Read review (Pebl)Multiplier publishes a price for each of the four services we score here: EOR, COR, its Contractors plan and global payroll. EOR starts at $459 per employee a month on an annual contract. Its EOR guide claims owned entities in 160+ countries. We list 125, 106 of them with a Multiplier country page or company register entry, and 2 own entities are on company registers, in Austria and Singapore. The SOC 2 and ISO 27001 certificates are its own.
Verdict
Best for
- Companies from startups to enterprises, going by Multiplier's segment pages
- Employers with staff spread over many countries
- Companies moving contractors onto payroll
- Software, IT services, financial services, recruitment, e-learning and VC or private equity firms, the six industries Multiplier writes for
- Buyers who want a price for EOR, contractors and payroll before a sales call
Not for
- Buyers who need the deposit amount before signing: Multiplier calculates it per contract
- Contractor of Record buyers choosing on price: $400 a month is above the 7 other US-dollar COR prices we compare
- Buyers who need a stated support response target
- Stands out
- Disclosure. Each of the four services has a price on the pricing page, the EOR, Contractor of Record and order form terms are public, and the SOC 2 Type I and II, SOC 3 and ISO 27001:2022 certifications are Multiplier's own.
- Biggest limit
- Its own pages disagree on terms a buyer signs up to: 24/7 support or 24/5 in the plan lists, no setup fees or an implementation fee "as applicable", cancel anytime or order forms that renew for 12 months.

Pros and cons
Pros
- 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
- EOR, Contractor of Record and order form terms are public; the fees go in an order form signed per client
- A named contracting company: Multiplier Technologies Pte. Ltd., Singapore, UEN 202020851R
- EOR claimed in 160+ countries; we list 125, and 106 (103 countries + 3 territories) have a Multiplier country page or a company register entry
- A price for each service: EOR from $459, Contractor of Record $400, the Contractors plan $40 and global payroll from $20 a month, each billed annually
- Two to three days to onboard: most new hires within 48 hours (startups page), 72 hours or less (EOR guide), a contractor 2-3 days after the MSA

- A dedicated Customer Success Manager, per the startup and mid-size pages
- Contractors paid by bank transfer or crypto, in 120+ currencies
Cons
- 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
- Support hours conflict: the EOR, enterprise and mid-size pages say 24/7 support without saying who answers, the pricing plan lists say 24/5
- Fees conflict: the EOR guide says no setup or offboarding fees, the pricing page adds an implementation fee "as applicable", and setup and implementation fees to global payroll
- Term conflict: "cancel anytime" on the pricing page, while the order form terms renew for 12-month periods unless notice comes 90 days before the end
- EOR and COR terms require a refundable security deposit that Multiplier sizes per contract; no amount is published

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 Multiplier as an Employer of Record?
AI
Multiplier lists EOR from $459 per employee a month on an annual contract and $499 monthly. Its EOR guide claims owned entities in 160+ countries; we list 125, 106 with a country page or register entry, and 2 own entities on company registers. Its EOR terms are public; SOC 2, SOC 3 and ISO 27001:2022 are its own.
What the data does not show
The data has no fixed deposit, setup or termination fee. Multiplier calculates the deposit per contract, and about 11% of countries have adjusted prices.
What are Multiplier's main drawbacks?
AI
Its pages contradict each other on support hours (24/7 or 24/5), on setup fees (none, or an implementation fee as applicable) and on term (cancel anytime, or order forms that renew for 12 months). The refundable deposit is set per contract, and the $400 Contractor of Record price is above the 7 other US-dollar COR prices we compare.
What the data does not show
The data cannot say which of the conflicting terms applies. The order form signed with each client sets the fees and the term.

Questions people ask
Which services does Multiplier offer?
We score four: EOR, Contractor of Record, the Contractors plan (contractor management) and global payroll. The platform is run by Multiplier Technologies Pte. Ltd., registered in Singapore under UEN 202020851R.
How much does Multiplier cost?
Its pricing page (checked 2026-10-15) gives EOR from $459 per employee a month on an annual Core contract or $499 monthly, and $519 or $559 on Growth. Contractor of Record is $400 per contractor a month, the Contractors plan $40 per contractor a month billed annually, and global payroll from $20 per employee a month billed annually, plus setup and implementation fees as applicable. About 11% of countries have adjusted EOR prices, and EOR and COR add compliance-mandated add-ons and an implementation fee "as applicable".
In how many countries can Multiplier employ people?
Its EOR guide says it works through owned entities in 160+ countries, and its Contractor of Record page mentions onboarding specialists in 150+. We list 125 countries and territories: 106 have a Multiplier country page or a company register entry (103 countries + 3 territories: Hong Kong, Macao and Puerto Rico), and 19 are listed without one. Its own entities: 2 on company registers, in Austria and Singapore. A Multiplier company in Luxembourg is on a register too.
Does Multiplier ask for a deposit?
Yes, for EOR and Contractor of Record. Both sets of terms require an interest-free, refundable security deposit that Multiplier calculates from pay, fees and notice periods. The EOR deposit comes back within 60 days of the employee's last working day. No fixed amount is published.
How does Multiplier's Contractor of Record work?
Under its Contractor of Record terms, Multiplier signs the contractor agreement and the contractor works as its subcontractor. That puts the contract with Multiplier and reduces the client's misclassification risk. Its specialists manage the legal agreements, and contractors are paid by bank transfer or crypto. Onboarding takes 2-3 days once the Master Service Agreement is signed. It costs $400 a month, and ending a contract takes 30 days' written notice.
Is Multiplier's support available 24/7?
The sources disagree. The EOR, enterprise and mid-size pages say 24/7, and the pricing page counts 24x7 dedicated customer support, without saying who answers. The plan lists on the same pricing page say 24/5, staffed by its local HR and legal experts. Ask Multiplier to write the hours into the contract.
