Short answer
Stay with G-P (Globalization Partners) if you are

Moving contractors onto payroll, which G-P sells as its own service
Security reviews that ask for SOC 2 and ISO/IEC 27001
Companies on Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, ADP, UKG or BambooHR, all on G-P's integrations page

What our data points to
Limits in our data on G-P (Globalization Partners), from its own pages and the facts we checked. This is a summary, not the reasons any one customer gave.
EOR from $599 per employee a month; 15 of 20 other EOR prices in US dollars that we compare start lower; volume discounts are offered but not quantified
G-P names no EOR setup fee, deposit or termination fee
G-P publishes its website Terms of Service; its legal pages link no EOR or contractor agreement that we could find
Own entities: 1 on company registers (UK) + 1 more stated by the provider (US); for the other documented countries the data does not say whether G-P or a partner employs
Support hours conflict across G-P's pages: the EOR page gives 24/7 only for the G-P Assist AI, while the startups page says HR experts are available 24/7
One live support channel, a ticket form; an account manager is mentioned only for audit-report requests, and no support response time or onboarding time is published
Contractor management claims 190+ countries, but G-P publishes no list of them
G-P (Globalization Partners) next to its alternatives
Each row is set against G-P (Globalization Partners). Prices are compared only where both publish a “from” price on the same terms, and countries only where both pages show a documented count.
Order: our EOR score, highest first; equal scores go by name. Review-platform ratings do not change it; a row notes where a provider is rated higher than G-P (Globalization Partners) on a platform with at least 50 reviews for each. How we score

What to check with G-P (Globalization Partners) and with the new provider. Your agreement with each one sets the details.
Notice period and contract term. Check how much notice your agreement asks for, whether a minimum term or a renewal date applies, and what leaving early costs.
Data export. Ask for an export of your records, documents, payslips and invoices before the account closes, and in which format it comes.
Moving employees. A new EOR employs your people under new employment contracts; check whether each employee’s agreement is needed, as rules vary by country. Agree start dates and how pay, benefits and leave carry over, so there is no gap.
Deposits. If you paid a deposit, check when and how it comes back, and what may be deducted from it first.
