Skuad, now presented as Payoneer Workforce Management, has the lowest published EOR price we found: $199 per employee per month, with bigger discounts as you onboard more people. The plan includes local employment agreements, personalized onboarding support, payroll in 70+ currencies, labor law and tax compliance, benefits administration options, dedicated account managers, help center access and a unified dashboard with third-party integrations. Skuad says it can employ full-time staff in 160+ countries. For contractors it offers an Agent of Record plan from $99 and a payments-only tool from $19 per contractor per month. The trade-off is the model: Skuad's FAQ says it uses local partners and entities, while Remote, Atlas and Multiplier stress owned entities, which some buyers prefer for accountability. Currency coverage is also narrower than rivals. For a team hiring a few people on a tight budget, the price gap is large enough to justify a quote.
