Playroll vs Native Teams FAQs

What are the main differences between Native Teams and Playroll?

Native Teams and Playroll both provide Employer of Record and Contractor solutions, along with additional services like benefits administration and visa support.

However, there are key differences between Native Teams and Playroll when it comes to the transparency of fees involved, the country coverage offered, and their focus on compliance.

Native Teams applies extra charges for several features, which can make it challenging to budget for total costs. In contrast, Playroll offers clear, all-inclusive pricing with no hidden fees. While Native Teams supports just over 80 countries, Playroll covers more than 180, offering broader support for globally distributed teams.

Customer support is another important differentiator. Native Teams has faced criticism for delayed responses and communication issues. In contrast, Playroll offers dedicated support to both employers and employees at no extra cost, and is well known for their excellent response times.

What kind of customer support does Playroll offer compared to Native Teams?

Playroll prioritizes direct, human support for both employees and employers. You'll have a single, dedicated point of contact for assistance with employment law, benefits, and compliance.

On the other hand, Native Teams has received negative user feedback on slow response times and having to deal with multiple points of contact, which means it can take longer to solve time-sensitive issues.

How do I pick the best EOR provider for my business?

To choose the best EOR provider for your business, look for a partner with deep experience navigating local employment, tax, social security, benefits, and data privacy laws. The ideal provider should offer transparent pricing, an intuitive platform, and reliable customer support.

Playroll meets all these criteria, with a proven track record in compliance and dedicated support for both employees and employers. Unlike legacy providers, Playroll was designed to solve common industry challenges – such as high costs and overly complex systems – making global employment simpler and more affordable.
