Best for
- enterprises weighting analyst recognition and certification depth heavily
- buyers wanting the longest operating history in the EOR category
- teams standardized on Workday, SAP, ADP, UKG or BambooHR needing native sync
Not ideal for
- price-sensitive SMBs, since effective per-employee cost runs high with payroll/benefits
- buyers needing a true Contractor of Record, not payment/classification tooling
- buyers needing a firm owned-vs-partner entity answer before signing
Reviewed: 2026-09-30
Our verdict
The oldest, most analyst-recognized EOR (founded 2012) — deepest certification stack and widest documented country footprint, but no owned-entity disclosure or dedicated Contractor of Record product.
- Standout feature
- Longest track record in the category plus repeat analyst 'global leader' recognition (NelsonHall, HRTA) and the widest certification stack checked (SOC 2 + four ISO/IEC standards + GDPR).
- Biggest limitation
- No published owned-entity count or country-by-country ownership breakdown, and no dedicated Contractor-of-Record product — 'G-P Contractor' is self-serve classification and payment tooling, not a party-to-the-contract COR.
Key facts
| Countries covered | 180+ 'Hire in 180+ Countries' stated sitewide; the vendor's own Globalpedia EOR index (see countryCoverage) documents 156. · source |
|---|---|
| Entity model | — G-P does not publish an aggregate owned-vs-partner entity count. Several Globalpedia country pages use first-person 'through our legal entities' wording (Canada, Germany, US, UK) and per-country research turned up G-P-named registered entities in the UK (Companies House 08799489), Netherlands (KvK 68050879), Spain (NIF B87911764), India (CIN U74999MP2017FTC059224) and Singapore (UEN 201540111M / 202037180N) — but other Globalpedia pages (Philippines, UAE, Singapore) make no first-person ownership claim at all. G-P's about-us page separately states '200+ global partners', but that figure sits under its co-sell/referral Partner Program (globalization-partners.com/become-a-partner/), not its EOR employing-entity structure — the two should not be conflated. Third-party reviews (e.g. whichpayroll.com) estimate 'at least 100 wholly owned entities' against 180+ countries covered, but this is not a vendor-published figure, so no ownedCount/partnerCount is recorded here. · source |
| Onboarding time | Vendor claim: 'hire anywhere in minutes'; no SLA published 'Move from offer to onboarding 87% faster with a self-service AI'; 'Go from offer to compliant onboarding in minutes.' No specific day/hour figure given. · source |
| Payroll markets | — |
| Currencies | 130+ '130+currencies supported' on the G-P Contractor page. Figures conflict across G-P's own site: the EOR solutions page separately cites '150+ currencies' for payroll, and the Global Payroll page cites 'Make payments in 50+ currencies... via a digital wallet, ACH, bank transfer, wire transfer, or credit/debit card' (its Wise-powered rail). Recorded the contractor-payments figure as most relevant here; treat as approximate. · source |
| Integrations | — Names verified directly on the page; the page gives no single total-count figure for its integrations. · source |
| Security & compliance | SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, ISO/IEC 27017, ISO/IEC 27018, ISO/IEC 42001, GDPR 'We hold certifications for ISO/IEC 27001 (Information Security), ISO/IEC 27017 (Cloud Security), ISO/IEC 27018 (Cloud Privacy), and ISO/IEC 42001 (Artificial Intelligence Management).' Page also states G-P 'has been certified and attested to confirm compliance with SOC 2 standards' and runs a GDPR compliance program. · source |

EOR price is a flat platform fee; final cost still includes local payroll, statutory benefits and taxes on top. G-P publishes this same USD 599/employee/month figure across every country page checked (Canada, Germany, Spain, UK, US, Singapore) rather than country-specific rates. globalization-partners.com/pricing, checked 2026-09-30.
What it costs at your volume
One basket for all of them: 10 contractors at $3,000 a month, so $30,000 of payouts a month. A percentage of volume and a per-seat fee cannot be compared any other way.
G-P (Globalization Partners): $390 a month, $4,680 a year. Cheaper at this volume: Multiplier ($40), Remote ($290).
| Platform | How it charges | Per month | Per year | Published price |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| flat monthly | $40 | $480 | Starting at $40 per month | |
| per contractor | $290 | $3,480 | $29/mo per contractor | |
| per contractor | $390 | $4,680 | From $39/mo per contractor | |
| per contractor | $490 | $5,880 | from $49/mo per contractor |
Pros
- Founded 2012 — the longest track record among EOR vendors reviewed so far
- Broadest certification stack checked: SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001, 27017, 27018, 42001, GDPR
- 156 countries with a dedicated Globalpedia EOR guide; flat $599/employee/month fee confirmed across sampled countries
- Strong third-party review scores: 4.5/5 on Capterra, 4.3/5 on Trustpilot

Cons
- No published owned-vs-partner entity count; some Globalpedia pages make no ownership claim, so confirm per country
- G-P Contractor is classification/payment tooling, not a true Contractor of Record — read the contract before relying on it
- Reviewers on Capterra/G2 repeatedly flag ticket-only support with no direct escalation phone line
- Currency-coverage claims conflict across G-P's own pages: 130+, 150+ and 50+ depending on the product
- No onboarding-time SLA published — only marketing language ('in minutes', '87% faster')

In-depth review
G-P (Globalization Partners) is a Boston-based global employment platform founded in 2012, the oldest and most analyst-recognized name in the Employer of Record category. It documents EOR coverage for 156 countries at a flat USD 599 per employee/month platform fee, backed by SOC 2, ISO/IEC 27001/27017/27018 and GDPR certifications. A separate G-P Contractor product handles contractor payments and classification checks, but isn’t a dedicated Contractor of Record — and G-P doesn’t publish how many of its country entities it owns versus books through partners.
Frequently asked questions
How many countries does G-P cover?
G-P markets '180+ countries' sitewide; its own Globalpedia index of per-country EOR guides documents 156 as of this check (globalization-partners.com, checked 2026-09-30).
How much does G-P EOR cost?
G-P publishes a flat USD 599 per employee/month platform fee, confirmed on every country page sampled (Canada, Germany, Spain, UK, US, Singapore); local payroll, statutory benefits and taxes are additional (globalization-partners.com/pricing, checked 2026-09-30).
Does G-P use its own legal entities?
G-P doesn't publish an aggregate owned-vs-partner entity count. Several country pages (Canada, Germany, US, UK) state G-P operates 'through our legal entities', and G-P-named registered entities were confirmed in the UK, Netherlands, Spain, India and Singapore — but other country pages (e.g. Philippines, UAE) make no ownership claim at all, so confirm the model for your specific country before signing (checked 2026-09-30).
What's the difference between G-P EOR and G-P Contractor?
G-P EOR makes G-P the legal employer for full-time hires in a given country. G-P Contractor is a separate, self-serve product for engaging and paying independent contractors — it includes classification checks and invoicing, but is not a Contractor of Record — G-P doesn't become the contractor's contracting party; G-P does not use that label for it (globalization-partners.com/contractor/, checked 2026-09-30).
