Best EOR Companies in 2026

Deel is a global HR and payroll company founded in 2019 by Alex Bouaziz (chief executive) and Shuo Wang (chief revenue officer). Its about page reports more than 4,000 team members in more than 100 countries and gives two customer figures, 35,000+ in founder biographies and 40,000+ elsewhere; its pricing page also cites more than 40,000 customers and more than US$20 billion of payroll processed.

Deel's employer of record service provides full legal employment in more than 130 countries, within a platform that covers more than 150 countries for contractors and payroll. Beyond EOR, the company sells contractor management, a contractor-of-record service, a US PEO, global payroll for companies with their own entities, and HR software, so a customer can move workers between engagement models as headcount in a country grows.

EOR pricing starts at US$599 per employee per month, contractors from US$49 per month, contractor of record from US$325 and the US PEO from US$125 per employee per month. The FAQ describes month-to-month pricing without long-term commitment, and contractor payments can be made in more than 120 currencies. Published prices are starting points, and country-specific costs such as statutory contributions and benefits are added on top. Deel's breadth is its main advantage; its range of products and add-ons also makes total cost harder to compare than single-product providers.

Remote is a global employment company co-founded by Job van der Voort, its chief executive, and Marcelo Lebre, its president; its staff work remotely across many countries and the copyright holder is Remote Technologies, Inc. The company says it is trusted by more than 30,000 companies.

Remote's distinguishing claim is its entity model. Its EOR page cites more than 100 entities "owned and operated by Remote" and describes them as "100% owned entities, no third parties", in contrast with providers that use local partner firms in some countries. Owning the employing entity gives Remote direct control over payroll, benefits and employment contracts. EOR coverage is stated as more than 90 countries, while contractor onboarding and payment covers more than 190 countries with payments in more than 70 currencies.

EOR pricing starts at US$599 per employee per month for annual contracts; no monthly-contract price is given on the page. Contractor products start at US$29 (Contractor Management), US$99 (Contractor Management Plus) and US$325 (Contractor of Record) per contractor per month. The trade-off of the owned-entity model is narrower EOR coverage than providers that use partners, so companies hiring in less common countries should check availability first.

G-P, the trading name of Globalization Partners LLC, is one of the longest-established EOR providers; its about page cites "more than a decade of global employment experience" and lists Nicole Sahin as chief executive. The company states hiring access in more than 180 countries, more than 40 legal experts, more than 200 global partners and a 96% customer satisfaction rating.

The EOR product covers employment contracts, payroll in more than 150 currencies, benefits and compliance. G-P also sells a contractor product covering more than 190 countries and Gia, an AI compliance assistant that it says draws on more than 100,000 vetted articles and more than 1,500 government sources and covers more than 50 countries and all 50 US states.

Pricing starts at US$599 per employee per month for EOR, with volume discounts. Contractors start at US$39 per contractor per month, falling for teams paying more than ten contractors, and the fee applies only in months when an invoice is paid. Gia starts at US$500 per seat per month with a 14-day trial. G-P's breadth of coverage and enterprise track record are its main strengths. Its reliance on more than 200 partners indicates that, in some countries, employment runs through partner entities rather than its own, which buyers should confirm per country.

Oyster is a global employment platform that describes itself as a Certified B Corp and as the only B Corp-certified EOR. It states that it can hire, pay and support talent in more than 180 countries and that compliant onboarding can take as little as 48 hours; named customers include GiveDirectly, Chili Piper, Kinsta and Lokalise.

Unlike providers that publish only a "starting from" figure, Oyster lists a single EOR price of US$699 per employee per month, with an annual seat-based billing option at a reduced fee described in its FAQ. Its pricing page states EOR coverage of more than 120 countries, while its home page cites more than 180 countries for hiring, paying and supporting talent, the latter including contractors. Global Contractors costs US$29 per contractor per month after a 30-day free trial, and People Partner Services (HR advisory) is US$300 per hour. Salary Insights data covers more than 130 countries.

Oyster's US$699 list price is higher than the US$599 starting points of Deel, Remote and G-P, although the comparison depends on country-level fees that those rivals add. Currency conversion fees may apply when paying in a currency other than the contract currency.

Rippling, a workforce platform covering HR, payroll, IT and spend management, offers an employer of record service as part of its global products. It states that it handles legal, compliance and payroll in 115 countries and that it is trusted by more than 34,000 businesses.

The advantage of Rippling's EOR is integration: international hires are managed in the same platform that Rippling customers use for HR, payroll and IT administration of domestic staff. Rippling cites customer examples such as NuvoAir, which reported a 90% reduction in onboarding time, and describes support with a 95% customer satisfaction rate and a 29-second average response time.

Rippling does not publish EOR or global payroll prices. Its general pricing page says plans start at US$8 per employee per month plus a monthly base fee, but EOR and global payroll require a custom quote. For companies not already using Rippling, the EOR is less likely to be the deciding factor, and the lack of a published EOR price makes comparison with Deel, Remote or G-P harder.

Pebl is the new name of Velocity Global; its site states "Velocity Global is now Pebl" and the legal footer reads "Pebl (Velocity Global, LLC)", and velocityglobal.com pages redirect to Pebl. The company presents itself as an AI-powered employer of record covering more than 185 countries and cites more than 12 years of compliance experience, more than 1,500 customers and 99.9% payroll accuracy and timeliness.

