Perpetum vs RemoFirst
Own entity or local partner
An EOR either employs your hire through its own local company or through a partner it contracts. With its own entity, the provider controls payroll and compliance directly; with a partner, a third company is the legal employer.
Perpetum does not publicly name its employing entities, so we cannot show where it employs directly.
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.
What the fee difference adds up to
RemoFirst's published EOR fee is $200 lower per employee per month. That is $2,400 a year for one hire and $24,000 a year for a team of ten, before any volume discount either provider negotiates.
