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.

I’d ask for a Turkish quote that shows the severance calculation separately from the reserve collected. The useful comparison is how the provider funds, reconciles and returns any unused reserve, alongside its service fee and support commitments.

Deel pros in Turkey3
- Kıdem accrual itemised on Deel’s books so Turkish severance is not a surprise at exit
- Alerts on contractor tenure before Turkish freelance work drifts into employment
- Itemised quote for SGK and fees with salary and Deel’s fee on separate lines
Deel cons in Turkey4

- Check incentive relief is passed through on the Turkish contribution base
- Lira deposit refunds may convert at a cost if you want the balance in another currency
- No Deel recruiters for Turkish roles: you run the search on Find talent or through talent partners

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.

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.
Fit check for Rippling, Papaya Global and Borderless AI
A combined payroll workflow can reduce administration, but it should sit behind a clear Turkish employment structure. I’d ask which company employs the person, whether temporary-agency rules apply and why the proposed duration is permitted. For payroll on your own entity, compare that service separately from EOR employment.

Using one onboarding process for hires across countries
Starting fee: $699 USD / monthDeposit: ~1 monthOnboarding: 5–7 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: 2–5 days
My take
At onboarding, for an employee working in Türkiye, Pebl’s terms require that neither the client nor its affiliates is incorporated there, owns or controls a local entity, or plans to become, acquire or establish one.
Later changes to these circumstances must be reported promptly to Pebl in writing. I’d resolve this restriction before considering Pebl as a temporary step towards opening a company.
Pebl, formerly Velocity Global, combines 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.

For a foreign specialist, this proposal becomes useful when the named employer explains the applicable permit criteria, any role-specific exemption and the documents still needed.

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.

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 check the job title before shortlisting RemoFirst for Türkiye: C-suite roles such as CEO and CFO are generally unavailable through its EOR service.
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.
