Factorial vs. Breathe HR
Breathe HR is built for small UK teams that never leave the UK. Factorial gives you that same simplicity, plus payroll, recruitment, and multi-country support built in. Not bolted on.
- Factorial supports 12 languages, 180 currencies, and multiple legal entities - making it perfect for your global team.
- Factorial prepares and integrates payroll, while Breathe HR offers no payroll functionality at all.
- Breathe's recruitment tools live behind a paid add-on, with more limited functionality. Factorial's ATS is part of the core platform. Post the job, screen the candidate, move them straight into onboarding

“Factorial has dramatically reduced the overwhelming volume of administrative tasks our HR department faces daily and acts as a single source of truth enabling our HR department to operate efficiently.”


“It is our first point of call in terms of recruitment. There are different documents that different positions require, and I can review them when I need to.”


“Factorial made my life so much easier when it comes to absences. It used to be a manual process with three validation points, but with Factorial the employee just sends a request, and their manager automatically receives an email and can approve it.”
