Where they pull apart

G-P

Stands out: Published EOR, contractor and AI agent prices, plus a hosted MCP server and public API.

Watch out: The $39 headline is G-P Contractor, not EOR. EOR starts at $599 per employee per month, and bundles or volume discounts need a quote.

Not the right fit for

US-only payroll shops
Very small teams with one overseas hire on a tight budget

Papaya Global

Stands out: One operating layer for EOR and unified global payroll when the brief is headcount in many countries, not a US PEO.

Watch out: This is an employment contract, not a self-serve HRIS. Budget the country statutory stack on top of the platform fee.

Not the right fit for

US-only payroll
A two-person team hiring one contractor abroad
Buyers who need a self-serve HRIS seat

Pros and cons

G-P

Published EOR and contractor prices
Hosted MCP server and public API
No minimum EOR contract length

EOR at $599/employee is a high entry cost
Gia AI agent is a separate $500 seat
Bundle pricing needs a sales quote

Papaya Global

EOR and global payroll in one vendor instead of a country-by-country patchwork
Large country footprint for companies that are already multi-entity in spirit
Public API for payroll ops

Workforce OS and Contingent OS are sales-quoted
Overkill for a single overseas contractor
Not an ATS or a US payroll product
