Atlas HXM builds its pitch around what it calls a direct EOR model: it employs workers through legal entities it owns and operates in 160+ countries rather than through partner firms. The EOR plan starts at $599 per employee per month, with volume pricing for larger multi-country teams, and covers payroll, tax and compliance, country-specific guidance and an employee self-service app. Listed benefits include healthcare, dental, vision, mental health, travel and 401(k) where available. Visa sponsorship and relocation in 75+ countries is offered as an add-on. For contractors, the Agent of Record plan costs $199 per contractor per month with 12-month classification protection up to $100,000 and monthly, cancel-anytime billing. Atlas describes its service as white-glove, which suits companies that want a named contact. It lands mid-table because its starting price equals Deel and Remote while its software range is narrower.
