you ask “can the client see the neighbour?” and the suite goes quiet. We are not writing a Factorial clone. Vacly does not claim parity or their prices.

The growing SME that still clocks in on a sheet

You need to clock in and Friday still needs a payslip. You look at suites because “that is what companies do”. The fatigue is the spreadsheet, the loose PDF and a second product the day the firm arrives. You want Time and Laboral in an account that can also admit the advisor tomorrow.

The firm that does not want a login per client

You run several companies, each with clock-in, payroll and a month to close. A company suite asks you to treat every client as “the company”. You need firm mode: one login, a portal that does not mix, and no more PDFs by email. You are not asking Factorial to become a desk. You are asking Vacly for both modes from day one.

Who this page is not for

If you want Factorial’s talent and people suite, this is not a parity comparison. Check their site. If you want SILTRA, a live connector or AI that posts books on its own, this is not it either. SILTRA is not for sale. We sell clock-in, laboral, the book and digitizing with human review.

What you miss when the suite is company-only

The gap is not “Factorial has no people tools”: it is a people suite for the company. The gap is that the same account does not serve you the day you stop being only the company and also become the firm, or the day SME and advisor must see each other without mixing books. We do not invent Factorial’s scope. We promise what Vacly does have, published, and the two modes. On day one you miss clock-in without a sheet, a labour month that is not a cut-up PDF, and a client who cannot see the neighbour. The rest of a talent suite we do not claim.

Clock-in that feeds Friday

Time: web, app or WhatsApp. A clock-in/out record, a geofence if you require it, reports you export. WhatsApp is the interface; the chat is not the record. Hours close the month and talk to Laboral. From €8.89 per employee/month VAT incl. It leaves a record you can look up.

The payroll month, not the loose PDF

Laboral: PDF with AI, employee portal and generating the month. The employee sees theirs. If there is a firm, the desk walks the book without a thread per company. From €2.50 per employee/month VAT incl. SILTRA is not for sale. Labour judgement stays yours.

Two modes, one login: the book

Company mode: your headcount. Firm mode: each client is a company with modules, certificates and payslips. The client portal does not show the book. It is not the Invoicing directory or a “accounts” CRM. Administration comes with Laboral · advisory firms.

How an account with two modes is lived

01
You open the account and say who you are
Company or firm. It is not a theatrical wizard: it is the mode you enter with. The SME sees its headcount. The firm sees the book. Same product, two readings. Nobody asks you to “roll out an HR suite” to start clocking in on Monday.
02
The team clocks in on Vacly
Web, app or WhatsApp. You close the hours month without rebuilding a sheet. You export for inspection or for the labour advisor. It leaves a record you can look up. If tomorrow the firm enters the account, those hours do not live in another login.
03
Laboral closes Friday
PDF, portal and generation. The employee signs reception. If there is a firm, you walk the book without a loose PDF per client. Labour judgement stays yours. It is not a substitute for a suite payroll programme.
04
The portal does not mix A with B
The client — or the SME employee — sees only theirs. You, in firm mode, walk companies, certificates and the inbox if Administration is ON. That is the two-mode design, not a “multi-company” extra glued onto a sales card.
05
You export a file, not a connector
CSV, Sage or Excel per period. There is no live connector to Factorial, Holded, a3 or Sage. If you digitize, a person reviews the batch. Vacly does not post books on its own and does not send to the AEAT. The limit is the promise: we do not sell a bridge that does not exist.

A solid table: Vacly catalogue versus a company suite

Nine real rows from Vacly’s catalogue. The Factorial column is a cautious reference: not an audit, no their prices, no invented modules. If a topic is theirs, we say “check their site”.

