Higher EOR score: 7.8 against 5.5.
Best for: Startups, growing companies and enterprises, the three segments Pebl writes a page for
Read review (Pebl)Justworks, founded in New York in 2012, sells the three services we score here: an Employer of Record outside the US at $599 per employee a month, international contractor payments at $39 per paid contractor a month, and a PEO for US employees from $79. Its help centre and hiring guides document EOR in 42 countries + 1 territory.
Verdict
Best for
- Small businesses, in Justworks' own words
- Companies making a first hire abroad, as in its one EOR case study
- US companies that want a PEO for US staff and EOR abroad from one provider
- Employers paying contractors in its 61 listed countries, with or without the PEO
Not for
- Teams hiring employees outside the 42 countries + 1 territory on its EOR list
- Buyers choosing an EOR mainly on monthly price
- Employers wanting PEO coverage for staff based outside the US
- Buyers who want to read the EOR service agreement before they sign up
- Stands out
- Support: customers reach the team by phone, chat or email, support is live 24/7 for the PEO and for contractor payments, and EOR comes with a stated 24-hour response target and a dedicated Onboarding Manager during setup.
- Biggest limit
- Reach and price on EOR. The list of 42 countries + 1 territory is about a quarter of the widest list we document, and 15 of the 20 other dollar EOR fees listed here cost less than its $599 a month per employee.

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 | No base fee or setup fee. Justworks' own pages disagree on two points. On the PEO: the EOR page FAQ says EOR is open to any company, with or without Justworks PEO, and the help-centre key-features article says it can be standalone or paired with PEO, while the pricing page lists the EOR add-on as 'Available in Basic and Plus plans'. On the country count: the key-features article (updated 2026-05-04) says 37, the help-centre EOR list (updated 2026-07-21) names 43, and the hiring-guides index tags 42 for employees. The index and the list also differ on three countries. Belgium has an EOR guide page but is not on the list; Finland is on the list and has an EOR guide page, though the index tags it contractors only; both are shown. Norway is on the list only and the index tags it contractors only; it is not shown. The 37 figure is older than the list and is not used as a claimed count.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] |
| Contractor payouts | — | Per active paid contractor, billed only in months a contractor is paid, in local currency or USD; exchange-rate fees on top. In 10 of the 61 countries the help centre lists payment is USD only: Belize, Honduras, Jordan, Pakistan, Panama, Serbia, Singapore, Switzerland, Taiwan, Vietnam. Open to employers without PEO or Payroll (standalone option).[1][11][12] |
| PEO | — | US employees only: PEO Basic $79, PEO Plus $124.[1] |

AI summary
Written by an AI model from the data on our pages on 15 Oct 2026. Not a recommendation, not our score, and not a quote from any assistant.
What does the data show about Justworks as an Employer of Record?
AI
EOR costs $599 per employee monthly; Justworks charges no setup fee and sets no minimums. Its help centre names 42 countries + 1 territory, and a company register confirms its UK entity. Support runs by phone, chat and email, with a stated 24-hour response target and an Onboarding Manager for EOR setup.
What the data does not show
Its own pages disagree on the country count (37, 42 or 43) and on whether EOR needs the PEO plan. No EOR agreement, deposit or termination fee is published.
What are Justworks' main drawbacks?
AI
Reach and price. The EOR list of 42 countries + 1 territory is about a quarter of the widest list we document, and 15 of the 20 other dollar EOR fees listed here cost less than its $599 per employee a month. Only general Terms of Use are public, with no API documentation or stated integration count found.
What the data does not show
Justworks says it owns and operates entities in every market it supports; a company register shows only its UK entity. Onboarding times are not stated.
Who should choose Justworks?
AI
Small businesses, as Justworks describes its EOR audience, and US companies that want its PEO for US staff and EOR abroad from one provider. Its one EOR case study is a retailer making its first hire abroad. Contractor payments in 61 countries work without the PEO, which covers US employees only.
What the data does not show
Justworks states no headcount range, so we place it in no size band. Its pages disagree on whether EOR needs a PEO plan.

Questions people ask
Which services does Justworks offer?
We score three: an Employer of Record for employees outside the US, payments to international contractors, and a PEO for US employees. Justworks describes its EOR as designed for small businesses.
What does Justworks charge?
EOR is $599 per employee a month, with no setup fees and no minimums. International contractor payments cost $39 per paid contractor a month, with exchange-rate fees on top. The US PEO is $79 per employee a month on Basic and $124 on Plus, with no base fee.
In how many countries can Justworks employ people?
Its own pages give three figures: 37 in a help-centre article updated in May 2026, 43 in the help-centre EOR list updated in July 2026, and 42 employee countries in its hiring-guides index. The list and the index also disagree on Belgium, Finland and Norway. We show 42 countries + 1 territory (Puerto Rico), each with its source.
Does Justworks use its own entities for EOR?
Its EOR page says Justworks 'owns and operates entities in every market we support' and has its own entities 'in top talent markets across the globe'. One is on a company register: Justworks Employment UK Ltd., active, Companies House number 15456849. Its pages do not name the entities in other countries.
Do I need Justworks PEO to use its EOR?
Its pages disagree. The EOR page FAQ says no, EOR is open to any company whether or not it uses Justworks for its US team, and a help-centre article calls it a standalone product. The pricing page lists the EOR add-on as available in the Basic and Plus PEO plans. Confirm with Justworks before signing.
What support does Justworks offer?
Customers reach support by phone, chat or email. Support is live 24/7 for the PEO, whose plan tables list 24/7 support under 'Personalized, human support and expertise', and for contractor payments, where the contractors page says the support team is available 24/7 for employers and contractors. For EOR, Justworks states a 24-hour response target and assigns a dedicated Onboarding Manager for setup; an ongoing account manager is not mentioned.
How does Justworks pay international contractors?
In local currency or USD, in 61 countries on its help-centre list; 10 of them are USD only. USD goes to a US bank account or a personal virtual wallet such as Wise or Payoneer. The service is available without the PEO or Justworks Payroll.
What certifications and licences does Justworks hold?
Its company page lists SOC 1 and SOC 2 without naming the report type, and ESAC accreditation as a PEO. The IRS list of certified PEOs includes Justworks Employment Group LLC from 1 January 2017. Both ESAC and the IRS listing are US PEO credentials and do not cover the EOR entities abroad, so we count them for the PEO only.
