Is Teamed cheaper than Atlas?

Both start from $599. Teamed does not claim to be cheaper. The difference is the FX line: Teamed absorbs FX at zero markup and shows the rate on every invoice; Atlas names the fee but not the percentage. Industry FX runs 1.5 to 3% of salary.

Does Atlas really own all its entities?

Atlas markets itself as a 'Direct EOR' owning entities in 160+ countries. This is Atlas's own marketing claim, not independently verified. The right question is per-country: ask who the legal employer is in each market you hire in, and who handles a contested case.

How does Atlas support compare to Teamed in practice?

Atlas markets 24-hour white-glove support; reviewers report 2-3 business-day response times and coordination gaps in practice. Teamed gives real HR and legal experts on every plan, rated 4.8 on G2. Ask both for their median urgent response time in writing before signing.

Can Teamed help me set up my own entity when I outgrow EOR?

Yes. Teamed models when your own entity becomes the better structure and helps you set it up via GEMO in 90+ countries on the same platform, with no re-onboarding. Atlas manages EOR-to-EOR transitions but does not publish a crossover-modelling or client entity set-up product.

Which HRIS platforms does Atlas integrate with?

Atlas references platform integrations but publishes no named HRIS or ATS connector list. Reviewers flag integration gaps requiring manual data transfers. Teamed connects to the major HRIS platforms you already run without replacing your stack.

What is the difference between GEMO and standard EOR?

EOR means Teamed is the legal employer. GEMO means Teamed sets up your own legal entity in 90+ countries and runs it for you on the same platform. Employees keep their contracts, no re-onboarding. Teamed earns either way, so its crossover advice is not tied to keeping you on EOR.

What is the Teamed vs Atlas 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 local employer obligations while you direct the day-to-day work. You can hire compliantly in a market before you have a legal entity there.

Teamed is $599 per employee per month, flat. Atlas starts from $599, with an additional country LES rate and an FX conversion fee whose percentage it does not publish. Atlas markets itself as a 'Direct EOR', claiming to own entities in 160+ countries, which it positions as a compliance advantage. Teamed covers 180+ through 57 owned entities and vetted partners. The comparison turns on four questions: can you see the FX rate on every salary conversion? Do you reach a real expert on any plan? Does the EOR fit your existing HRIS? And when you are ready for your own entity, does it help you get there?

FX transparency, can you see what you pay on every salary conversion?

Both start from $599 per employee per month. The gap opens at the FX line. Teamed shows the applied conversion rate next to a mid-market reference on every invoice and absorbs the spread at zero markup. Atlas lists a 'Foreign Exchange (F/X)' fee as a named cost component on its own pricing page, disclosing the mechanism but not the percentage. You cannot quantify the FX cost from Atlas's public pricing pages.

Detail	Teamed	Atlas
EOR platform fee	$599 USD / £479 GBP per employee per month, flat	From $599 per employee per month, plus the country-specific Local Employer Services rate, benefits premiums and an FX conversion fee
FX on salary conversions	Zero markup. Applied rate shown against mid-market reference on every invoice.	FX conversion fee is a named line item on Atlas's pricing page. The percentage or spread is not published.
FX cost to buyer	Absorbed. The number you budget is the number on the invoice.	Cannot be quantified from public pricing. Ask Atlas for the rate, in writing, before signing.

Worked example

On a $190,000 salary, an undisclosed FX spread in the 1.5 to 3% industry range equates to $2,850 to $5,700 per employee per year that does not appear as a separately visible line. Across five hires that is $14,250 to $28,500 per year. Teamed removes that variable from the forecast entirely.

Human support, who is actually there when it goes wrong?

Atlas markets a white-glove model: a dedicated HR Employee Relationship Consultant per engagement, 24-hour support across 50+ languages. Third-party reviewers report a different picture: response times averaging 2-3 business days on non-urgent issues, country-team coordination gaps that have caused payment errors, and internal handoffs that slow resolution. Teamed gives real HR and legal experts on every plan, no tier upgrade required, no bot wall.

