PayFit vs Nmbrs
These two payroll products differ in how you find out what they cost and who they expect to run payroll. Nmbrs publishes monthly euro prices per paid employee for Essential, Advanced and Advanced Pro, and is part of the Visma group. PayFit shows no plan names and no figures, only a size split at 25 employees and a request for contact. Category data lists PayFit for France, Spain and the UK, and Nmbrs for the Netherlands and Sweden. Neither one suits a company that hires across many countries, so the choice follows where your staff live.
Vendors can pay for more visibility on this website, for example a higher place in a ranking or more room on a page. Commercial relationships can also affect which products we feature and how prominently. Every vendor link is marked the same, whatever the arrangement behind it. How that works.
you run a company in France, Spain or the UK and want a vendor that bills per employee without publishing a rate card. You are comfortable asking sales for a quote before you can compare anything.
you are a Dutch or Swedish employer who wants to read the monthly price for your headcount before talking to anyone. You also want a free trial link and a long list of connected tools.

Where they differ
PayFit 1 · Nmbrs 2 · open 3- 01
What a ten-person payroll costs on the page
Nmbrs gives an exact table in euros per active employee paid that month. Essential costs EUR 71 for 10 employees, EUR 134 for 25 and EUR 435 for 100, while Advanced costs EUR 102 for 10 employees. PayFit's pricing page shows no plan names and no prices at all. It says cost depends on business size and support level, billed per employee per month, and sales must be contacted for figures. For anyone budgeting before a call, Nmbrs is far easier to read.

Countries each product covers
Our category data lists PayFit as supporting three countries, France, Spain and the UK, and says unusual collective agreements need manual handling. It lists Nmbrs for the Netherlands and Sweden only. Both are narrow by design, so neither helps a company that needs payroll in many jurisdictions. Neither vendor's pages show a country list, so check your own country with each before going further. On coverage alone this round is a draw, because both are regional.

First month and trial terms
PayFit lists no free plan, but its pricing page offers the first month free for new clients who subscribe by 30 November 2026. Nmbrs links a free trial from its homepage and payroll page, though neither its length nor its terms appear on the pages read. It also offers demo requests. PayFit's offer has a date and a length, so it is the more concrete of the two. Whether a month of real payroll counts as a trial is your call.

Owner and where the company sits
Nmbrs describes itself on the homepage as belonging to the Visma group, and that WeFact, Yuki, Nmbrs and Visionplanner were combined under the Nmbrs name. The pages we read give no head office address or country for it. PayFit's legal notice lists a London address and names no parent company or owner, while category data lists France. Nmbrs is clearer about who stands behind it, and PayFit is clearer about where its footer address sits.

Modules and connected tools
PayFit names payroll, leave and absences, people management, expense management, performance management and Payfit AI. It cites more than 50 partners, among them Xero, QuickBooks, BambooHR, HiBob, Slack, Spendesk, Leapsome and Kota. Nmbrs names salary administration, HR automation, an employee app and a combined salary and HR product, plus invoicing, bookkeeping and reporting products. It states 350+ integrations are available. PayFit shows more named modules around HR, while Nmbrs shows a much larger integration count.
Depends on the buyer
- 06
Hosting and security detail
Neither site names a hosting location or a hosting model in the text we read. PayFit's homepage points to a Trust Center and a Security page for details, and we did not read those. Nmbrs states nothing about cloud, self-hosted or on-premise operation, and the pages mention no open-source licence. Anyone with data residency requirements must ask both vendors directly and get the answer in writing, because these pages leave it open. This round gives neither product an edge.
Depends on the buyer
When neither fits
If you need payroll across many jurisdictions, neither PayFit nor Nmbrs fits, since both are limited to a few countries. Remote and Deel are the natural places to start that search.
