HRIS on Parole de RH

What is the best HR software in France?

Wed, 07 Oct 2026 14:00:00 +0200

In short:

There is no universal best HR software. This comparison ranks Lucca, Kelio, Eurécia, Factorial and PayFit on verifiable criteria, taken from the vendors’ websites on 7 October 2026.

Lucca comes first on these criteria: a public price for each module, a subscription with no minimum commitment and more than 300 integrations announced.

Published entry prices range from 3.05 euros excluding tax per employee per month (Kelio, 50 employees) to 6.90 euros per user per month (Factorial). They do not cover the same scope.

The right choice depends on the main need: payroll, time management, talent or personnel administration.

HR software and personal data: the CNIL's rules

Sun, 04 Oct 2026 11:30:00 +0200

In short:

HR software must only contain the personal data needed for personnel management.

Access is reserved for the people in charge of personnel management, with managers only accessing the data useful for their duties.

Employees must be informed of the processing and can access their file without justification.

The personnel management file must appear in the record of processing activities.

HR software: regulated data processing

Any HR software, whether a full HRIS, payroll software or a leave management tool, processes personal data. On 17 August 2023, the CNIL (the French data protection authority) published a reference page on the rules that apply to personnel management.
