Of the 13 providers we score, 4 run an owned entity in Mexico and the rest work through a partner. Employer costs here run 25.9 per cent on top of gross salary, and statutory annual leave starts at 12 days. Ranking below is the country adjusted score: the overall score with the coverage criterion moved up for an owned entity and down for a partner.
Deel says it owns entities in more than 130 countries, which puts it among the largest owned networks of any EOR provider. Its published EOR fee of USD 599 per employee per month is in line with the other large platforms, and contracts run month to month. It suits companies hiring both contractors and employees across several countries. Before signing, get the deposit amount and FX markup in writing, confirm that no offboarding fee applies, and check which of your countries run through a partner rather than a Deel entity.
Remote employs your staff through entities it owns in every country where it offers EOR, and its terms leave indemnities for EOR services uncapped, so it ranks well on compliance. The cost is a list fee of USD 699 per employee per month, and the margin in its monthly FX rate is not published. Standard terms can be cancelled on 30 days' notice, but an order form with a minimum contract value commits you for its full term and renews at a higher price. Shortlist it if owned entities in every country matter most to you, and get the FX margin and any order form terms in writing before you sign.

G-P is one of the most compliance-focused EORs available, with over 100 of its own legal entities and a long record in heavily regulated countries. Its list price starts at USD 599 per employee per month, but independent reviewers report higher quotes, a one-off setup fee per hire, a deposit, an FX markup and an offboarding charge. Shortlist it if you’re a larger business that puts compliance ahead of cost, and get the full fee schedule in writing before you sign.

Oyster suits companies that want HR experts, legal support and termination handling included in one EOR fee, along with integrations for the most common HRIS and ATS platforms. The trade-offs are a USD 699 monthly list price, a refundable deposit of about one month's employment cost per hire, and EOR coverage of 120+ countries rather than the 180+ headline. There are no onboarding or offboarding fees, and monthly billing carries no minimum term.

Expect a refundable deposit per employee, FX conversion charged on top and 90 days’ notice to offboard anyone.

Playroll publishes its EOR price, from USD 399 per employee per month, with no onboarding or offboarding fees and no minimum term, though a refundable deposit of one month's salary is due for each hire. Employers get a dedicated customer success manager and their staff get a separate employee success manager, both included in the fee. Playroll holds SOC 2 Type II and states GDPR compliance. It was built on VAT IT Group's entity network and describes its model as mostly owned entities, with partners in some of its 180+ countries. Confirm who the legal employer will be in each country you plan to hire in.

Atlas HXM says it employs staff through its own legal entities in more than 160 countries rather than through local partners, so you deal with one accountable employer in each market. The $599 starting fee covers the platform only: a country-specific Local Employer Services rate, an FX markup and benefits costs are added on top, so judge it on a full quote rather than the headline fee. There’s no minimum term. It suits companies that value hands-on support and visa sponsorship more than the widest choice of HR software integrations.

Papaya Global is a payroll and payments platform that also offers EOR. Its published EOR rate starts at 499 USD per employee per month, although the final rate is set at quote and varies by country. It suits finance-led teams running payroll across many countries. Before signing, get the deposit, the per-hire onboarding fee and the FX processing fee in writing, and ask which countries use Papaya’s own entity rather than a local partner.

Rippling suits companies that want EOR inside the same system that runs their HR, payroll, IT and spend. Its EOR covers 80+ countries, contractor payments reach 185+, and Rippling quotes 5 days to payday in popular markets. EOR is quote-only and sits on top of the required Rippling Platform with a minimum user commitment, so the total cost is higher than the EOR fee alone and it is a weaker fit for buyers who only need EOR.

Safeguard Global is one of the longest-running EOR providers. It was founded in 2008, began offering EOR in 2010 and says it covers 187 countries. In March 2025 it sold its enterprise payroll division to concentrate on small and mid-sized employers, and its standalone payroll service now runs through an outside vendor. EOR pricing is quote-only; its own materials put typical fees at $699 to $800 per employee per month. It suits companies that want EOR, contractor payments, entity setup and recruitment from one provider, with in-country HR support.

Veridian Global is a South Africa specialist, so it only makes a shortlist when your hires are based in South Africa. In that case, its own South African entity, published pricing from 10% of salary with no placement fees, and a dedicated account manager are the reasons to consider it. It holds no SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification, so ask to see its POPIA and GDPR controls before signing.
