As companies grow, the necessity for dependable, smart platforms to handle people, processes, and projects is essential. Two solid solutions are One24 and factoHR, they provide a vast array of features that are meant to make workforce and operational management easier. But while they may seem similar on the surface, their core strengths serve slightly different business needs.
In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at how One24 and factoHR compare and which one might be the better fit for your organization’s growth journey.
Core Focus: HRMS vs. Operations Suite
factoHR is a cloud-based Human Resource Management System (HRMS) that is feature-rich and designed for HR process automation. It focuses on payroll, compliance, attendance, employee engagement, and performance management. Designed mobile-first and used by a significant number of customers, it’s popular for making HR processes agile across industries.
One24, however, is more than an HR platform. It’s an end-to-end AI-based suite of business operations designed specifically for IT and service organizations. Beyond HR functionality, One24 combines project management, CRM, finance, compliance, and real-time analytics, providing a 360° picture of your organization’s inner processes.

factoHR stands out in terms of automation of HR and Indian statutory compliance, which makes it a fit for companies wanting to automate employee-related tasks.

Industry Fit & Use Cases
factoHR caters to various industries like manufacturing, retail, BFSI, and healthcare, among others. It’s suited for companies seeking a sophisticated HRMS with compliance capabilities, specifically in Indian markets.
One24 is built with IT companies and project-based businesses in mind. Whether it’s managing sprints, tracking billable hours, aligning team capacity with project timelines, or generating performance-based reports, One24 supports the kind of operational agility tech teams need to thrive.
Usability & Accessibility
Both platforms are accessible via the web. factoHR has a mature, mobile-first design that makes employees self-service intuitive, Employees can clock in, apply for leave, and access pay slips right from the app.
Depending on your role of HR manager, project lead, or CXO, One24 provides a role-based dashboard experience that shows pertinent KPIs, reminders, and metrics. Cross-functional teams remain aligned, and daily decision-making is improved by this contextual perspective.
Integrations & Ecosystem
factoHR integrates with payroll, accounting, and biometric systems, ensuring that businesses can plug into existing finance and compliance tools.
One24 takes a different approach by building the ecosystem in-house. From CRM to invoice generation and project planning, it reduces the dependency on third-party tools and keeps data centralized. This native integration is a plus for fast-growing companies that want fewer platforms, tighter workflows, and better control over their operations.
Business Intelligence & Reporting
factoHR offers solid HR analytics, including reports on attendance, payroll, and employee engagement. However, its insights are mostly confined to HR-specific data.
One24 provides AI-powered analytics across all modules like HR, sales, project tracking, finance, and more. It gives business leaders a unified view of operational performance, resource utilization, project health, and client delivery in one place. This depth of visibility transforms One24 from a system of record into a system of strategy.
The Verdict
If automating HR processes, compliance with legislations, and providing a self-service experience to employees is your primary need, factoHR is a reliable and appropriate option.
But if you are in an IT firm or project-based organization and need an integrated platform with HR, projects, compliance, analytics, and business development, One24 offers a more integrated solution. In a time when departmental isolation can hold you back, One24 helps integrate your operations, so your teams can do what they do best: drive results.
