COR at $49 per contractor a month with no setup fee: the 8 other per-contractor-month COR list prices on this site are all higher

The $49 COR card and the terms disagree: the card describes direct hiring with your own agreements, the T&Cs and help centre describe Ontop as the contracting party that invoices in its own name

Own SOC 2 (Type I and II), SOC 3 and ISO 27001:2022 on its security page; the AWS certifications listed there are kept apart as the host's

The "from" prices assume an annual contract. Monthly EOR costs $499 on Core and $559 on Growth, about 11% of countries are priced differently, and compliance-mandated add-ons come on top of EOR and COR

Top pro
EOR from $99 per employee a month, below all 20 other per-employee EOR prices in USD we compare
Top con
The terms of service are the only contract text online. The EOR and COR agreements are not published, and the terms say a separate signed contract takes precedence

Top pro
EOR from $349 per employee a month with tax included; 13 of 20 other EOR prices in dollars start higher
Top con
No EOR agreement is public: the Terms say EOR runs under a separate Consultant Agreement "available on the Site", which we did not find. The public legal documents are the Terms, the Privacy Policy and the Acceptable Use Policy
Compare prices in the same unit. Most providers here charge a fee per contractor a month. 4dev.com and Mellow take a share of each payout instead, and 4dev.com states its rate falls as monthly volume grows. Garna publishes no price.
Check who is the contracting party. 4dev.com, Mellow, Native Teams and Garna state that they contract with each contractor themselves, which reduces misclassification risk. Each provider page says what its COR covers.
Look for deposits. Deel asks for one month of the contractor’s wages as a security deposit, and Remote People asks for a one-month deposit on fixed-rate contracts.
Check certifications if your procurement asks for them. Our data lists 4dev.com, Mellow and Garna as not for buyers who need a published SOC 2 or ISO 27001 report.
Questions people ask
What does a Contractor of Record do?
It contracts with the contractor itself and bills you, so the contract, documents and payments sit with the provider. Each provider page says what the provider states it covers.
How is the order worked out?
By our COR score, from our five criteria with our standard weights. Review-platform ratings are shown on the cards but are not part of it.
Why are the prices in different units?
Providers price COR per contractor a month, as a share of each payout, or on their own terms. Prices in different units are not compared with each other.
