Also here: what’s new, the release notes week by week, and the whole feature list.
Three features, a page and a manual each.
Tasks
Delegation and recurring checklists, with an owner and a date on every one of them. The question it answers is the one a WhatsApp group cannot: what is pending right now, and with whom.
CRM
Leads through to a closed order, with the conversation kept beside the record. Built for a team that sells, not for a team that reports on selling.
HR & Payroll
Attendance, leave, expenses and salary as one chain rather than four spreadsheets that have to agree with each other at the end of the month.
Calculators and templates, on the real engine.
Seven payroll calculators — salary, tax regime, PF and ESI, a salary slip, overtime, gratuity and the full and final settlement — the 2027 holiday list by state, the year’s PF, ESI and TDS due dates, and 8 templates. No sign-up.
The question first, then the figures.

Next to what you use now, row by row.
Checked against the product, with the places the other side is the better buy.
Facto Lite vs Excel and WhatsApp
The real alternative for most teams. Where a sheet and a group chat are enough, and the month they stop being enough.
Facto Lite vs greytHR
An established Indian payroll and HR suite. Where its depth wins, and where a smaller team pays for more than it uses.
Facto Lite vs Keka
A full HR platform with performance, hiring and payroll. Built for growing companies; more than many small teams need.
Facto Lite vs Zoho People and Zoho Payroll
HR and payroll as two Zoho products that connect. A natural pick inside Zoho; two bills and two setups outside it.
Facto Lite vs RazorpayX Payroll
Payroll that pays salaries and files the challans for you. Strong on money movement; HR and daily work live elsewhere.
Facto Lite vs Kredily
A free HR and payroll plan for Indian businesses. Hard to beat on price; the question is what else you need.
Facto Lite vs Zoho One
Fifty-plus apps under one licence, or three modules you will open every day. Where each one makes sense.
Facto Lite vs Zoho CRM
A CRM priced per user in editions, against one CRM module priced by team size. Leads, follow-ups and quotes, row by row.
Facto Lite vs Pipedrive
A pipeline-first CRM billed per seat, against a CRM module priced by team size with quotations built in.
Facto Lite vs Trello
Boards and cards for seeing work, against tasks with an owner, a reviewer and checklists that raise themselves.
Facto Lite vs Asana
Work management for projects and teams, against everyday tasks and checklists with CRM and payroll alongside.
Read everything first. Then take sixty days.
All three features, no card, and nothing on this site behind a form.
