Is Teamed cheaper than Globalization Partners?

G-P doesn't publish an EOR price, so there is no headline to compare. Teamed is a flat $599 that itemises every line, with FX at zero markup shown against a mid-market reference. G-P publishes no EOR FX rate. Model both on the same basis, then decide.

Ted is Teamed's AI layer inside the platform. It handles the routine, learns from patterns across customers, and flags law changes and the crossover point early. People approve every outcome, and you can always reach a person directly.

How does Teamed handle in-country legal compliance?

In three published layers: Teamed's own entities in 57 countries, DLA Piper as global counsel for cross-border consistency, and specialist in-country partners on top where needed. The best answer isn't always an owned entity. Teamed shows which model stands behind each country.

When should I move from EOR to my own entity?

Below roughly 10 to 15 full-time employees in most European markets, EOR tends to stay more cost-effective. Above that the per-seat fee approaches fixed entity costs. Teamed models the crossover per country, flags it, and builds the entity via GEMO on the same system with no re-onboarding.

Can I switch from Globalization Partners to Teamed?

Yes, most EOR contracts are month to month or 30 to 90-day notice. The hard part is the cutover: payroll calendar, benefits continuity, employee communications. Teamed runs phased switches and maps it from your G-P agreement. Most complete in about four to six weeks.

How do Teamed and Globalization Partners compare on support?

G-P leans base support on its G-P Assist AI assistant and gates a human to the Prime tier, rated 4.4 on G2. Teamed gives real HR and legal experts on every plan with no tier to unlock, rated 4.8, with Ted handling the routine and flagging law changes and the crossover behind the humans.

Where it matters	Who leads	Why
Headline price	Teamed	Teamed publishes a flat $599 per employee per month. Globalization Partners keeps EOR pricing quote-only, with no per-employee figure on any primary page and two named packages, Core and Prime. On a published, predictable headline, Teamed leads. If you want a number you can forecast, that is worth weighing first.
Cost clarity	Teamed	The base is only part of the bill. Teamed itemises every line. FX is absorbed at zero markup, with the applied rate shown against the mid-market reference. The deposit and exit terms are set out before you sign. G-P publishes no EOR FX rate, spread or markup, so the cost of each salary conversion is hard to see. The point isn't a lower price. It's that you see the whole number.
Support	Teamed	Teamed puts real HR and legal experts on every plan, with no support tier to unlock. G-P routes base-tier support through its G-P Assist AI assistant and reserves a dedicated success contact and direct HR and legal access for the higher Prime tier. On a hard case, reaching a real expert without unlocking a tier is the difference.
Platform	Draw	Two products, two buyers. G-P is a broad enterprise platform with the longer track record at the top of the market. Teamed is a focused global employment platform, contractor to EOR to your own entity on one system, and it connects to the tools you already run rather than replacing your HRIS. Want the established enterprise all-in-one? G-P. Want global employment done properly alongside your stack? Teamed.
Employment intelligence	Teamed	Teamed runs Ted, an AI layer inside the platform. It handles the routine, so you're seen fast. It learns from patterns across customers, so a problem solved once is solved for everyone. It flags law changes and the crossover point before they reach you. Real people approve every outcome. G-P uses AI in G-P Assist to answer base-tier support, a different job, and doesn't frame an intelligence layer that gets you to an expert faster.
Compliance and in-country coverage	Teamed	Teamed delivers compliance in layers, and publishes how. Its own entities in 57 countries. DLA Piper as global counsel for cross-border consistency. Specialist in-country partners on top where a jurisdiction needs them. The best answer isn't always an owned entity. Sometimes it's the right in-country partner, and Teamed shows you which stands behind each country. G-P delivers real in-country compliance at enterprise scale, but the owned-versus-partner structure per country is worth asking about.
Coverage breadth	Globalization Partners	Both mix owned entities and vetted partners. Teamed reaches 187+ countries through 57 owned entities plus partners. G-P reaches 180+ through over 100 legal entities plus a partner network. The country counts are close, but on owned-entity depth and enterprise track record at the top of the market, G-P leads. If breadth of owned infrastructure is what you are buying, weigh that.
Security and certifications	Globalization Partners	G-P holds ISO 27001, 27017, 27018, 42001 and SOC 2 Type II today, published on a self-serve trust portal. Teamed's controls are in place, with maker-checker checks and a documented audit trail, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 aligned and accreditation in progress, so the certificate isn't issued yet. If your review needs the badge in hand, G-P leads today. Ask both for current reports and dates.
Onboarding speed	Teamed	Teamed publishes 24 to 48 hours to first payroll in straightforward markets. G-P is an enterprise operator and doesn't publish a time to first payroll. Ask both for their figure in the countries you're hiring in. It varies by jurisdiction more than by vendor, but Teamed commits to a published number.
Path to your own entity	Teamed	EOR is a stage, not the finish. Teamed advises you on the right model wherever you start, contractor, EOR or your own entity, and tells you when it's time to move. Then it builds the entity via GEMO and runs it on the same system, in 100+ countries, with no re-onboarding. G-P positions EOR as the alternative to running your own entities and doesn't market an own-entity setup or a crossover product.

