Read the service model before the price
An EOR arrangement, payroll for employees of your own company, a contractor platform and a provider-selection advisor answer different needs. Broad country counts can combine employment, payments, advisory work and partner coverage. Ask for the exact service and legal employer in each intended country.
A quoted monthly service fee is only one part of the budget. Request salary, employer taxes and contributions, benefits, deposits, payroll prefunding, FX, extra services and exit costs separately. Provider statements about compliance, insurance or certification should be checked against the applicable contract, policy or audit scope.
GoGlobal
Service and legal identity
GoGlobal markets EOR alongside payroll for a client’s existing entities. Its website privacy notice identifies GoGlobal K.K. as the website operator, which may not be the entity signing a particular employment or customer contract. GoGlobal EOR services; GoGlobal Global Payroll; GoGlobal website privacy statement (checked 18 October 2026).
Where the models differ
Contractor Flex leaves the contractor agreement with the client. Do not describe it as an automatic transfer of employer or classification liability. GoGlobal’s M&A service explains how EOR or non-resident payroll can bridge a transition to the client’s own entity, while warning that visa sponsorship, contract-duration restrictions and business activity can affect the route. GoGlobal Contractor Flex; GoGlobal mergers and acquisitions (checked 18 October 2026).
Pricing
The service pages do not state a current numeric EOR tariff, deposit formula or FX margin. Obtain a country-specific quote rather than copying third-party price estimates. GoGlobal EOR services; GoGlobal website privacy statement (checked 18 October 2026).

Confirm the service and contracting company in your proposal. Payoneer Q1 2026 Form 10-Q, Note 3; Boundless FAQ (checked 18 October 2026).
Delivery model and Spain
The country-guide FAQ discloses a mix of owned entities and in-country partners. A separate page updated 31 August 2026 says Boundless does not offer the EOR route in Spain and instead discusses employer registration or entity setup through Payoneer Workforce Management. This is Boundless’s stated service position. Boundless country guides and delivery FAQ; Boundless: employment options in Spain (checked 18 October 2026).
Published pricing
The current pricing page displays EOR from £149 per employee per month; its FAQ also states €175/$199. It says monthly charges sit alongside payroll and statutory employment costs, with no setup fee or minimum/long-term commitment. Final pricing depends on country, currencies and regulatory complexity. AOR is a different contractor product, shown from £75 per contractor per month.

Fee and upfront funding

The same page requires a refundable security deposit equal to one month’s gross salary. Statutory employment costs and country-specific government charges are separate. Playroll EOR pricing (checked 18 October 2026).
Product features and compliance claims
The pricing page documents expense approvals, leave tracking, contract signatures and dedicated customer/employee support. It also markets GDPR and SOC 2 compliance. These are provider statements. Background checks, equipment, visa help and additional benefits appear as add-ons, so the quote should identify their charges. Playroll EOR pricing (checked 18 October 2026).

RemotePass
Scope and legal identity
RemotePass lists EOR, contractor management, Contractor of Record and Local Payroll as separate products. Local Payroll is for employees under the client’s entity. Its public terms identify RemotePass Inc. and subsidiaries; section 1.2 allows engagement through RemotePass or third-party partners, governed by a separate Consultant Agreement that takes priority if terms conflict. RemotePass pricing; RemotePass Terms of Service (checked 18 October 2026).
Pricing needs a final quote
The pricing comparison displays EOR $349 per employee/month, contractor management $39 per contractor/month, COR $299 per contractor/month and Local Payroll $15 per employee/month. However, the page also contains older duplicate blocks, including inconsistent annual/monthly wording. RemotePass pricing (checked 18 October 2026).

Rivermate
Brand and delivery model
Rivermate’s 2026 announcement brings together Eos Global Expansion, Serviap Global and Hightekers’ EOR operations under the Rivermate brand. It reports 38 owned legal entities plus a partner network.

