Every provider we score for global payroll, ordered by our payroll score and filterable by price.
How to read this list
Each card shows our global payroll score out of 10, the global payroll price as the provider publishes it, and the countries it lists for global payroll.
The default order is our global payroll score, highest first; equal scores go by name. The score uses only our five criteria. Review-platform ratings are shown on the cards but are not part of it. How we score
Filters and sorting change which cards you see and their order, not the scores.

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

Top pro
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

Payroll needs your own entity. Global payroll runs pay for employees you employ through your own entities. Without an entity in the country, see Employer of Record.
Many quote on request. Payroll is often priced per case; the price sort puts providers without a "from" price last.
Check what the price covers. Each provider page lists what its payroll plan includes.