Teamed on G2

Who Teamed is for

Teamed is built for the forgotten middle. Fast-growing companies with an international footprint that want their global employment run properly, an HR or legal expert they can reach, and advice on the right model wherever they start. If you're hiring at senior salary bands across several countries and want to know what you're signing, this is your fit.

Not the right fit if

Large enterprises that rank certification depth and analyst recognition first. Globalization Partners holds ISO 27001, 27017, 27018, 42001 and SOC 2 Type II today, with the enterprise track record at the top of the market. If a current certificate is a hard procurement gate, weigh that before you move.
Teams that want the deepest owned-entity footprint. G-P runs over 100 owned legal entities. If breadth of owned infrastructure is the priority, it leads on that. Ask per country whether you are employed through an owned entity or a partner.
Teams in a single-market, low-headcount test. Hiring one or two people in one country, with no entities on the horizon? The most self-serve tool will be fastest. Teamed earns its keep once the complexity is real.

What is the Teamed vs Globalization Partners comparison?

An Employer of Record (EOR) legally employs your people in a country through its own entity or a vetted local partner. It issues the contract, runs payroll, remits income tax and statutory contributions, and carries the employer obligations while you direct the work. You can hire compliantly in a market before you have a legal entity there.

Globalization Partners is an enterprise-scale EOR with 180-plus countries of reach through over 100 owned legal entities plus a partner network. It holds a deep security certification stack, ISO 27001, 27017, 27018, 42001 and SOC 2 Type II, and carries a long track record at the top of the market. Its EOR pricing is quote-only, with no per-employee figure on any primary page and two named packages, Core and Prime. Teamed reaches 187-plus countries through 57 owned entities plus vetted partners, and is flat at $599 per employee per month. It is a focused global employment system, not a broad enterprise suite: contractor to EOR to your own entity on one stack, connecting to the tools you already run rather than replacing them.

Every EOR delivers through a mix of owned entities and vetted in-country partners, Teamed and G-P both. What differs is whether you can see the cost and the structure. Teamed itemises every line, absorbs FX at zero markup with the applied rate shown against a mid-market reference, and publishes its compliance in three layers: its own entities in 57 countries, DLA Piper as global counsel for a consistent standard across borders, and specialist in-country partners on top where a jurisdiction needs them. The best answer isn't always an owned entity. Sometimes the right in-country partner gives better local depth. G-P publishes no EOR FX rate, spread or markup, and leans base-tier support on its G-P Assist AI assistant, reserving direct HR and legal access for the higher Prime tier.

The two are built for different buyers. If certification depth, owned-entity breadth and analyst recognition decide it, Globalization Partners is the stronger answer. If you want global employment run properly by people you can reach, with published pricing, a readable invoice and advice on the right model wherever you start, that is what Teamed is for.