Detail	Teamed	Atlas
Human support access	Real HR and legal experts on all plans. No bot wall. No tier upgrade needed.	Dedicated HR Employee Relationship Consultant and 24-hour support team per Atlas marketing. Reviewers report 2-3 business-day response times in practice.
Service rating	Rated 4.8 on G2 for service.	Approximately 4.3 to 4.5 on G2 per secondary aggregators (June 2026). G2 page not directly accessible for verification.
Escalation path	A real escalation contact who knows your account, on every plan.	White-glove presented as standard, but reviewers flag coordination gaps between Atlas's internal teams as a recurring friction point.

What reviewer data shows

Third-party aggregator eorHQ (accessed 2026-06-17) reports reviewers citing slow response times and internal coordination gaps at Atlas leading to pay and invoice errors. Atlas markets a 24-hour model. Ask Atlas for their median resolution time on an urgent payroll question, in writing, before you sign.

Entity model and coverage, owned vs mixed

Atlas markets itself as the 'largest Direct EOR', claiming to own and operate legal entities in all 160+ covered countries. Teamed reaches 180+ through 57 owned entities (including Germany, France, Spain, the UK and the US) plus vetted in-country partners for the rest. Both are broad. The buyer question is per country: in each market you actually hire in, which model applies, and who handles a contested case?

Detail	Teamed	Atlas
Reach	180+ countries. Owned entities in 57 countries including Germany, France, Spain, the UK and the US. Vetted partners cover the rest.	160+ countries. Atlas claims to own and operate entities in all covered markets. This is Atlas's own marketing position, not externally audited.
Entity model	A transparent mix of 57 Teamed-owned entities and vetted in-country partners. Ask per country which applies.	Atlas positions as direct/owned throughout, explicitly contrasting itself with 'hybrid' models. The '160+ owned' claim is unverified externally.
German compliance	Teamed owns its German entity. Real HR and legal experts handle Betriebsrat consultations and KSchG terminations directly.	Atlas claims in-house local specialists across Germany and the EU.

The right question

The '160+ owned' and '180+ mixed' numbers are both marketing figures. The question that matters is simpler: in each specific country you hire in today, who is the legal employer, how are they structured, and who handles a contested case? Ask both providers that, per country.

HRIS fit and integrations, does it play nicely with your stack?

Teamed does not try to be your system of record. It connects to the HRIS and payroll platforms you already run, so your existing stack stays intact. Atlas takes an all-in-one HXM approach with EOR, payroll, benefits, expense management and a learning system built in. That depth suits enterprise buyers who want everything in one product. For fast-growing companies with a working HRIS, reviewers flag that Atlas publishes no named HRIS connectors and integration gaps require manual data transfers.

Detail	Teamed	Atlas
Approach	Integrates with your HRIS and connects to your existing stack. No rip-and-replace.	All-in-one HXM platform with EOR, payroll, benefits, expense management, learning and mobile apps built in.
HRIS integrations	Connects to the major HRIS and payroll platforms the mid-market runs.	Atlas references an API and platform integrations but publishes no named HRIS connectors. Reviewers cite gaps requiring manual data transfers with common HRIS and ATS platforms.
Learning and content	Advisory-led. Not a learning management platform.	Atlas HXM Learning: 9,000+ courses built into the platform.

For the middle

If you want one product to run all of HR, IT and payroll, Atlas (or Rippling) is worth evaluating. If you have a HRIS that works and want an EOR that connects to it cleanly, Teamed is built that way.

Contractor tooling, how each provider handles non-employee populations

Contractor and EOR populations sit increasingly on the same platform. Teamed's Guard and Protect products run on the same system as EOR, with misclassification cover built in. Guard provides up to $10,000 per case with you as the engager; Protect has Teamed engage the contractor directly and take on the misclassification liability. Atlas references 'Contractor Access' self-service but does not publish a dedicated contractor-payments product, and reviewers note that contractor features lag specialist competitors.