Pebl states that 90% of employees it supports are employed through Pebl-owned entities, with the remainder through partners, and that contracts are available in more than 25 languages. Its platform covers hiring, onboarding, payroll, employee changes, reporting and offboarding, includes an AI assistant called Alfie, and offers integrations and API access. The company says its compliance guidance is vetted by the law firm Baker McKenzie.

Its EOR pricing page lists US$399 per month per employee, below the US$599 starting points of Deel, Remote and G-P, while also directing buyers to request a quote; billing terms and any setup or offboarding fees are not stated on the page. The rebrand is recent enough that contracts, invoices and references may still carry the Velocity Global name.

Safeguard Global provides employer of record, global payroll and related workforce services, stating that it can recruit, hire, manage and pay employees across 187 countries and territories. It cites more than 400 in-house, in-country experts, more than 1,500 organisations as customers and a 94% customer satisfaction score.

Alongside EOR, Safeguard Global offers entity setup services for companies that want to establish their own legal entity once a country team grows, and payroll for those entities. That makes it a candidate for organisations planning a staged expansion from EOR to direct employment. Its popular markets include the UK, Germany, France, Japan, India, Brazil, Mexico, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and Kenya.

Safeguard Global does not publish prices; its site offers a cost-estimating tool and directs buyers to sales. It also does not state on its home page which countries are served by its own entities versus partners, which buyers should establish before signing.

Skuad is a global employment platform offering employer of record, agent-of-record contractor and contractor-management services. It states that companies can hire employees in more than 160 countries without setting up a local entity and publishes country guides for markets such as Canada, Germany, India and Brazil.

Skuad's main differentiator is price. EOR starts from US$199 per employee per month, with larger discounts as more employees are onboarded. Agent-of-record contractor services start from US$99 per contractor per month, and the Contractor Management System, which handles payments only, from US$19 per contractor per month.

The low starting fee compares with US$599 at Deel, Remote and G-P, although starting prices are not like-for-like: providers differ in what benefits administration, offboarding and country-specific costs they include. The pricing page does not publish customer counts, entity ownership or contract terms, and a formal quote requires a demo request.

RemoFirst, operated by RemoFirst Inc., is an employer of record that markets itself on price. It states that customers can employ people in more than 185 countries and pay contractors in more than 150, and that its partners have more than 20 years of experience and have processed more than US$30 billion in international payroll.

EOR starts at US$199 per person per month, with the FAQ noting that the fee may vary with local country requirements and that a full cost breakdown is provided before commitment. Contractor management is free at the basic level (onboarding, identity checks, contracts and expense reimbursement), and a Premium tier at US$25 per person per month adds payment processing and invoices. RemoHealth, a health-insurance product, starts at US$55 per person per month. The company also claims that other providers charge US$599 to US$1,200 per employee per month; that is RemoFirst's own comparison.

The reference to partners' experience suggests that RemoFirst relies on partner entities in many countries. Its pricing page gives two different figures for visa and work-permit coverage (110+ and 85+ countries), and its copyright line had not been updated beyond 2024 when checked.

Boundless is an employer of record provider whose website lists Boundless Technologies Limited at an address on St Stephen's Green, Dublin, Ireland. It covers more than 110 countries and acts as the legal employer so that customers can hire without setting up local entities.

Boundless prices in several currencies. Its EOR section states a starting price of £149 per employee per month, while its FAQ gives €175 or US$199 per employee per month; final costs vary by country, currency and regulatory complexity. Pricing in euros and sterling suits European employers that want to avoid currency exposure on the service fee.

With coverage of 110+ countries, Boundless serves fewer markets than Deel, G-P or Pebl, and it does not publish customer numbers or state whether its employing entities are owned or partner-operated. The two starting prices on its pricing page do not match exactly when converted, so buyers should confirm the applicable fee in their billing currency.

Native Teams, operated by Native Teams Limited, provides employer of record, payroll and payment services. Its pricing page states that it has infrastructure in more than 95 countries and describes "+95 entities" with the line "One entity between you and your hire. Ours.", indicating that it employs workers through its own entities.

The platform supports hiring and paying employees abroad, and Native Teams also serves individual workers who want to be employed through its entities. Owned entities in each country it covers give it direct control over employment contracts and payroll, similar in principle to Remote's model, though at a smaller scale.

Native Teams does not publish EOR prices on its pricing page, which offers a demo for pricing by target country. Its coverage of 95+ countries is narrower than larger providers, and the page gives no customer counts or headquarters address, only a UK data-protection registration in the footer.

Remote People is an employer of record and recruitment provider with a footer address at 85 Broad Street, New York; the former joinhorizons.com pricing page now redirects to its EOR page. It cites coverage of more than 150 countries, more than 3,000 customer companies, more than 200 legal and HR specialists and typical onboarding of 48 hours from signed paperwork, and states that it holds SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications.

Its EOR Global service starts from US$499 per employee per month, with the final rate depending on the country and employment requirements and confirmed in a proposal; salaries, statutory employer contributions, benefits and add-ons are charged separately. An EOR Select option is available for hires meeting certain country and salary conditions, and a US PEO is listed from US$99 a month. Recruitment placements carry a six-month replacement guarantee.

The combination of recruiting and EOR suits companies hiring their first employees in a new market. The provider is smaller than the market leaders, publishes only starting prices, and the page does not state whether employing entities are owned or partner-operated.
