Types of AI employer of record services
Platforms with printed per-person prices
Remote, Deel, Pebl, Playroll, Rivermate, RemoFirst and Oyster show a monthly figure per employee on their pricing pages. The numbers range widely, from $199 to $699 for the entry employment product, so compare what each fee covers and what stays extra before you choose between them.
Quote-only enterprise providers
G-P, Papaya Global and Safeguard Global publish no amounts on the pages we read and send buyers to a sales contact. They tend to talk about large multi-country programs, entity setup and managed services rather than a single remote hire, so expect a conversation before any number.
Payroll-first providers that also employ
Lano starts from payroll consolidation at EUR 3 per employee and adds multi-country payroll and employment on top. Papaya Global also leads with payroll. These suit companies with entities already in place that want to employ abroad only occasionally, not those starting from zero.
Employment bundled with recruiting or visas
RemotePeople pairs employment with recruiting, Atlas HXM sells visa sponsorship as an add-on, and Rivermate lists visa support as its own product. Buyers who need a candidate, a work permit and a payroll in one engagement get less handoff friction here.
