Good for
  • Companies that want HR, payroll and IT admin on one record
  • Teams that expect to add modules over time
  • Startups using the vendor's venture-backed startup offer
  • Companies hiring contractors or employees in other countries
  • Teams that want one vendor for global payroll and compliance
  • Businesses with a mix of contractors and employees
Watch out for
  • Prices are not published beyond the $8 starting figure; a custom quote is needed
  • Cost depends on the modules chosen and a base fee whose amount is not stated
  • The pricing page does not list countries served, so check payroll coverage for your location
  • Priced per person, so cost grows with each worker; EOR is $599 per employee per month
  • Global Payroll and HR prices are not published
  • Mostly aimed at cross-border hiring, not a US-only payroll for a small local team
