Verdict
Native Teams is a budget-friendly, product-first EOR platform with exceptional strength across CEE and emerging markets. Combining global employment from $99/mo with multi-currency wallets, physical cards, and flexible contractor tools, it is an ideal choice for lean SMBs and scaling startups seeking cost-effective cross-border hiring.
Advertised EOR baseline starts at $99/mo per employee for lower salary bands, scaling to $199–$399/mo depending on total employment cost and jurisdiction. Contractor payments start at $19/mo.

Entity model by country
Country-specific entity ownership data is not available. Confirm the legal employer before signing.
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.
