Where they pull apart

Multiplier

Stands out: A published per-employee EOR number, which is still uncommon in this category, plus contractor and payroll SKUs beside it.

Watch out: The $459 figure is the Core annual employee fee, not all-in employment cost. Some countries price off-list, and Growth is higher.

Not the right fit for

  • US-only headcount
  • Enterprises that need a custom global payroll OS more than a flat EOR fee

RemoFirst

Stands out: A flat $199 EOR fee across most countries, plus a free contractor basics tier.

Watch out: Some countries cost more than $199. RemoHealth starts at $55/person/mo. Entities are partner-run, not owned.

Not the right fit for

  • Enterprises that require owned legal entities
  • Teams that need a deep native HRIS
