Pricing
Setup fees and what each list price includes, by service. The EOR fee for a team follows under Cost at volume.
| Service | Setup fee | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Employer of Record | None | Also quoted as €175 or £149 a month, by country and currency; the final cost depends on the country. Stated country figures differ: 110+ on the pricing, FAQ and EOR pages, but the FAQ on the enterprise and mid-market pages still says more than 35 countries. In France Boundless says it employs through portage salarial; its About page names Boundless Payroll France SARL. The About page also names Boundless Payroll USA LLC, but the country guides index shows the United States as coming soon, so the US row is a claim.[1][2][3][4][5][6] |
| Agent of Record | None | The contractor stays self-employed; classification assessment and payments in 70+ currencies. The pricing page shows £75; the FAQ says no setup fee for Agent of Record. No country list is published for AOR.[7][1][2] |