Detail	Teamed	Atlas
Contractor management	Guard and Protect on the same system as EOR. Guard: up to $10,000 per case misclassification cover, you remain the engager. Protect: Teamed engages the contractor directly.	Contractor Access self-service portal exists but Atlas publishes no dedicated contractor-payments product. Reviewers note contractor features lag specialist competitors.
Misclassification cover	Guard and Protect cover contractor misclassification. See terms.	Not a published feature of the Atlas contractor offering.

If you run a mixed workforce

If having contractors and employees on the same platform matters to your operations, Teamed and Deel both offer dedicated contractor products with misclassification cover. Atlas covers it as a self-service access point rather than a primary product.

Scaling to your own entity when EOR is no longer the right structure

EOR is a stage, not a destination. As your headcount in one country grows, the cumulative per-seat fee approaches the fixed cost of running your own entity there. Teamed models that crossover per country, helps you set up your own entity via Global Entity and Employment Operations (GEMO) in 90+ countries, on the same system with no re-onboarding. Because Teamed earns whether you stay on EOR or move to GEMO, its advice is not tied to keeping you on EOR. Atlas manages EOR-to-EOR provider transitions well but does not publish a proactive crossover-modelling or client entity set-up product.

Detail	Teamed	Atlas
Crossover modelling	Flags the point where your own entity becomes the better structure, per country, proactively.	Not a published feature.
Your own entity	GEMO sets up your entity in 90+ countries and manages it on the same platform. No re-onboarding for employees.	Atlas helps clients transition between EOR providers but does not publish a client entity set-up and management product equivalent to GEMO.
Incentive alignment	Teamed earns whether you stay on EOR or move to GEMO, so its advice is not tied to keeping you on the EOR fee.	A provider that earns only on EOR has a structural reason not to model the crossover for you.

Rough guide

At a small headcount in one country, EOR is almost always the simpler structure. As you add people in the same country, the cumulative per-seat fee approaches the fixed cost of a registered entity, a local director, bookkeeping and annual filings. The exact crossover is country-specific. Teamed models it per country and helps you make the move.

Enterprise certifications and security, what a GC checks before signing

A general counsel or security lead has a short list: certifications, who can change payroll, where data sits, and who they call in an incident. Atlas holds ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 today, alongside NelsonHall and Everest Group Leader recognition. Teamed is ISO 27001 and SOC 2 aligned with accreditation in progress, adds maker-checker controls and a documented audit trail, and gives you a real escalation contact who knows your account in any incident.

Detail	Teamed	Atlas
Security certifications	ISO 27001 and SOC 2 aligned, with accreditation in progress.	ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 certified. SOC 2 not listed publicly on Atlas site.
Analyst recognition	Rated 4.8 on G2 for service.	Named a Leader by NelsonHall and Everest Group.
Controls and escalation	Maker-checker approval on payroll changes, documented audit trail and a real escalation contact who knows your account on every plan.	Enterprise-grade HXM controls. Specific framework details not published for external review.

The certification decision

If ISO 27001 or a NelsonHall listing is a hard procurement gate for your security team today, Atlas clears it and Teamed does not yet. Weigh that honestly. What Teamed adds is human ownership of a payroll incident: maker-checker control and a real escalation contact who knows your account, not a ticket in a queue.

