In-Depth Pricing
Playroll's pricing is fixed and straightforward, with all service fees clear and transparent from the outset. You can hire full-time employees for just $399/month or contractors at $35/month in 180+ supported regions, and global payroll management costs $2.07/month per employee. Robust compliance, payroll and statutory benefits are taken care of as part of our fixed pricing. Enjoy dedicated support for both employers and employees, at no extra cost.
RemoFirst's pricing starts at $199/month for full-time employees and $25/month for contractors. However, unlike Playroll, RemoFirst doesn't include dedicated support for employees in its fixed pricing. They are also fully reliant on third-party vendors for key services, which can bring unexpected hidden fees that are passed on from other parties – and it affects the quality of support and compliance included with their pricing.

Employer of Record Capabilities
With a presence in over 180 countries and a vast network of owned entities, Playroll seamlessly handles localized payroll, benefits, taxes, and compliance for your team, wherever they are. Our wide network of owned entities, backed by the VAT IT Group with 25+ years of tax and legal expertise, guarantees compliance and direct support for employers worldwide.
In contrast, RemoFirst depends entirely on third-party vendors for the regions it serves. This reliance puts your data at risk, as it must be shared with multiple third parties to provide services. Additionally, delays in communication are common, as the EOR provider must coordinate with external partners every time.
