// what people are saying on reddit
Thera on Reddit
Real community discussion we screened for relevance, then summarised: unfiltered operator experience, kept separate from our Select Score. One caveat: Reddit is anonymous, and some posts come from competitors or marketing agencies, so we verify that a mention is relevant, not whether any single comment is true. Filter by sentiment, or open any mention on Reddit.
Why is payroll tech more expensive than actual payment processing?
“we switched to thera after a similar invoice shock and its like $199/contractor for EOR. still not cheap but way better than $600.”
AI summary: Author switched to Thera after sticker shock, cites $199/contractor EOR pricing as significantly cheaper than previous $600 alternative.
Best Employer of Record or (EOR) services for hiring international employees?
“I was impressed by Borderless AI and Thera. Newer but more modern I thought.”
AI summary: Author evaluated Thera at end of 2024 alongside Borderless AI and found it impressively modern, though the hire ultimately didn't proceed.
Any payroll providers cover all of Northern Europe?
“I couldn't get to speak with anything else than an AI agent. Seems the "real people" are only working on US time, which is no good.”
AI summary: User found Thera via a recommendation but was frustrated that they could only reach an AI agent and that human support operates only on US hours, which doesn't suit European needs.
A note on Reddit: not every comment is a genuine, independent user. Some posts come from marketing agencies, competitors or the providers themselves. We screen mentions for relevance before they count toward a score, but we show this discussion as community signal, not verified fact, so weigh it with that in mind.
