EOR Provider Comparisons: FAQs

Whether the provider owns its legal entity directly in the countries you're hiring in, or relies on third-party in-country partners. Directly-owned entities (like Remote's model in most of its countries) generally mean faster onboarding and fewer intermediary layers; partner-based coverage can still be compliant but adds a step. Beyond that, the biggest differentiator is scope: broad general-purpose platforms (Deel, Remote) optimize for wide country coverage, while specialized partners (like Remvix for India) optimize for depth and combined delivery capability in one specific market.

Published EOR pricing generally runs $599-$899/employee/month at major providers (Deel: $599 standard/$899 enterprise; Remote: $699), but the management fee is only one piece - the employee's salary and country-specific statutory employer costs are separate and vary significantly. Providers that don't publish pricing at all (quote-only) aren't necessarily more expensive, but they do make early-stage cost comparison harder.

When the goal is building and running an actual team in one specific country - not just achieving compliant employment somewhere. A specialized partner combining EOR with delivery capability (like Remvix for India-based engineering teams) removes a coordination step that a general-purpose platform, which typically stops at compliant employment and payroll, doesn't address on its own.
