What each one does differently

Deel

$49/contractor/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Broader global HR platform if you will pay a higher EOR fee.

Stands out: Hiring, contractors and employer of record in one global stack, with MCP and API.

Watch out: The $14 figure is the recruiting module, not the cost of employing someone abroad: employer of record is $599 per employee per month. Contractor of Record is listed at $325 and US PEO at $125.

Best for

Companies hiring in many countries without entities
Teams paying global contractors
HR organisations that also want a light hire module

Oyster

$699/employee/mo 30 day free trial API

Why it comes up: EOR with a public $699 employee fee and a contractor trial.

Stands out: Public EOR and contractor prices, plus a documented developer API and HRIS connections.

Watch out: EOR is $699 per employee. People Services advisory is $300 per hour. Annual discounts apply on EOR.

Best for

Companies hiring full-time staff in 120-plus countries
Teams that want a contractor 30-day trial
People ops that need Workday or BambooHR sync

Remote

$29/employee/mo MCP API

Why it comes up: Owned-entity EOR if partner entities are a blocker.

Stands out: Published USD prices plus a hosted MCP server at mcp.remote.com and a public employment API.

Watch out: EOR is $699 per employee/month, not $29. Payroll has implementation and delivery fees on top. FX uses Remote’s own rate.

Best for

Companies hiring abroad without a local entity
Teams paying contractors in many countries
US PEO buyers who want one global vendor

Multiplier

$459/employee/mo

Why it comes up: Mid-price EOR if $199 is too thin on benefits.

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.

Best for

US companies hiring in APAC without entities
Finance teams that want a flat EOR fee they can model
Teams mixing employees and contractors abroad
