The verdict

Foothold America scores 56/100 on the Select Score, strongest on support and compliance. EOR pricing starts from $650 per employee per month. Its weakest axis is country coverage, the clearest trade-off to weigh before committing.

Foothold America is a US-headquartered employer of record founded in 2015, offering EOR, payroll, and contractor management across a focused set of markets. Its narrow geographic footprint makes it suited to companies hiring specifically within North America rather than teams that need global reach. With a 4 out of 5 blended review rating across 13 third-party reviews, it is a fit for buyers who prioritize service quality over scale.
