What an employer of record (EOR) charges per employee
11 of the 14 EOR providers we checked publish a price. 3 do not.
The published range runs from $99 to $699 per employee per month for the same nominal service. The fee is flat, so it is a far larger share of a $30,000 salary than of a $120,000 one.

What each price actually includes
Native Teams. $19 figure is 'Contractor Pay' (payments only); Contractor of Record (fully managed, with misclassification protection) is $99/contractor/month.
RemoFirst. Basic contractor management tier is free; $25/mo is the Premium tier with automated invoicing/payments. Optional RemoHealth insurance add-on from $55/person/mo.
Skuad. $19 figure is Contractor Management System (CMS); separate Agent of Record (AOR, fully managed contractor) is $99/contractor/month.
Horizons. Horizons has rebranded to 'RemotePeople' (remotepeople.com; joinhorizons.com no longer resolves to the brand's own site). Contractor of Record (fully managed) is $199/contractor/month; the $29 figure is Contractor Management.
Playroll. Contractor management is a flat $35/month fee (not per-contractor) per playroll.com/contractor-management.
Multiplier. $40 figure is Contractor Management; separate Contractor of Record (fully managed) is $400/contractor/month. Enterprise EOR tier is custom-quoted.
Deel. Contractor of Record (fully-managed) also offered from $325/contractor/month.
Atlas. Agent of Record (contractor) service exists but no price is published on the pricing page.
Papaya Global. The $2/contractor/mo figure is the published 'starting from' contractor management base rate per Papaya's own pricing page; likely excludes payment/FX fees.
Remote. Contractor Management Plus tier is $99/contractor/month with added indemnity; Contractor of Record from $325/contractor/month.
Oyster HR. Refundable deposit required for EOR employees; contractor price is after a 30-day free trial.
Rippling EOR. Only the base Rippling Unity platform price ($8/user/mo) is published; EOR/global employment section states 'Tell us which services you'd like to use and we'll send a custom quote' -- no per-employee EOR figure disclosed.
Velocity Global. Velocity Global has rebranded to 'Pebl' (hellopebl.com). Site states a flat per-employee monthly fee model exists but directs all inquiries to a custom quote; no USD figures published.
Globalization Partners (G-P). g-p.com/pricing and globalization-partners.com/pricing both return 404; no published pricing page found -- G-P uses custom quotes only (Meridian Core/Prime plan pricing not public).
The part the price does not cover
None of these fees include the statutory employer contributions on the country pages. Those are invoiced on top, at cost, and in most countries they are the larger number. A $599 monthly fee on a $70,000 salary is about 10% of the salary; the statutory load in France is nearly four times that.
Two providers on this list have renamed themselves. Horizons now trades as RemotePeople, and Velocity Global now trades as Pebl. Old links redirect, so a quote you were given under the previous name may not match the page you find today.

The ordering in the price table above is by published price, ascending, and nothing else. The payouts in the second table are large enough that you should assume every comparison site in this category is influenced by them — which is why we put them next to the prices instead of on a page nobody reads. See the disclosure page.
