How to use these reviews

Filter by the countries and services you need, save a shortlist, then open each profile for its starting fee, deposit and contract terms.

Salary, employer contributions and benefits come on top of the provider’s fee. Each profile links its sources, with the date we checked them. Our pricing and contract research lists the questions to ask before you sign.

1

Check the offer

Match the services, starting fee, deposit and contract terms to your hire.

2

Check the evidence

Look at country coverage, onboarding time, support and exit terms. Each claim links to its source.

3

Compare the proposal

Send each provider the same brief (country, role, salary, benefits and start date), then compare the written proposals: scope, monthly fees, deposit and exit terms.

How these reviews are made

What we cover

Fees, deposits, payroll funding, country coverage, support and exit terms. We list the EOR fee apart from salary, employer costs and optional services.

Hands-on testing

For every full review, our team opens a client account we pay for, requests real country quotes and runs a hire through onboarding and payroll. We then check what we found against the provider’s published terms and pricing.

How we rate

Ratings out of five are our editors’ call after testing each provider, not customer review scores. Our review methodology sets out the criteria.

Referral disclosure

We may earn commissions or referral fees when readers become customers through our links or introductions. We also charge fixed fees for audits, managed switches and RFP projects.

By Martynas Pupkevicius · Updated 8 Nov 2026

Questions that help narrow the shortlist

Which employer of record should I shortlist?

Filter by hiring country and service, then read the full reviews or profiles of two to four providers. Before you compare quotes, ask each one who the legal employer will be, which benefits it offers, who your support contact is and how soon the hire can start.

For a starting point, see our ranking of the 11 best EOR providers, then check each pick against your country and role.

Do the highest country totals mean the widest usable coverage?

Not always. A country total doesn’t tell you whether the provider will take your role, contract type or start date, and some totals include contractor payments, which aren’t EOR employment. Ask for the legal employer, benefits and support contact in each country you need.

How do the $199 starting offers compare?

RemoFirst’s EOR starts at $199 per employee per month, and the fee varies by country. RemotePeople’s EOR Select starts at $199 for eligible countries and salary ranges; its EOR Global plan starts at $499.

Both are service fees. Salary, employer contributions and benefits come on top, so the lower fee isn’t always the cheaper hire. Compare written quotes for the same role, deposit and extras included.

Pricing checked 30 October 2026.

Is every directory listing a full review?

No. A full review means we tested the provider hands-on and wrote up the results. Provider information with sources means the profile links a source for each claim. Other entries are basic listings.

Use the Reviews & sources filter to see only reviewed or sourced providers. A listing on its own is not a recommendation.

How should I compare annual and monthly prices?

Work out the fees over the same period, then read the commitment, renewal and refund terms. A lower monthly price often needs an annual commitment: Multiplier charges $459 per employee per month billed annually and $499 billed monthly. Count refundable deposits apart from fees you won’t get back.

Tell us where you’re hiring and what you need. We can help you compare suitable providers and their proposals.