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
FX on salary conversions	Ask for the FX policy in writing before signing. Teamed shows the applied rate against mid-market at zero markup on the fee. Atlas discloses an FX conversion fee on its pricing page but does not publish the percentage, so ask Atlas for the rate in writing before you sign.	An undisclosed FX spread in the 1.5 to 3% industry range adds $2,850 to $5,700 per year on a $190,000 salary. Teamed absorbs that variable entirely. Atlas names the FX item but does not publish the percentage, so the cost cannot be modelled from public pricing.	A visible FX line on every salary invoice means no surprise reconciliation at year-end and a cleaner record for your employees.	An applied rate shown next to a public mid-market reference is an auditable record. An undisclosed rate is not.
Support when something goes wrong	A contested termination or a works-council consultation needs a real employment-law expert available quickly. Ask both Atlas and Teamed for their median response time on an urgent payroll issue, in writing, before you sign.	Teamed gives real HR and legal experts on all plans. Atlas markets 24-hour support but reviewers report 2-3 business-day response times in practice. Factor in what a delayed payroll correction costs.	You need a real person available when it matters. Teamed is rated 4.8 on G2 for service. Ask Atlas for their current G2 score independently, as Atlas's G2 page was returning errors when this article was researched in June 2026.	In a data or payroll incident, time to first response matters. Know before you sign who you call and what the escalation path looks like.
Path to your own entity	EOR is a transitional structure. Ask whether each provider will model the crossover proactively and whether it can set up and manage your own entity without re-onboarding your employees.	Teamed models the crossover per country and earns whether you stay on EOR or move to GEMO, so its advice is not tied to keeping you on the EOR fee. A provider that only earns on EOR has the opposite incentive.	A managed transition via Global Entity and Employment Operations (GEMO) means your employees keep their contracts and history. No re-onboarding, no gap in coverage.	Your own entity gives you full control over data residency and employment contracts in that country. GEMO covers 90+ countries on the same system you already use.

How switching from Atlas to Teamed works

Most switches take 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
Bring your current invoice
Share your current Atlas invoice. Teamed unbundles it line by line: gross salary, statutory at cost, platform fee, country LES rate and the FX line. You see exactly what the switch changes and where the numbers land.
Step 2
Map the operational plan
Teamed builds a cutover plan per country or per employee cohort: notice-period alignment, payroll-calendar sync, benefits continuity, employee communications. 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 FX shown against mid-market. No re-onboarding overhead.
Step 4
Close the Atlas relationship
Teamed manages the Atlas termination timeline and keeps you out of a double-billing period. Most EOR contracts are month-to-month or carry a 30 to 90-day notice period. Teamed maps the calendar.

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 too legally complex 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.

Honest take

When Atlas is the better choice

Choose Atlas if your enterprise procurement team requires current ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 certifications or a NelsonHall / Everest Group Leader listing as a non-negotiable gate. Atlas holds all three certifications today; Teamed has accreditation in progress.
Choose Atlas if you want a single all-in-one HXM platform covering EOR, payroll, benefits, expense management and a 9,000+ course learning system in one product, without external HRIS integration.
Choose Atlas if you run a large, mobility-heavy workforce that needs visa sponsorship and immigration support across 75+ countries as a core part of the EOR relationship.

Teamed leads cost transparency, human support responsiveness, HRIS integration and the path to your own entity, not enterprise certifications, all-in-one platform depth or global immigration at scale. A buyer whose primary needs are those three should consider Atlas. We'd rather route you well than win the wrong deal.

Questions to ask any EOR before you sign

1Will you show me the FX rate on every salary conversion, in writing, against a mid-market reference?
2What deposit or pre-funding do you require, and which setup, offboarding, minimum-term, termination or admin fees are in the contract?
3In each country I hire in, am I employed through your own entity or a local partner, and how is that audited?
4Who handles a contested termination or a tax-authority question, and how quickly do I reach a real expert on my current plan?
5Which HRIS and payroll platforms do you integrate with natively, and which require manual data transfers?
6When my own entity becomes the right structure, will you tell me proactively, and can you set it up and manage it for me?
7What are the notice, exit and data-portability terms if I move to a different provider?
8What are your active data-security certifications, and who do I call in a security incident?
9Is contractor misclassification cover included or an add-on I have to activate separately?