Pricing

G-P keeps EOR pricing quote-only, with no per-employee figure on any primary page, so a growing company cannot forecast it easily. Teamed publishes a flat $599 per employee per month. But the number that lands on your account is the all-in one, and that is where the invoice matters. Teamed itemises every line. It absorbs FX at zero markup, with the applied rate shown against the mid-market reference. The deposit and exit terms are set out before you sign. G-P publishes no EOR FX rate, spread or markup, so the cost of each salary conversion is hard to see.

Detail	Teamed	Globalization Partners
Published base	$599 USD or £479 GBP per employee per month, flat. The same single rate for new business.	Quote-only, gated behind a sales enquiry. No per-employee figure on any primary page. Two named packages, Core and Prime.
What sits around the fee	Every line itemised. FX absorbed at zero markup, shown against the mid-market reference. A refundable deposit of one month of salary is required to start. No onboarding or offboarding fees.	No EOR FX rate, spread or markup published. Deposit and pre-funding terms are not published, so ask in writing. Some services such as visa support and equity payroll are paid add-ons for Core.

See the all-in number

Model both on the same basis before you decide. A quote-only enterprise proposal with an opaque conversion line can land above a published flat fee that itemises everything. Ask both for the full contract, not the sales deck.

Support

Teamed puts real HR and legal experts on every plan, with no support tier to unlock. G-P leans base-tier support on its G-P Assist AI assistant and reserves a dedicated success contact, quarterly account reviews and direct HR and legal access for the higher Prime tier. The gap shows on the hard cases, the contested exit or the audit, where you want a real expert who knows your account rather than a bot and a queue. Behind Teamed people sits Ted, an AI layer that handles the routine so you are seen fast and flags issues before they land. A real person approves every outcome.

Detail	Teamed	Globalization Partners
Reaching a person	Real HR and legal experts on every plan. No support tier to unlock. A real escalation contact who knows your account.	Base-tier support is AI-led via G-P Assist. A dedicated success contact and direct HR and legal access sit on the higher Prime tier.
What the system does for you	Ted handles the routine, learns from patterns across customers, and flags law changes and the crossover point early. People approve every outcome.	G-P Assist answers front-line support questions. Human depth is reserved for the Prime tier.
Service rating	Rated 4.8 on G2 for service.	Rated 4.4 on G2.

On a hard case

The test is not the average ticket. It is the contested exit or the audit. Ask both whether that goes to a real HR or legal expert who knows your account, or to an assistant and a queue.

Platform

This is a draw because the two products serve different buyers. G-P is a broad enterprise platform with the longer track record at the top of the market. If you want the established enterprise all-in-one, it fits. Teamed is a focused global employment platform. It does contractor, EOR and your own entity on one system, and it connects to the tools you already run rather than asking you to move into a new one. Focused is the design, not a gap. The depth goes into global employment, and the rest plugs in.

Detail	Teamed	Globalization Partners
Shape	Focused global employment platform. Contractor to EOR to your own entity on one system. Connects to the HRIS and payroll you already run.	Broad enterprise platform with the longer track record at the top of the market.
Best fit	When you want global employment done properly alongside the stack you already run.	When you want an established enterprise all-in-one with the widest reach.

Name the systems you run

Teamed integrates with the tools you already use rather than replacing them. Tell both your stack, and ask what connects today, not what is on a roadmap.

Compliance

Every EOR runs on a mix of owned entities and in-country partners. What differs is whether you can see the structure. Teamed publishes it. Its own entities in 57 countries. DLA Piper as global counsel, holding a consistent standard across borders. Specialist in-country partners on top where a jurisdiction needs them. The best answer isn't always an owned entity. Sometimes the right in-country partner gives better local depth, and Teamed shows you which stands behind each country. G-P delivers real in-country compliance at enterprise scale, through over 100 owned entities plus partners. For each country you hire in, ask whether the employer is an owned entity or a partner, and who stands behind a contested case.

