Hire with Columbus leads our Best Value award, chosen by editorial judgment informed by third-party ratings, published entry prices and country coverage.
Judged by Robbin Schuchmann · Updated September 2026The Best Value award for Winter 2026 looks at what a buyer gets for the entry price an EOR provider publishes. We read that price alongside customer ratings from G2, Trustpilot and Capterra and the number of countries each provider actively covers. Eight providers made the list, from Native Teams (EOR from $99) to Deel (EOR from $599).
Hire with Columbus takes the top spot, with EOR from $179, 193 countries and a 5/5 rating across 16 counted reviews. Multiplier and Remote People follow. The order is an editorial judgment, not a formula, so a provider can place above another with a higher rating or a lower price. For a buyer, that means the list is a starting shortlist to compare against your own countries and headcount, not a leaderboard decided by a single number.
Hire with Columbus pairs EOR from $179 with coverage of 193 countries, and holds a 5/5 rating across 16 counted reviews (G2 5/16). The review base is small and the company was founded in 2025, so buyers may want to weigh that against the breadth and entry price.
Multiplier averages 4.8/5 across 4,413 counted reviews (G2 4.7/1498, Trustpilot 4.8/2871, Capterra 4.4/44) and covers 171 countries. Its EOR entry price is from $459, with contractor from $40.
Remote People lists EOR from $199 and covers 149 countries, with a 4.6/5 average across 699 counted reviews (G2 4.7/454, Trustpilot 4.3/173, Capterra 4.9/72). It has operated since 2018, and its contractor price starts from $29.
Deel has the largest review base on the list, at 21,226 counted reviews averaging 4.7/5 (G2 4.7/7184, Trustpilot 4.6/9728, Capterra 4.9/4314), with coverage of 153 countries. Its EOR entry price is from $599, the highest among the winners, with contractor from $49.

Native Teams lists the lowest EOR entry price among the winners, from $99, with contractor from $19. It covers 77 countries and averages 4.2/5 across 655 counted reviews (G2 4.8/246, Trustpilot 3.5/287, Capterra 4.5/122).
Winners and their order are chosen by the EOR Overview editorial team. We are informed by third-party customer ratings on G2, Trustpilot and Capterra, published EOR entry prices and active country coverage. The ratings shown are averages of scores from those platforms, not our own scores, and the prices are published entry prices (always shown as "from"). The order is a judgment, not a formula, so a provider can place above another with a higher rating or a lower price.
Use this list to build a shortlist, not to pick a winner by rank alone. Start with the countries you need to hire in, then compare each provider's published entry price and its ratings on G2, Trustpilot and Capterra. Next, request a quote for your specific roles and countries from two or three providers, since entry prices are a starting point rather than a final bill.
