Remofirst Pricing

Remofirst charges $199/employee/month for EOR. That is the lowest published rate in the market by a wide margin, and it is genuinely what you will pay as a platform fee.

No company-size tiers and no hidden qualifiers, though a few higher-cost countries can sit above the $199 floor.

The catch is not that the price is misleading. It is that the platform fee is a small fraction of your total cost.

Your actual monthly outlay per employee will be $199 plus gross salary, employer taxes and social contributions (15-45% of salary depending on country), plus a currency-conversion cost on every payroll cycle where your funding currency differs from the payout currency.

The $199 is roughly 2-3% of what your Finance team will actually reconcile for a mid-salary European hire.

We verified every published cost component and modelled scenarios against the six other providers in our assessment.

This page gives you the full cost picture so you can build a business case your CFO will not send back with questions.

What does Remofirst charge?

Remofirst publishes two core products with flat, transparent pricing. The EOR fee starts at $199/employee/month across 185+ countries, flat regardless of company size, though a few higher-cost countries can run above the $199 floor.

Contractor management starts free for documentation and onboarding, then $25/contractor/month for payment processing across 150+ countries.

Remofirst lists the $199 rate as flat, with no size-based tiers; any volume discount for larger teams is by negotiation rather than published.

Source: Remofirst's own pricing page (remofirst.com/price), read 6 August 2026. Remofirst publishes a flat $199 rate; any volume discount is negotiated, not published.

The headline rate is not a bait-and-switch. There are no tiers, no “starting from” qualifiers, and no per-payroll-run charges.

If you are comparing providers on a spreadsheet, Remofirst’s line item will be the simplest to model.

For larger teams, ask about a negotiated rate; Remofirst does not publish a volume schedule, but even at the flat $199 it sits roughly two-thirds below Deel pricing’s published $599 EOR rate.

What does the Remofirst fee include?

The $199 EOR fee covers employment contracts, payroll processing and salary disbursement, tax withholding and filing, statutory benefits administration, leave management, basic HRIS access, and ongoing compliance monitoring.

Remofirst also includes 24/5 support and local expertise guidance at no additional charge.

That is a narrower inclusion set than premium providers. Deel bundles free HRIS for up to 200 employees, IT device management, performance tools, and 24/7 support into its $599 fee.

Remote includes 100% owned-entity assurance in its $699 fee, and $699 is the only EOR rate it publishes. We carried a $599 annual rate until June 2026; Remote’s pricing page no longer displays it and offers no annual billing option at all, so budget the $699 and get any discount a salesperson offers you in writing.

What Remofirst does not include at any price: a full HRIS platform, IT management, performance management, or advanced reporting.

The BambooHR integration helps if you already have an HRIS, but if you need an all-in-one platform, you are paying $199 for EOR and buying the rest separately.

You save $400/month per employee versus Deel and $500 against Remote, and you get a focused hiring-and-paying service.

The savings are real. So is the narrower scope. Your decision depends on whether you need the broader platform or whether EOR and contractor payments are genuinely all you require.

What costs sit on top of Remofirst?

The gap between the $199 platform fee and your actual invoice is where procurement conversations get honest. Every cost below is real and recurring.

Employer taxes and social contributions. These are government-mandated, not Remofirst charges, but they are the largest variable. In Germany, employer contributions add roughly 21.3% on top of gross salary, the employer share only.

The 40% you will see quoted is the combined employer and employee rate.

In France, about 45%. In India, closer to 13%.

Your first invoice will include these. If Finance has not budgeted for them, the conversation will be uncomfortable.

A refundable security deposit. Remofirst holds a refundable deposit on each EOR employee. The amount is set per hire and confirmed at quote, not published, so get it in writing before you model cash flow.

A deposit is standard across the market, but the disclosure is not. Deel publishes a formula of one to one and a half times the fully loaded monthly cost per hire, and Oyster’s terms set roughly one month of total employment cost. Papaya Global publishes no deposit figure at all, and neither does Remofirst, so do not assume Remofirst’s is materially smaller than the two you can actually read.