Detail	Teamed	Globalization Partners
How compliance is delivered	Own entities in 57 countries, DLA Piper as global counsel, best in-country partners on top. The structure is published.	Over 100 owned legal entities plus a partner network. Ask per country whether an owned entity or a partner applies.
Depth on the hard cases	Real HR and legal experts with local employment-law experience handle contested terminations, collective consultations and audits directly.	A large in-country HR, legal and compliance team, with depth at enterprise scale.

Ask what's behind the flag

A coverage map is a list of countries. For each one you hire in, ask whether the employer is an entity the provider owns or an in-country partner, and who handles it when a case gets difficult.

Your own entity

EOR is a stage, not the destination. Teamed advises you on the right model from your first hire onward, contractor, EOR or your own entity. It models the crossover per country and tells you when to move. Then it builds the entity via GEMO and runs it on the same system, in 100-plus countries, with no re-onboarding. Its advice is not tied to keeping you on EOR. G-P positions EOR as the alternative to running your own entities and does not market an own-entity setup or a crossover product.

Detail	Teamed	Globalization Partners
When to move	Models the crossover month per country and tells you when your own entity beats EOR.	Not a published feature. G-P positions EOR as the alternative to running your own entities.
Making the move	GEMO builds and runs your entity in 100-plus countries on the same system, with no re-onboarding of existing employees.	Own-entity setup is not marketed. Transition support runs towards the G-P EOR.

Ask before you sign

Ask your provider whether they will tell you when to move to your own entity, and whether they can build it on the same system. Advice you get before you need it beats a guide you find afterward.

Why the comparison matters

Behind every line item is a real person, in a real place.

The fee, the FX and the support model are not abstractions. They decide whether the person you hired in Barcelona or Rome is paid right, on time, by someone who knows their employment law. That is the comparison worth running.

What each stakeholder evaluates

Criterion	Legal	Finance	People Ops	Security
What you actually pay	Ask both for the currency-conversion policy, the deposit requirement and the exit terms in writing before signing. G-P keeps EOR pricing quote-only, so request the proposal and the deposit terms explicitly. Teamed absorbs conversion at zero markup on the fee, and sets the terms out before you sign.	G-P EOR pricing is quote-only, so you cannot forecast it from a page. Fix the Teamed fee at $599 and ask G-P for its all-in figure including any pre-funding, so you compare like for like. The cost you cannot see is the currency conversion. Teamed shows the applied rate against a mid-market reference at zero markup. An opaque conversion line can quietly run 1.5 to 3% on every salary, so model it on both sides.	Either way, your payroll team reconciles salary conversions every month. Ask what rate they will see on the invoice, and whether they can check it against a public reference.	A timestamped applied rate shown against a public mid-market reference is an auditable record. An undisclosed conversion methodology is not.
Support when it matters	A contested termination, a consultation or a tax-authority question needs a real employment-law expert. On Teamed that access is on every plan. On G-P a dedicated success contact and direct HR and legal access sit on the higher Prime tier, with base-tier support running through the G-P Assist AI assistant.	Teamed is rated 4.8 on G2, G-P 4.4, so weigh the service record. If you are on the G-P base tier, factor in what unlocking Prime costs to reach a human directly. Teamed includes that expert access at the published flat fee.	A real person when it matters, not an AI assistant first. Ted sits behind the humans, handling the routine and flagging law changes and the crossover point early, with people approving every outcome.	A real escalation contact who knows your account beats an automated flow for incident handling. Know before you sign who you reach when something goes wrong at speed.
The path to your own entity	EOR is a transitional model. Ask whether the provider tells you when the crossover point arrives, and whether it can set up the entity on the same system without re-onboarding your employees.	Teamed models the crossover month when your own entity beats EOR, and flags it. G-P positions EOR as the alternative to running your own entities, so ask whether it will model the move at all.	A managed transition on the same system means your employees keep their contracts and their history. No re-onboarding, no gap in coverage.	Your own entity gives you full control over data residency and employment contracts in that country. Teamed sets it up via GEMO in 100-plus countries on the same system you already use.

How switching from Globalization Partners to Teamed works

Most switches take about four to six weeks. The operational plan is what takes time, not the paperwork. Teamed runs phased cutovers, so overlap is contained and employees never notice a gap.

