Managing payroll, leave and expenses in one place
Starting fee: $459 USD / monthDeposit: 1+ monthsOnboarding: 3–5 days
My take
I’d start with Multiplier Core’s scope: 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. Growth adds integrations, custom reports and open APIs. 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.
When this provider fits
I’d keep Multiplier on the shortlist if its country proposal matches your Thai payroll and support needs; compare its annual commitment with its monthly plan. Deel becomes more relevant when its wider payroll and contractor products are useful to your team.

Multiplier pros in Thailand3
- Thai payroll, leave and standard reports all sit within the Core plan
- Runs Thailand on its own entity, like Deel and G-P
- Health cover in Silver or Gold plans can be added by quote
Multiplier cons in Thailand4
- Quick Thai onboarding excludes a Non-B visa, which runs on the Ministry’s timetable
- Weigh annual against monthly Thai terms: the annual rate commits you to seats
- Thai notice runs to the next paydays, and 30 days of processing come on top
- Budget an agency fee for a Thai hire: no in-house recruiters, so you hire a Talent Marketplace agency

My take
I’d look at RemotePeople if you want a dedicated account manager alongside local employment contracts, payroll and tax administration, and statutory-benefits administration.
Recruitment 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.

- Visa and work-permit help on request priced for the Non-B route and visa type
RemotePeople cons in Thailand3

My take
I’d consider Deel if you need EOR payroll and benefits administration alongside its separate contractor and HR products.
EOR starts at USD 599 per employee per month, with month-to-month billing available. 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.

- One of three providers with a Thai entity alongside Multiplier and G-P in this top ten
- Deel Payroll if you incorporate in Thailand self-service or managed, without changing platform
- Clear guidance on documents for non-nationals helpful before a Thai Non-B application
Deel cons in Thailand4
- Work permits run on the ministry’s clock so a fast setup won’t speed a foreign Thai hire
- Salary-linked ELC adds to every Thai payroll so request it in the quote
- Equipment costs to compare locally before buying Deel’s IT service for Thai staff

Rippling
4.5/5
Rating
Setting up payroll, laptops and app access for new hires
Starting fee: $499 USD / monthDeposit: Per quoteOnboarding: 3–5 days
My take
The reason I’d consider Rippling is the connection between EOR employment and its HR, IT and finance products, using shared employee data for workflows and reporting.
Device management and app access are separate products within that 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
I’d give Rippling more weight when the Thai hire will use HR and IT processes you already run there. Papaya has a clearer case when your finance team needs Thai payroll reconciled with several other countries. If you already own the Thai employer, request payroll-only scope before buying EOR employment. For one standalone hire, weigh the required platform or reporting package against what you will actually use.

Oyster
4.5/5
Rating
Using one onboarding process for hires across countries
Starting fee: $699 USD / monthDeposit: ~1 monthOnboarding: 10–14 days
My take
I’d weigh Oyster’s fee against the administration it includes: payroll, expenses, time off, reporting, and onboarding and offboarding support.
Benefits packages are optional add-ons. The EOR service fee is USD 699 per employee per month on monthly billing.
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.

Pebl
4.2/5
Rating
Hiring people who need visa or relocation support
Starting fee: $399 USD / monthDeposit: Per quoteOnboarding: 7–10 days
My take
I’d compare Pebl, formerly Velocity Global, if you want hiring, payroll, employee changes, reporting and offboarding in one platform.
EOR starts at $399 per employee per month; the country quote must 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
I’d compare Pebl and RemoFirst for a Thai-national hire when your priority is the employment service rather than a wider software suite. Keep SSF, the assessed Workmen’s Compensation Fund charge and any applicable Employee Welfare Fund contribution outside the service-fee comparison; a lower advertised fee does not remove those items.

EOR starts at USD 599 per employee per month, with volume discounts by quote. Salary, employer costs, benefit premiums and additional services are separate.
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.

My take
I’d budget for Borderless AI’s standard EOR fee of USD 579 per employee per month before considering the temporary offer.
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.

⚠ Trustpilot warning

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. I’d include RemoFirst in a price comparison: it provides a dedicated customer success manager and EOR employment from USD 199 per employee per month, with no minimum contract term or headcount. 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.
