Read review (Pebl)RemoFirst sells Employer of Record plus contractor management. Its pricing page starts EOR at $199 per person a month and puts contractors on a free tier or a $25 Premium tier, with no setup, onboarding or termination fees and no annual contract. It claims EOR in 185+ countries and says it has SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001, subject to scope and validity periods it does not publish.
Verdict
Best for
- Companies making their first hire abroad, the case RemoFirst's startup page is written for
- Teams adding countries one after another under the same onboarding process, as its mid-market page puts it
- Businesses that mostly work with contractors and want contracts and onboarding on a free tier
- Companies moving contractors onto EOR employment within one platform
Not for
- Buyers who need RemoFirst's EOR contract in writing before any demo or quote
- Teams that need a documented API to connect their own HR or finance systems
- Companies looking for a Contractor of Record: RemoFirst's pricing lists none
- Stands out
- Price. Of 20 other dollar-priced EOR offers, 16 start above RemoFirst's $199 per person a month, and the pricing FAQ rules out setup, onboarding and termination fees, annual contracts and minimums.
- Biggest limit
- Little is published to check. The platform Terms of Use are the only public legal document, no API is documented, and the site gives support hours as both 24/7 and 24/5.

Questions people ask
How many countries does RemoFirst cover?
RemoFirst claims Employer of Record in 185+ countries and locally compliant contractor contracts in 150+. We list 124 EOR countries one by one. Who employs your staff is not stated per country: the EOR page says RemoFirst uses its own local entities or exclusive partners, the pricing FAQ says it works only with in-country partners.
How much does RemoFirst cost?
The pricing page gives EOR from $199 per person a month, a free contractor tier and a Premium contractor tier at $25 per person a month, billed for actively paid contractors. Its FAQ states no setup, onboarding or termination fees, no annual contracts and no minimums. Add-ons cost extra, separate from the EOR price: visas and work permits, health insurance from $55 per person a month, equipment, equity management and background checks (remofirst.com/pricing, checked 2026-10-15).
Does RemoFirst offer Contractor of Record?
Not as a listed service. The pricing page sells EOR and two contractor-management tiers, and the compliance page talks about reducing misclassification risk for contractors. We score RemoFirst on EOR and contractor management only.
How fast can RemoFirst onboard employees?
In most locations in 1 to 3 days once all documents are received and employment contracts are approved, RemoFirst says; timing varies with location and with cases such as expats and visas. This is its own estimate, not a service level (remofirst.com, checked 2026-10-15).
Which company is RemoFirst?
RemoFirst Inc., a Delaware corporation (no. 3882563), registered in the UK as an overseas company (FC041174) at Companies House. Its privacy policy gives its principal office as 425 1st Street, San Francisco.