Topic	Vacly (published catalogue)	Factorial (reference, not an audit)
Who it is built for	Employing SME and firm in the same account. Two modes, one login. We do not claim to be a talent suite.	A company HR suite: the employing organisation is the centre. Check their site. We do not claim their target audience.
One account, two modes	Company mode: your headcount. Firm mode: you walk the book. The client portal sees only their company. It is not the Invoicing directory.	Usual focus on the employing company. We do not claim a multi-company firm mode. Check their site.
Clock-in and working-time record	Web, app and WhatsApp, geofence and exportable reports. Time from €8.89 per employee/month VAT incl. It leaves a record you can look up.	If they offer time tracking, that scope is theirs. We do not invent it. Check their site.
Payroll and employee portal	PDF with AI, portal and generating the month. Laboral from €2.50 per employee/month VAT incl. SILTRA is not for sale.	Payroll, if they offer it, depends on their catalogue. We do not invent modules or tariffs. Check their site.
Advisory book	One login, two modes. Certificates and inbox if Administration is ON (comes with Laboral · advisory firms). RED if authorised.	We do not claim a company suite is an advisory book. Check their site.
Talent / people HR suite	Not the angle of this page. Vacly does not claim parity on onboarding, reviews or suite people analytics.	That is the usual ground of a company HR suite. We do not list their modules. Check their site.
Digitizing and pre-accounting	PDF, JPG, PNG, WEBP and XML/Facturae. AI reads tax ID, bases and VAT; human review. Feeds pre-accounting and VAT. Soles. Does not send to the AEAT. Vacly does not post books on its own.	They may have their own finance tools. We do not compare seals or say they “read worse”. Check their site.
Live connectors	There is no live connector to Factorial, Holded, a3 or Sage. Export is a file per period.	They have their own integration ecosystem. We do not claim a bridge from Vacly. Check their site.
Price and trial	Time €8.89; Laboral €2.50; Tax €12.90/month; Projects €19/month; Invoicing/Specials in Soles; Accounting and Banking on request. 15-day trial.	Their own plans. Check their site. We do not publish their tariff.

What we do not promise against a suite

Honesty is the hook: if you are comparing company HR, we are not selling a clone. We are selling an account with two modes and a published catalogue.

We are not a Factorial clone and we do not claim HR-suite parity.
We do not invent Factorial prices, modules, logos or customers. Check their site.
There is no live connector to Factorial, Holded, a3 or Sage. You export a file.
SILTRA is not for sale.
Vacly does not post books on its own. Pre-accounting needs human review.

By sector

The shop, the floor and the site do not clock in or close the month the same way. Clock-in, the invoice batch and payroll for each trade are on retail, hospitality and construction.

Objections from people comparing suites

Are you an HR suite like Factorial?: No. Factorial is a company HR suite. Vacly is SME and firm in the same account: clock-in, payroll and a book with two modes. We do not claim talent parity or people analytics. If that is your map, check their site. If it is Friday for the headcount and Monday for the firm, stay here.
Can I be a company and a firm in the same account?: Yes. That is the design. One login, two modes. You enter as the employing company and see your headcount. You enter as a firm and walk the book. The client portal sees only their company. It is not a two-product pack or the Invoicing client card.
Can the client or employee see other companies?: No. The portal sees only theirs. You, in firm mode, walk the book. Mixing A with B is the failure this page refuses to sell as “multi-company”.
Do I have to leave Factorial to try Vacly?: That is not the pitch. If Factorial covers you as a company suite, you can stay. This page exists for the two-mode gap, not a rip-and-replace. There is no live connector: we do not promise a bridge. 15-day trial with your team or a small book.
Is there a live connector to Factorial?: No. There is no live connector to Factorial, Holded, a3 or Sage. You export CSV, Sage or Excel per period. That avoids sync promises the product does not sell.
Does it include SILTRA? Does the AI post books on its own?: SILTRA is not for sale. The AI reads tax ID, bases and VAT and proposes; a person reviews the batch. Vacly does not post books on its own and does not send to the AEAT. We work the RED file and the TGSS filings in the catalogue if there is RED authorisation.
How much does it cost and how do I try it?: Time from €8.89 per employee/month VAT incl.; Laboral from €2.50; Tax €12.90/month; Projects €19/month; Invoicing and Specials in Soles; Accounting and Banking on request. 15-day trial. Vacly Solutions SL, CIF B22657407, Tortosa.
Why don’t you publish Factorial’s price?: Because it is not our catalogue. Inventing an HR suite’s tariff is the shortcut this page refuses. You check their site; here you check ours.