Step 1
Map your G-P notice window
Share your current Globalization Partners agreement. Teamed confirms the notice period and exit terms, since most EOR contracts run month to month or carry a 30 to 90-day notice. This sets the timeline for everything else.
Step 2
Map the operational plan
Teamed builds the cutover plan per country or per employee cohort: payroll-calendar sync, benefits continuity, employee communications and data portability. Nothing moves until the plan is agreed.
Step 3
Issue new contracts
New compliant employment contracts issue under Teamed. Employees receive their new payslip structure before the first pay cycle, with the FX rate shown against a mid-market reference. No re-onboarding overhead.
Step 4
Close the G-P relationship
Teamed manages the G-P termination timeline against your notice window and exports the employee data, keeping you out of a long double-billing period. Most switches complete in about four to six weeks.

Dyke Yaxley · UK chartered accountancy

100% audit capacity added. Zero entity setup.

Audit capacity in 2024: +100%
Compliance issues across the engagement: 0
South Africa hires, both retained: 2
Entity setup required: None

Challenge

Dyke Yaxley, a UK chartered accountancy with over a century of history, was turning down audit work in 2024. Local UK talent supply for qualified auditors had not kept pace with client demand. Cross-border hiring felt legally involved for a firm whose brand sits on compliance discipline.

Approach

Dyke Yaxley partnered with Teamed to hire two qualified audit professionals in South Africa via EOR. Teamed handled the South African employment-law side end to end: compliant contract, local payroll, statutory tax obligations and onboarding logistics. No entity setup, no South African legal counsel on retainer, no permanent-establishment exposure.

Result

Both hires exceeded expectations on technical work, client satisfaction and cultural fit. Audit capacity doubled in 2024. Zero compliance issues across the engagement. The firm went from declining new audit work to confidently taking on additional clients.

Honest take

When Globalization Partners is the better choice

Choose G-P if a current ISO or SOC 2 certificate is a hard procurement gate today. G-P holds ISO 27001, 27017, 27018, 42001 and SOC 2 Type II, while Teamed is aligned with accreditation in progress.
Choose G-P if you are a large enterprise where the broadest owned-entity footprint and the longest track record at the top of the market outweigh published pricing and switching speed.
Choose G-P if analyst recognition and a brand your procurement team instantly recognises matter more to your buying committee than a readable invoice and a real human on every plan.

Teamed leads on published pricing, cost clarity, human support on every plan, employment intelligence and the path to your own entity. It doesn't lead on certification depth, owned-entity breadth or enterprise track record, and this page says so. If G-P's certification stack and scale are what your buying committee ranks first, it may be the right call. We'd rather say that than win a deal that's wrong for both sides.

Questions to ask any EOR before you sign

1What deposit or pre-funding do you require, and which setup, onboarding, minimum-term, offboarding, termination or admin costs are in the contract? Read it line by line before you sign.
2When I need help, do I reach a real person who knows my account, or an AI assistant first and a human gated behind a higher tier?
3In each country I am hiring in, is the employer an entity you own or an in-country partner, and who handles a contested case?
4Will you show the applied currency-conversion rate against a mid-market reference on every invoice?
5When my headcount in a country grows, will you tell me when my own entity beats EOR, and can you set it up and keep running it?
6Which of my existing HR and payroll systems do you integrate with, and will you replace my stack or plug into it?