Whatever the figure, it is refundable and returned after offboarding, so model it as working capital tied up for the life of each engagement rather than a sunk cost.

For a 10-person team that can be a meaningful sum locked up, so it is a line your treasurer will want quantified before sign-off.

Currency conversion. Remofirst converts currency when your funding currency differs from the local payout currency. It does not publish the margin it adds over the mid-market rate, so ask for the rate methodology at quote.

The cost is easy to underestimate: even a 1% margin on $1.4 million of annual salary disbursements is $14,000, and it will not appear on any pricing page.

It becomes visible when someone in Finance runs the reconciliation.

Health insurance. RemoHealth starts at $55/person/month for medical, dental, and vision. This is optional, but if your employees expect private health coverage, budget for it.

Statutory health coverage in countries that mandate it is handled through employer contributions, not through this add-on.

Visa and immigration. Custom-quoted per case, available in 110+ countries. Budget $2,000-$8,000 per case depending on the destination country and visa category.

This is standard across all EOR providers; none include it in the base fee.

No setup fees, no offboarding fees, no minimum contracts. Remofirst does not charge for onboarding, does not charge termination fees, and does not require a minimum employee count or contract length.

That is a cleaner cost structure than most competitors and means your switching costs are genuinely low if the service does not meet expectations.

How does Remofirst compare on price?

At $199/month, Remofirst is the lowest-priced EOR in our assessment by a significant margin. The next cheapest published rate is Pebl, formerly Velocity Global, at $399/month, then Multiplier at $459 on annual billing, Papaya Global from $499 and Deel at $599, with Oyster and Remote together at the top on $699.

The platform-fee gap, not the deposit, is what compounds the savings. Remofirst holds a refundable deposit and so do Deel, Oyster and Multiplier, so deposit-free treatment is not part of its advantage; Remote is the one provider here that charges none as standard.

Source: Remofirst and Remote figures read from their own pricing pages on 6 August 2026. Deel, Multiplier, Oyster, Papaya Global and Pebl figures come from our own provider reviews, each checked against the provider's own pages between 31 July and 5 August 2026. All prices exclude employer taxes, salary, and FX costs.

For a team of 20 employees, choosing Remofirst over Deel saves approximately $96,000 per year in platform fees alone. The deposit is not part of that gap, both providers hold one, so treat the $96,000 platform-fee saving as the real, defensible number.

Those are the numbers your procurement team will put on the comparison slide.

The savings come with clear trade-offs. Remofirst uses a 100% partner-based entity model, which means wider country reach (185+) but less direct control over the compliance chain.

The platform is narrower: no bundled HRIS, no IT management, no performance tools.

Support is 24/5 rather than 24/7. The company was founded in 2021, giving it less operational track record than established providers.

Is Remofirst worth the cost?

Remofirst is worth the cost when your primary need is hiring and paying international employees without overpaying for platform features you will not use.

If you are hiring in 5-15 countries and your CFO is asking why the EOR line item is $599/month when the job is payroll and compliance, Remofirst answers that question directly.

The savings over a three-year contract with 20 employees add up to roughly $288,000 in platform fees versus Deel.

Remofirst is not worth the cost when your needs go beyond basic EOR.

If you need deep compliance support in complex jurisdictions like Germany, France, or Brazil, the partner-based model may not give your Legal team the assurance they need.

If you need an all-in-one platform with HRIS, performance management, and IT provisioning, you will pay $199 to Remofirst and then pay separately for everything else.

That stack cost can exceed what Deel charges for the bundle.

If EOR and contractor payments are genuinely all you need, Remofirst is the cost leader and the savings are too significant to ignore.

If you need platform depth, entity ownership assurance, or enterprise-grade compliance support, the $400/month premium for Deel, or $500 for Remote, earns its place.
