Own entity or local partner

Multiplier publicly documents its own employing entity in 2 countries (India and Canada).
RemoFirst names a local partner as the employer in 34 countries.
Only entities with a public source (a registry record or the provider’s own legal documents) are counted. A provider can have more entities than it publishes.

RemoFirst's published EOR fee is $260 lower per employee per month. That is $3,120 a year for one hire and $31,200 a year for a team of ten, before any volume discount either provider negotiates.
