EOR Price Index
Vendor prices read to . Payroll charges from each government's own pages. How we check.
The spread
The cheapest published Employer of Record fee is RemoFirst and Skuad's starting price of $199 a month. The dearest is Oyster's $699, several times as much for the same service on paper.
Thirteen of the fourteen vendors we track publish a price. Rippling does not. Eleven of the published prices are starting prices that can rise by country or plan.
Findings
- The fee gap is large and the country gap is larger. The difference between two vendors is a fixed monthly amount, while the employer charges below are a share of salary, so on a real salary the country usually matters more than the vendor.
- Rippling publishes no price at all. Anything quoted for Rippling elsewhere is an estimate.
- Six vendors say in their own words that they hold a deposit or reserve: Deel, Multiplier, Oyster, Pebl (Velocity Global), Remote, Teamed. Our pages quote the exact wording.
- Six say on their pricing page that there are no setup or similar fees: Oyster, RemoFirst, Remote, Rivermate, Slasify, Teamed.
