Hiring in new markets with local HR support
Starting fee: $499 USD / monthDeposit: 1 monthOnboarding: 5–8 days
My take
I’d consider RemotePeople if a dedicated account manager is part of the support you want.
The service includes local employment contracts, payroll and tax administration, and statutory-benefits administration. I’d price recruitment separately, as it is a separate service.
EOR Global starts at USD 499 per employee per month. EOR Select starts at USD 199 for eligible countries and employee salary ranges. Salary, employer contributions, benefit costs and agreed extras are additional. The country quote determines eligibility, the final fee, billing commitment and payroll funding.
When this provider fits
Confirm RemotePeople Select eligibility before using its lower fee. If contractors sit alongside employees, compare the contractor terms separately and identify who handles the local employment escalations.

- Contractor of Record for Pakistani freelancers with RemotePeople signing the contractor agreement
- EOBI and provincial social security filed through the statutory administration in its service

Paying employees and contractors on one platform
Starting fee: $599 USD / monthDeposit: 1–1.5 monthsOnboarding: 5–10 days
My take
Deel makes my shortlist when you want EOR payroll and benefits administration alongside separate contractor and HR products.
EOR starts at USD 599 per employee per month, with month-to-month billing available. I’d budget beyond that fee: mandatory Employer Liability Cost is an additional charge based on gross salary, with rates varying by country. Salary, statutory employer costs and benefit premiums are also separate.
Contractor management starts at USD 49 per active contract per month. It is a separate service from EOR employment; currency conversion, payment-method charges and any required deposit also affect the amount funded.

Deel pros in Pakistan3
- Compliance tooling with multi-country consistency worth it when Pakistan is one of several markets
- Pakistani contractors on the same platform via a separate contractor plan beside employees
- Duration alerts on long contractor engagements flag when Pakistani work starts to look like employment
Deel cons in Pakistan4
- Get the Pakistani employing entity in writing before signing the EOR order
- Give Deel the province first since Pakistani hours, leave and contributions vary by it
- One plain Pakistani hire rarely uses the platform so lower-fee rivals may suffice
- Deel has no in-house recruiters, so Pakistani roles use Find talent, from $14/worker/month, or talent partners

Rippling
4.5/5
Rating
Setting up payroll, laptops and app access for new hires
Starting fee: $499 USD / monthDeposit: Per quoteOnboarding: 6–10 days
My take
I’d consider Rippling when shared employee data across HR, IT and finance would help your workflows and reporting.
It connects EOR employment with those products, but device management and app access are separate products within the wider system.
Rippling EOR starts at USD 499 per employee per month, and the required Rippling Platform adds from USD 8 per employee per month plus a monthly base fee. The quote needs to show any selected HR, IT or finance products and the billing commitment. Salary, employer costs, benefits, deposits and payroll funding are additional to the software and service fees.
When this provider fits
Rippling is most relevant when the Pakistani hire joins an existing HR and IT workflow; Papaya is worth comparing when finance needs Pakistan in a consolidated payroll report. For a standalone hire, price the required platform and reporting scope against the local administration needed.

Pebl
4.2/5
Rating
Hiring people who need visa or relocation support
Starting fee: $399 USD / monthDeposit: Per quoteOnboarding: 7–12 days
My take
I’d look at Pebl, formerly Velocity Global, when you want hiring, payroll, employee changes, reporting and offboarding in one platform.
EOR starts at $399 per employee per month. Before using that figure in a budget, I’d have the country quote identify the dollar currency and billing commitment. Salary, employer costs, benefits and additional services are separate.
A deposit is required before onboarding. Its amount can change with salary, seniority or payment history, and it is returned after the final invoice and outstanding balances are paid. Early exit can make the remaining committed-term service fees payable, subject to the agreement’s termination exceptions. Any discounted offer needs an end date and renewal price.
When this provider fits
Pebl’s fit depends on the managed support included in the Pakistan proposal: named responsibilities, payroll follow-up and exit administration.

Managing payroll, leave and expenses in one place
Starting fee: $459 USD / monthDeposit: 1+ monthsOnboarding: 6–10 days
My take
I’d start with Multiplier Core if you need employment administration, payroll, leave and standard workforce reporting.
Core starts at $499 per employee per month on monthly billing or $459 per month billed annually. For integrations, custom reports and open APIs, I’d compare the Growth plan. The quote needs to identify the dollar currency and chosen plan.
Country variations and mandatory add-ons affect the total. Implementation fees may apply, although the FAQ says setup is free; the quote must resolve that charge. Salary, employer costs and benefit premiums are additional.

Using one onboarding process for hires across countries
Starting fee: $699 USD / monthDeposit: ~1 monthOnboarding: 10–15 days
My take
I’d look at Oyster for payroll, expense and time-off administration, reporting, and onboarding and offboarding support.
Benefits packages are optional add-ons. At USD 699 per employee per month on monthly billing, I’d compare the included support carefully against the other quotes.
Annual seats are priced by headcount and location and are non-refundable, but can be reused for replacement hires. Annual prepayment gives the lowest fee; higher-priced quarterly or semiannual payment options are available. Salary, employer costs and benefit premiums are additional, and a refundable deposit is required. Optional People Partner project work costs USD 300 per hour.

G-P would be on my shortlist when benefits, reporting and custom API integrations matter alongside EOR employment administration.
EOR starts at USD 599 per employee per month, with volume discounts by quote. I’d keep salary, employer costs, benefit premiums and additional services separate in the budget.
There is no minimum contract length for EOR hires. The proposal still sets the commercial billing and cancellation terms, along with the cost of any integration or implementation work.

I’d compare Borderless AI using both its current offer and the fee after it ends.
The standard EOR fee is USD 579 per employee per month. Eligible companies headquartered outside Canada may qualify for USD 399 on fees billed through 31 December 2026. USD 579 applies from 1 January 2027, including promotional customers; country and employment-type exceptions apply. Salary, employer costs and benefits are additional.
A refundable deposit is required before the employee starts. The schedule is 1.5 months of gross salary plus employer costs, benefits and platform fees with ACH or three months by wire and other methods, with country variations. The base includes salary, employer contributions, benefits and platform fees. Late-payment issues can raise it to six months. Deposits are released after the relevant obligations are settled.

Rating
Making a first overseas hire on a tight budget
Starting fee: $199 USD / monthDeposit: About 1 monthOnboarding: 5–9 days
My take
We moved RemoFirst to last place on 8 November 2026: Trustpilot has suspended its rating for a breach of its guidelines and removed fake reviews.
RemoFirst says it works exclusively with vetted in-country partners. Here, that means a local partner company, not RemoFirst, would normally employ your hire, and payroll changes, questions and exits pass through both companies, which can slow answers. US$199 is RemoFirst’s starting fee and varies by country, so get this country’s quote before you compare. RemoFirst’s lack of a minimum contract term or headcount makes it worth considering for a small team. I’d compare its dedicated customer success manager and EOR employment service from USD 199 per employee per month against the support you need. The fee can vary with country requirements. Salary, employer costs, benefits, deposits and optional services are separate.
Contractor management is free for onboarding, identity checks, contract storage and expenses. Contractor payments cost USD 25 per contractor in months when a payment is processed; payment-provider and transfer fees may also apply. These contractor services are separate from EOR employment.
