THE ZIZZY DIFFERENCE
Considering an alternative to Factorial?
Compare the selected tools
Make time, talent, finance and IT requirements explicit in the proposal.
Give AI a specific job
Test a report or policy question and confirm the access, enablement and usage conditions.
Check the payroll boundary
Clarify whether your requirement is payroll preparation, payslip distribution or running payroll, and test the required handoff.
Use a real reporting question
Compare the answer, source information and permissions for your managers and HR administrators.
What will the change cost?
Zizzy’s current offer is £6 per user, per month, with all product areas included and a rolling 30-day subscription. Confirm changing headcount, retained records, onboarding scope and the agreed service terms before committing. Add migration, training and any overlapping incumbent charges to your comparison; Zizzy is not always the cheaper option.
Confirm any specialist payroll, employment advice, international employment or IT service separately. A product demonstration does not establish every integration or workflow.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE
A few fair questions.
Is Zizzy an alternative to Factorial?
Factorial connects HR with time, talent, finance and IT processes. Its plans combine a core toolkit with selected products, so compare the scope of your proposed package rather than a starting price alone. The best fit depends on your team's processes, required integrations and rollout needs.
How does Zizzy pricing compare with Factorial?
Zizzy is £6 per user, per month, with all product areas included. Factorial: Core plus selected products; tailored quote. Compare equivalent features, services and contract terms before deciding; this is not a claim that Zizzy is always cheaper.
When should I choose Factorial instead?
Factorial is relevant when a team wants several business processes on one platform. Ask how the chosen modules and One AI access are packaged, and which existing systems will remain.
