A monthly service fee is only one part of an EOR quote. Compare the hiring country, employing entity, contract term, salary, employer contributions, benefits, funding requirements, currency conversion and exit costs on the same basis. A refundable deposit is cash tied up; record it separately from service expenses.

Three findings deserve particular attention: Deel identifies a mandatory Employer Liability Cost outside its headline service fee; Pebl’s published EOR terms describe a 90-day offboarding notice requirement and continuing fee obligations; and Borderless AI’s year-end promotion expires on 31 December 2026.

Published offer. The general pricing page displays an EOR fee of $579 per month and separate contractor-management and payroll products. A more specific campaign states a USD 399 EOR fee per employee per month for companies headquartered outside Canada, on fees billed through 31 December 2026. It says USD 579 applies from 1 January 2027, including customers who joined during the promotion. Some countries and employment types are separately priced. Service fee and promotion terms rechecked 1 November 2026.

Why it matters. A discounted month is not a permanent rate. Ask for a quote that covers the entire expected employment period, identifies the local employer and explains any deposit, statutory costs and country exceptions. The campaign advertises month-to-month service with no setup, onboarding or implementation fees.

Ask before selecting. Check the signed service agreement, current deposit policy for the hire, local employer registration and the scope of security assurance.

Published offer. Deel’s pricing page lists EOR from USD 599 per employee/month and offers month-to-month pricing. Its June 2026 help article states that Employer Liability Cost (ELC) is mandatory for all EOR clients and active contract types. ELC appears separately under employment costs and is calculated per employee using gross salary for the billing cycle; country rates differ. Pricing and ELC terms rechecked 1 November 2026; other documentary checks retain 18 October 2026.

Contract and data evidence. Deel’s legal hub separates platform, payroll, contractor, PEO and other product terms and links its data-processing addendum and trust center. Its security page is a provider source. Product-specific terms matter: a contractor-administration agreement is not an EOR employment agreement.

Ask before selecting. Obtain the country-specific ELC amount, deposit calculation and refund conditions, invoice currency, exchange-rate policy and notice charges. Request the EOR agreement and local employing entity rather than relying on general platform terms. A security reviewer should inspect the actual report period, scope and exceptions.

EOR pricing. Papaya’s pricing page lists EOR from $499 per employee per month. A country quote must establish the billing commitment and included services. Pricing evidence rechecked 8 November 2026.

Cost scope. Papaya’s EOR cost guide distinguishes the service fee from employer contributions, deposits and other costs. Its security page describes hosting, encryption, access logging and third-party supplier assessment. These are published provider statements. Sources checked 18 October 2026.

Ask before selecting. Get one dated country-specific offer naming the contracting party, local employer and payment entity. Ask which entity holds each obligation and what the quoted liability coverage excludes. Confirm deposit, FX, setup, off-cycle payroll and termination charges. A payment license or platform security claim is not permission to employ every worker in every country.

Published offer. Pebl, formerly Velocity Global, advertises $399 per employee per month on its EOR pricing page. Confirm currency, country eligibility and the commercial model in the order form.

Contract evidence. Its October 2026 EOR terms require payroll funding before onboarding and describe separate employment, FX, benefits and offboarding costs. Section 5.2.3 specifies at least 90 days’ written notice to offboard a supported worker, beginning on the first day of the following calendar month, with service fees during that period. Other sections distinguish PayGo, Employee Term and Capacity arrangements and can accelerate remaining service fees, subject to stated exceptions. The applicable order form and agreement must be read together.

Delivery and eligibility. The same terms refer to local affiliates or in-country partners and contain work-location restrictions, including representations about existing or planned client entities in specified countries. Pebl’s homepage reports that 90% of supported employees use Pebl-owned entities; that is an employee share, not the percentage of countries with owned entities.

Ask before selecting. Model a worker leaving early, obtain the funding/refund schedule, identify the employer and confirm the applicable country restrictions. Request current assurance reports separately. Sources checked 18 October 2026.

General advertised price rechecked 1 November 2026: $399 per employee/month; dollar currency and commitment remain unconfirmed. The contract, delivery and historical observations above retain their 18 October check date.

Published offer. Remote’s current pricing page advertises EOR from USD 599 per employee/month for annual contracts. Its management-fee help article describes a USD 699 standard monthly usage price and negotiated order forms. Annual commitment does not establish annual prepayment. Get the country rate and invoice schedule in writing. Service fees and stated billing terms rechecked 1 November 2026; other observations retain 18 October 2026.

Funding and operations. Remote’s reserve guidance says a reserve may be required after review. Its invoice guide separates estimated prefunding from reconciliation. Its operating guidance requires Remote’s involvement in termination planning and employment changes.

Ask before selecting. Confirm the reserve, refund process, FX rate and billing term, then agree who approves changes before communicating them to the worker. Remote’s security overview makes ISO and SOC claims; ask for the report scope and current validity. Sources checked 18 October 2026.

Published offer. RemotePeople distinguishes EOR Global from USD 499 per employee per month and EOR Select from USD 199 for selected countries and qualifying employee salary ranges. The proposal confirms eligibility, rate and billing terms. Salary, employer contributions and benefits costs are separate from service administration. Pricing and eligibility rechecked 1 November 2026; other observations retain 18 October 2026.

Security evidence. Its security page claims SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 assurance and EU-hosted AWS infrastructure. Ask for the current report, the named audited entity, the assessment period and any exceptions.

Ask before selecting. Have the proposal name the local employing entity and identify any partner. Confirm whether the quoted hire qualifies for Select, whether salary changes affect eligibility, and how recruitment, equipment and immigration are priced. Request deposit/refund terms, liability allocation, the data-processing agreement and current assurance documents.

Published offer and model. RemoFirst’s pricing page advertises EOR from USD 199 per employee per month, varying by country requirements. It states no annual contract or minimums and no setup, onboarding or termination service fees. The same page explicitly describes its in-country partner model. Equipment, insurance, immigration and other add-ons have separate costs. Statutory employment costs still apply.

Security and legal claims. Its enterprise page claims SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 assurance and legal-employer indemnification. Ask for the full audit reports, the employing partner’s identity and the indemnity’s exclusions and caps for your agreement. Sources checked 18 October 2026.

Ask before selecting. Obtain the local employer’s name, escalation route, partner replacement provisions and responsibility for payroll errors. Ask who funds and refunds deposits, how employment ends and whether add-ons have separate commitments. Assess the partner’s country experience with evidence relevant to the proposed hire.

EOR starting fee, currency and no-annual-contract/minimum-headcount offer rechecked 1 November 2026. Other policy, delivery and security observations retain their original dates.