Frequently asked questions

Is Teamed cheaper than Atlas?
Both start from $599 per employee per month, and Teamed never claims to be the cheapest EOR. The difference is the FX line. Teamed absorbs FX at zero markup and shows the applied rate next to the mid-market reference on every invoice. Atlas lists an FX conversion fee as a named item on its own pricing page but does not publish the percentage or spread. Industry analysis puts undisclosed EOR FX in the 1.5 to 3% range. On a $190,000 salary, that is $2,850 to $5,700 per employee per year that does not appear as a visible line.
Does Atlas really own all its entities?
Atlas markets itself as the 'largest Direct EOR', claiming to own and operate legal entities in 160+ countries. This is Atlas's own positioning: the claim that every country is served through a directly owned entity is an unaudited marketing assertion, not independently verified by a third party in this comparison. The right question for any EOR is per-country: in each market you actually hire in, who is the legal employer, how is the entity structured, and who handles a contested employment case?
How does Atlas support compare to Teamed in practice?
Atlas markets white-glove 24-hour support and a dedicated HR Employee Relationship Consultant per engagement. Teamed gives real HR and legal experts on every plan with no bot wall and no tier upgrade required. Third-party reviewers on aggregator sites report Atlas response times of 2-3 business days on non-urgent issues and internal coordination gaps that have led to payment errors. Ask both providers for their median response time on an urgent payroll issue, in writing, before you sign. Teamed is rated 4.8 on G2 for service; Atlas's G2 rating is approximately 4.3 to 4.5 per secondary aggregators as of June 2026.
Can Teamed help me set up my own entity when I outgrow EOR?
Yes. Teamed models the crossover per country: when your headcount in one market means the cumulative per-seat EOR fee approaches the fixed cost of your own entity, Teamed flags it proactively. It then sets up and manages your own entity via Global Entity and Employment Operations (GEMO) in 90+ countries, on the same platform with no employee re-onboarding. Atlas manages transitions from other EOR providers but does not publish a proactive crossover-modelling or client entity set-up product equivalent to GEMO.
Which HRIS platforms does Atlas integrate with?
Atlas references an API and platform integrations on its site but does not publish a named list of HRIS or ATS connectors. Third-party reviewers specifically cite integration gaps with common HRIS and ATS platforms as a recurring issue requiring manual data transfers. Teamed connects to the major HRIS and payroll platforms the mid-market runs and is built to plug into your existing stack rather than replace it.
What is the difference between GEMO and standard EOR?
EOR means Teamed is the legal employer in-country while you direct the work. Global Entity and Employment Operations (GEMO) is what happens when you are ready to own your own legal entity in a country. Teamed sets up the entity for you in 90+ countries, then runs all ongoing employment operations (payroll, compliance, HR, filings) through it on the same platform. Your employees keep their contracts and history. No re-onboarding, no gap in coverage. The distinction matters because Teamed earns whether you stay on EOR or move to GEMO, so its advice is not tied to keeping you on EOR.

Common questions

Teamed vs Atlas, which EOR is better for a fast-growing company hiring across Europe?
For a fast-growing company hiring across Europe, the four dimensions to weigh are FX visibility, support responsiveness, HRIS fit and the path to your own entity. Teamed leads all four: it shows the FX against mid-market at zero markup, gives real HR and legal experts on every plan with no bot wall, connects to your existing HRIS rather than replacing it, and models the crossover to your own entity via GEMO. Atlas leads enterprise certifications (ISO 27001/27017/27018) and all-in-one HXM depth. Coverage and compliance depth are draws. Choose Teamed for FX transparency, a real human and an entity path; choose Atlas if enterprise certifications and a single HXM suite are your priorities.
Does Atlas show FX fees on its invoices?
Atlas discloses that it charges a foreign exchange fee on its pricing page, listing it as 'Foreign Exchange (F/X): a rate applicable for the service of converting invoice currency into local currency'. The mechanism is disclosed; the percentage or spread is not published on Atlas's public pricing pages. You cannot quantify the cost from public sources alone. Teamed shows the applied rate against the mid-market reference on every invoice and absorbs FX at zero markup on the fee.
