Global employment platforms compared: prices and price hikes
Employer-of-record and global payroll platforms that legally hire people in other countries for you, plus contractor payment tools for paying freelancers abroad, compared on the monthly platform cost of one employee hired in Germany.
Prices at one employee hired in Germany
- Multiplier: $400/mo
- Deel: $599/mo · last hike Mar 2026
- Remote: $699/mo · last hike Jan 2026
Prices are USD per month on monthly billing (annual-only plans divided by 12): the recurring employer-of-record fee for one employee in Germany, and the recurring fee to pay ten contractors abroad, with any percentage fee applied to a USD 5,000 monthly salary or USD 40,000 of monthly payments. Salaries, employer taxes, benefits, setup fees and card surcharges are left out, so the figures are platform costs rather than total cost of employment.
