Scored impartially by Claude Opus 5.5 against the same seven public criteria used for every provider.
Verdict
Justworks is an exceptional choice for US-centric SMBs seeking to hire international staff alongside their domestic US team within a single, highly polished HR dashboard. While its global EOR footprint (42+ countries) and $599/mo rate are less suited for rapid enterprise expansion across obscure regions, its customer support, transparent fees, and unified platform make it a top pick for US companies expanding abroad.
Global EOR pricing is published at $599/mo per employee. Domestic US PEO plans start at $79/mo (PEO Basic) or $124/mo (PEO Plus), and contractor management is available from $39/mo.
What is not included
FX markup: not published, ask in writing
Deposit: none reported
Off-boarding fee: none reported
Minimum term: no minimum term reported
Employer contributions and statutory benefits, which sit on top of salary
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.
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.
