Attracting and retaining talent for your team is an extra challenge when you’re operating in new markets. Your chosen global HR partner should act as an extension of your team. If you have to wait days to get an answer, your promising hire might have moved on already.
Playroll’s legal, finance, HR and support experts are available to advise on everything from payroll and local benefits, to setting up compliant contracts. We are also flexible when it comes to amending employee contracts, with quick turnaround times compared to other EOR providers.
At Playroll, employers and employees alike have dedicated support managers available at no extra cost, to give you personalized service.
Many EOR providers charge extra for everything beyond their core service offerings, such as dedicated customer support, or to provide localized benefits packages. Often, there are also hidden fees at stake that you’ll discover only when it’s time to pay the bill. Check what’s included in their pricing, so you avoid having to pay additional service providers for the basics. Playroll has built-in compliance, dedicated support and benefits management included as part of our fixed pricing, with no hidden fees.
Your chosen EOR provider’s country coverage should be wide enough to meet your current needs, as well as any future goals to scale your business – you don’t want to be limited in where you can hire. At Playroll, we have wide global coverage of 180+ countries to help businesses scale, with a large network of wholly owned entities. We can help you compliantly hire full-time employees and contractors alike in all our supported regions.
What happens if you want to move an employee that is employed by an EOR to one of your own entities? Most EOR providers are inflexible when it comes to this, and require a ‘resign and rehire’ approach – vastly complicating your relationships with employees and risking them permanently leaving your team. At Playroll, we mean it when we say we care first and foremost about people. This includes supporting the transfer of employment arrangements to client entities.
When it comes to your sensitive data, you should be diligent to check how an EOR provider handles the set up of your employee contracts. Many EOR providers can be lax in ensuring that your IP and invention rights belong to you, especially if they mostly rely on third parties to set up employee contracts. At Playroll, we take IP protection seriously and mitigate this risk. All our clients own their IP and protection rights, with guaranteed compliant contracts.

Let's ChatPlayroll’s pricing is fixed and straightforward, with all service fees clear and transparent from the outset. You can hire full-time employees for $399/month or contractors at $35/month in 180+ supported regions. Compliance, benefits, payroll and your employer taxes are taken care of as part of our fixed pricing. You also gain dedicated support for both employers and employees, at no extra cost.
Native Team’s pricing starts from 99/month, per employee. This seems attractive at first, but it’s important to consider the extra costs that come into play. Several key features, such as premium customer support and additional admin seats, are priced as add-ons. This means as your business grows, you might find yourself paying a higher monthly fee than you initially bargained for.

Playroll provides a strong support system, including a dedicated customer support manager for employers and employees alike, with experts on compensation, local benefits, and immigration. This guarantees personalized and comprehensive support for your business and employees. Access to dedicated support comes at no extra cost.
Native Team also offers support for employers and employees. However, public reviews report slow response times and challenges with communication. To access faster response times, clients must opt for a premium add-on.
With a footprint in 180+ countries and a large network of owned entities, Playroll takes care of localized payroll, benefits, taxes, and compliance for your team, no matter where they are. Additionally, Playroll offers assistance with visas and immigration, ensuring smooth operations for your global team.
Native Teams operates in just over 80 countries, which may limit your scalability. If you aim to expand into regions outside of Native Team’s coverage, you might need to switch providers or rely on multiple EOR services. For businesses with ambitious growth plans, it helps to choose a EOR provider with more extensive reach.
Playroll’s contractor management platform provides seamless invoice management and payment processing for $35 per contractor per month, across more than 180 countries. Our platform enables contractors to easily submit invoices for approval and receive payments in their local currency.
In addition, Playroll delivers comprehensive compliance support, assisting businesses with compliant contractor agreements, offering free misclassification audits, safeguarding intellectual property rights, and providing assistance with contractor conversions to full-time employment when needed to mitigate misclassification risks.
While Native Teams specializes in contractor payments, they do not offer the same level of compliance support or disclose their capabilities around managing misclassification risks. Additionally, Native Teams does not reveal the number of regions they cover with contractor management services.
For global companies that value compliance, Playroll offers a more complete solution with both efficient contractor payments and robust compliance management.

FAQS
Native Teams is primarily a work payments platform to manage payroll and local compliance for your employees and contractors. It also offer Employer of Record services, and can assist with employee relocations in some countries.
Global HR Solutions have become an increasingly popular solution for businesses that want to scale their workforce without having to handle the legal and administrative burdens themselves.
There are many Native Teams alternatives on the market, including:
Papaya Global
Papaya Global is especially well-known for its global payroll technology, which covers a broad range of countries. However, Papaya relies entirely on third party partners as part of many of its services, including its EOR service.
Velocity Global
Velocity Global specializes in Employer Of Record services with broad country coverage. However, they have received many negative reviews for slow customer service. They do not disclose their pricing but public reviews report high monthly fees.
Playroll
Playroll is best-known for its Employer of Record and Contractor Management solutions, and excels in its customer support, ease of adoption, competitive pricing and built-in compliance. It also offers comprehensive Global Payroll Management services.
While Native Teams offers a variety of products, you may want to consider an alternative if prompt, human-centric customer service and extensive country coverage for EOR services are priorities for your business.
When you’re partnering with an EOR provider to build a global team, quick and reliable support for your entire team can be critical to your success. If customer support is a key focus, you may need an alternative to Native Teams, as they have received feedback regarding slow response times and communication issues. Additionally, their global footprint is limited to just over 80 countries, which may restrict your ability to scale globally with a single partner.
Playroll, on the other hand, offers a proven Global HR Solution, renowned for exceptional customer support with rapid response times and a global presence across 180+ regions, backed by a robust network of owned entities.
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 contract, Playroll offers dedicated support to both employers and employees at no extra cost, and is well known for their excellent response times.
Each Playroll customer has dedicated support so you can hit the ground running.
