Oyster

Overview

Oyster is a global employment platform that describes itself as a Certified B Corp and as the only B Corp-certified EOR.^[9] 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.^[9]

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.^[8][9] 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.^[8]

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.^[8]