Frequently asked questions

Is Teamed cheaper than Globalization Partners?
Globalization Partners doesn't publish an EOR price, so there is no headline to compare. G-P keeps EOR pricing quote-only. Teamed is a flat $599 per employee per month. The number that matters is the all-in one. Teamed itemises every line, absorbs FX at zero markup and shows the applied rate against a mid-market reference, and sets the deposit and exit terms out before you sign. G-P publishes no EOR FX rate, spread or markup, so the conversion cost is hard to see. Get both sets of terms in writing, model them on the same basis, then decide. The point isn't a lower price. It's that you see the whole number.
What is Ted?
Ted is Teamed's AI layer, built into the platform rather than bolted onto the front of it. It handles the routine, so you're seen fast. It learns from patterns across customers, so a problem solved once doesn't have to be solved again. It flags law changes and the crossover point before they reach you. Real people approve every outcome. The intent is that AI gets you to the right expert faster and catches issues while they're small, rather than standing between you and a human. You can always reach a person directly.
How does Teamed handle in-country legal compliance?
In three layers, and it publishes the structure. First, Teamed's own legal entities, in 57 countries. Second, DLA Piper as global counsel, holding a consistent legal standard across borders. Third, specialist in-country partners on top, where a jurisdiction needs local depth. Owning an entity is the floor, not the whole job. And the best answer isn't always an owned entity: sometimes the right in-country partner gives you better local depth. Teamed shows you which model stands behind each country. Many providers describe coverage, but don't publish how it's delivered, so you can't tell whether a country is served by an owned entity or a partner.
When should I move from EOR to my own entity?
The crossover point depends on headcount and salary mix in each country. As a rough guide, EOR stays more cost-effective than your own entity below roughly 10 to 15 full-time employees in most European markets. Above that, the cumulative per-seat fee approaches the fixed cost of a registered entity, a local director where needed, bookkeeping, and annual filings. Teamed models this crossover per country and flags the month your own entity gets cheaper. It then builds and runs the entity via GEMO in 100-plus countries on the same system, with no re-onboarding of existing employees. Wherever you start, Teamed advises you on the model that fits.
Can I switch from Globalization Partners to Teamed?
Yes. Most EOR contracts are month to month or carry a 30 to 90-day notice period. The harder part is the operational cutover: contract timing, payroll-calendar alignment, benefits continuity, and employee communications. Teamed runs phased cutovers, one country or one cohort at a time, so the overlap period is contained. Bring your current Globalization Partners agreement, and Teamed maps the cutover plan and exports your employee data. Most switches complete in about four to six weeks.
How do Teamed and Globalization Partners compare on support?
They take different approaches. G-P leans base-tier support on its G-P Assist AI assistant and reserves a dedicated success contact, quarterly account reviews and direct HR and legal access for the higher Prime tier. It is rated 4.4 on G2. Teamed gives direct access to real HR and legal experts on every plan, with no support tier to unlock, and is rated 4.8. The gap shows on the hard cases, and on what runs behind the humans. Ted handles the routine and flags law changes and the crossover point early, with people approving every outcome. For a contested exit or a jurisdiction you haven't hired in before, Teamed's model is the fit.

Common questions

Teamed vs Globalization Partners, which is better for a company hiring across Europe?
It depends which of two buyers you are. Globalization Partners is an enterprise-scale provider that holds the deeper certification stack, ISO 27001, 27017, 27018, 42001 and SOC 2 Type II, the broader owned-entity footprint, over 100 legal entities, and strong analyst recognition. If certification depth and enterprise scale decide it, G-P is the stronger answer. Teamed is $599 flat and a focused global employment system: contractor to EOR to your own entity on one stack, connecting to the tools you already run. It leads on cost clarity (every line itemised, FX at zero markup shown against the mid-market reference), support (real HR and legal experts on every plan, no tier to unlock), and advice on the right model wherever you start. For a company hiring at senior salary bands across several European markets that wants employment run properly by people it can reach, Teamed is the stronger fit.
Is Teamed a good alternative to Globalization Partners for a growing company?
For a fast-growing company with an international footprint, yes, on the dimensions that usually drive the choice. Teamed publishes a flat $599 per employee per month, shows the FX on every invoice against a mid-market reference at zero markup, includes a real HR or legal expert on every plan, and offers a path to your own managed entity via GEMO. G-P keeps EOR pricing quote-only, publishes no EOR FX rate, and reserves a dedicated success contact and direct HR and legal access for its higher Prime tier. Where G-P still leads is the depth of its certification stack, its owned-entity footprint and its enterprise track record, so a large enterprise that ranks those highest may be better staying on G-P.