Rivermate group unification announcement; Hightekers acquisition of Remunance (checked 18 October 2026).
Pricing and contract detail
The USD pricing view shows EOR at $319–$639 per employee/month, varying by country, headcount, project and local versus expatriate hire. The public July 2025 MSA names Rivermate B.V., registration 78545609, and leaves the deposit amount to the scope of work. It describes returning the deposit within 60 days after final invoices are paid following termination. The unsigned template may differ from a current offer. Rivermate pricing; Rivermate public EOR agreement (checked 18 October 2026).
Security credentials
Rivermate describes TLS, AES-256 encryption and AWS hosting. Its page attributes SOC 2 Type II and ISO/IEC 27001 credentials to AWS. Rivermate itself may not hold those credentials. Request assurance for the application, operational processes and local partners separately. Rivermate security (checked 18 October 2026).

Questions for your proposal
Plane
Identity and delivery
Plane’s customer FAQ identifies Pilot Platform Inc. as Plane and explains that both its own entities and partners act as local legal employers. The client continues to manage day-to-day performance. That makes the entity named on the proposed employment contract more useful than assuming a single global employer. Plane customer FAQs (checked 18 October 2026).
Published fee and deposit
The pricing page displays EOR at $499 per person/month and says there is no setup fee, base fee or cancellation fee. Employee termination timing remains subject to the employment contract. The March 2026 deposit guide requires one month of expected payroll and employer taxes before onboarding proceeds; it says the refund follows within 30 days after final payroll. Plane pricing; Plane international employee security deposit (checked 18 October 2026).
Operational limits
The pricing FAQ acknowledges an EOR partner’s exchange-rate markup without publishing its percentage. The customer FAQ says Plane does not issue equity and cannot withhold additional EOR-employee taxes for non-cash compensation. Its pricing page makes a SOC 2 claim. Billing documentation says fees are charged monthly for prior usage. Plane pricing; Plane customer FAQs; Billing at Plane (checked 18 October 2026).

Ontop
Service boundary
Ontop’s current help documentation explicitly says it does not act as an EOR or hire employees for clients. It supports independent-contractor relationships and payments. The source also says Ontop does not decide worker classification for the client or file workers’ personal tax returns. What Ontop is and how it works (checked 18 October 2026).
Contract and protection choices
For the Ontop-agreement model, the client signs a service agreement with Ontop and Ontop signs a separate independent-contractor agreement. Ontop Guard is described as a premium add-on with a defined coverage limit. The help centre calls it a contractual commitment, not insurance, and expressly says it does not eliminate legal risk. Ontop agreement contract workflow; Ontop Protection / Ontop Guard (checked 18 October 2026).
Price and contracting entity
The product page displays a starting fee of $49 per contractor/month. Help documentation says final pricing depends on contract model, countries and worker count.

Agility EOR
Legal identity and service
Agility’s website terms identify Agility EOR Limited, company 14277130. Companies House lists that company as active and records its earlier Agility PEO Limited name.

Agility website terms; Companies House: AGILITY EOR LIMITED; Agility Ireland EOR (checked 18 October 2026).
Commercial and IP approach
A provider interview describes a fixed monthly fee per employee without publishing a number. It says customer agreements pass employee-created IP back to the client and that clients can propose contract amendments, subject to local enforceability. It also describes checking expense tax treatment and offering reimbursement administration. These are service descriptions; the actual agreement should establish the obligations. Agility questions answered by Sam Barnes (checked 18 October 2026).
Privacy and website terms

Current pricing and upfront cash
The live pricing page displayed EOR from EUR560 per employee/month, zero FX markup and no setup or exit service fee. It also disclosed a refundable deposit of one month’s gross salary and funding of the first month’s employment cost.

Bradford Jacobs
Service model
Bradford Jacobs currently presents an advisor and broker model: assess requirements, compare providers and arrange employment through vetted partners. Its claim of independence does not rule out commercial incentives. The advisory relationship and the local employment service involve different responsibilities and may involve different contracts. Bradford Jacobs home; Bradford Jacobs talent acquisition (checked 18 October 2026).
Fees and scope
The talent-acquisition page describes fixed-fee placement, retained search and programme support. It says fees are quoted before sourcing and EOR/payroll/benefits charges are billed directly by the provider without Bradford Jacobs marking them up. That statement applies to the described engagement. Bradford Jacobs talent acquisition (checked 18 October 2026).
