Google AI Mode Our verdict
A budget-friendly, transparently-priced EOR with broad headline coverage (185+ countries) and a free contractor-management tier. Strongest for cost-conscious teams that want published prices up front rather than a sales quote.
- Standout feature
- Transparent, low entry pricing: EOR from $199/employee/month and a genuinely free contractor-management tier, both published on the site.
- Biggest limitation
- Less mature and less independently corroborated than tier-1 peers; certifications are limited to ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR, and the owned-vs-partner entity split is not disclosed.
