EOR Services Comparison

Broadest EOR footprint here (130+) and the widest payment flexibility including crypto. Mix of owned and partner entities — verify the specific country. The in-house payroll engine covers 50+ countries, well short of the 150+ Deel markets payroll across, so ask which side of that line your country falls on. Standard Order Forms carry no minimum spend, but Committed Order Forms — the discounted path — do commit you to a fixed term. Deel IT for equipment management.

Broad contractor reach (180+ countries, 120+ currencies), though its EOR footprint is 120+ — behind Deel. Contractors are free for 30 days, then $29/month; there is no free-forever tier. Oyster does not publish how its payroll is run, unlike Deel and Remote, which both advertise in-house infrastructure. Contractor IP assignment is scoped to 30 countries, and API access is a paid add-on rather than open. Oyster Shell ($49/contractor/month) is the named misclassification protection, capped at $50K per claim and $500K aggregate. Oyster Connect for equipment.

Only platform using 100% owned entities — no third-party partners, and it owns its payroll too, which is the substantive difference here. Fewest EOR countries (90+) but the deepest coverage in each. EOR is $599/employee/month only if you prepay annually; the monthly default is $699. Equity is a paid add-on (Remote Equity, from $39/mo), not bundled. No minimum term, but exiting takes 30 days' notice. Contractor-to-employee conversion is supported but manual — Remote documents a re-onboarding sequence, not a one-click switch.
