Platform fees only, from each provider’s pricing page, checked October 2026. Salary, employer taxes and benefits come on top at any platform. Where a price is billed annually or is a “starting from” figure, the row says so: those are not like-for-like with a monthly price.
How it is worked out
Each platform’s monthly fee per contractor, times your contractors, plus its monthly employer-of-record fee per employee, times your employees, times the months. These are the same fees the contractor payments comparison scores, with your numbers in place of its fixed scenario.
The order changes with the mix. A platform with a low contractor fee can have a high employer-of-record fee, so a team of contractors only and a team with employees can have different cheapest platforms. The Deel and Remote guide works through where the two cross.
