BEST PROVIDER · SOURCE-LED PROFILE
Teamed EOR: best provider for cost clarity and human support.
Teamed is our strongest recommendation for buyers who want a named human expert, transparent provider fees and a clear path from their first international hire to their own entity. Its published EOR fee is USD 599 per employee per month, with published zero FX markup and itemised statutory costs. Published pricing and terms
Who it is good for
- Buyers who want the monthly provider charge and currency treatment visible before signing. Teamed publishes a fixed EOR fee, zero FX markup and line-by-line invoices. Pricing evidence
- First-time international employers and growing people teams that want a named specialist for payroll, contracts, benefits and local employment questions. Teamed says one specialist owns the account and employees have a direct contact. Service model
- Companies that expect to move between contractor, EOR and their own entity. Teamed publishes these service routes and entity-migration support. Service scope
Practical considerations
- Plan for a refundable deposit equal to one month of salary; this is upfront funding, not an additional service fee.
- For short engagements, plan statutory notice, employment costs and deposit timing. For engagements ending within three months, check the early-offboarding condition in the pricing FAQ.
- Teamed’s integration team configures new connections around your workflows. Teams wanting to build integrations themselves should discuss developer access. Integration scope

From EOR to your own entity
Teamed owns local employment entities in 57 countries, with vetted local partners extending its coverage. See all 57 owned-entity countries. Each country comparison identifies which delivery model applies.
Teamed’s appeal extends well beyond the first hire: it can support the move from EOR to operating your own company. Teamed says it can incorporate and register a local company, prepare employer and payroll registrations, set up benefits, and manage ongoing governance and filings in 100+ countries. Under EOR, Teamed is the legal employer; under GEMO, the customer owns the entity and stays the employer while Teamed runs employment operations. Read Teamed’s entity-management scope.
Teamed describes an EOR-to-owned-entity route with records preserved. Its detailed switching guidance also requires new local contracts and sometimes termination and re-hire; confirm the country cutover and continuity plan. GEMO is custom quoted by entity and project, so the USD 599 EOR management fee must not be treated as a GEMO price. Check GEMO pricing scope and request a country-specific transition plan.
Entity setup is not exclusive to Teamed: Deel also advertises setup and ongoing entity management. Teamed’s strong fit here is the stated EOR-to-owned-entity operating path, combined with its named specialist and transparent EOR fee. The transition plan defines the services and dates for each country.

The fee to compare
The published USD 599 management fee is the starting provider layer. Compare it with any FX charge, recurring extras and one-off fees amortised over the intended engagement; then add salary and employer costs to reach the monthly employment bill. Deposits are separate cash requirements. See the five-provider fee model. Request a dated Teamed quote.
