How our EOR evidence works.
Provider terms, country offers and buyer accounts, with dated sources.
Answers distinguish provider-published terms, editorial confirmations and estimates. Source links and check dates let you inspect the basis.
Concise comparisons with matching downloadable data and clear calculation assumptions.
What the scores mean
Country comparison pages show the publisher’s six-criterion final global workbook scores: cost, support, contract terms, payroll, local delivery and FX/cost transparency, with the supplied adjusted total preserved. Where a criterion is missing, we preserve the recorded total, show the scored-criterion count and label the missing value as not scored. Missing is not zero. Scores describe the provider globally, not tested local performance. Country research supplies the local offer details and sources. The same final workbook scores also apply to the South Africa ten-provider review.
What the fees mean
Monthly management fee means the recurring service charge. Estimated real-world monthly provider fee adds applicable FX, provider extras and amortised one-off provider charges. Monthly employment bill adds pass-through employment costs; refundable deposits are separate cash requirements. Unknown inputs remain unknown. The Teamed–Deel worked example is an expert planning model.
Buyer accounts
Public reviews are attributed to their platforms. Internal annotations retain product scope, country when known, incentives, favourable points, concerns, provider reply and outcome. Private-community accounts are added only with accurate provenance and publication permission. Simulated conversations do not affect scores.

Freshness and limits
This site is a static snapshot dated 26 September 2026. Sources and selected records must be refreshed before making time-sensitive buying decisions. Published provider terms are not a country quote; local delivery quality and invoice totals require additional checks.
