Teamed vs the field.

Questions about Teamed comparisons

• Which EOR is the cheapest?+

  It depends on what you mean by "cheapest". Headline fees run from ~$250/month at low-end providers to $599/month for mainstream EOR (Deel and Teamed both start at $599), with premium and enterprise tiers higher. But the headline is rarely the full bill. FX markup on salary conversion typically adds 1.5 to 3%. On a $190K salary, that's $2,850 to $5,700/year per employee that never appears as a line item. Add setup fees, exit fees, "out-of-scope" charges, and the cheapest-looking provider often isn't. Teamed's EOR matches Deel's $599 headline ($599) with Zero FX absorbed in any currency pairing: the EOR fee bills in your chosen currency, no FX line at all.
• Are all EOR providers basically the same?+

  No, but most look the same in the demo because the structural differences don't show up in feature checklists. Three things decide the actual bill and the actual experience: (1) how FX margin is disclosed (most providers don't publicly disclose terms; Teamed publishes the applied rate against the mid-market reference on every invoice); (2) whether your account is handled by a real expert with local employment-law expertise or a ticket queue routed by chatbot; (3) whether the platform tells you when to graduate to your own entity, or stays silent because EOR is more profitable for them.
• Can I switch EOR providers mid-contract?+

  Yes, most EOR contracts are month-to-month or carry a 30 to 90 day notice period. The harder part is the operational cutover: cutover plan, data validation, payroll calendar alignment, benefits continuity, employee communications. Teamed runs phased cutovers (one country at a time, or one employee cohort at a time) so the overlap period is contained. Bring your current MSA to a working session and we'll map the operational plan and the deadlines.
• How do I evaluate a competitor not yet listed here?+

  Bring your current invoice to a 30-minute working session. We unbundle it line-by-line against the same model used on our live comparison hubs: gross salary, statutory at cost, platform fee, FX residual, setup/exit. The math comes out the same regardless of vendor name.
