Frequently asked questions

• Is Teamed cheaper than Boundless?+

  It's the wrong question. Teamed publishes $599 USD or £479 GBP flat. Boundless publishes 600 EUR, roughly $648 at mid-2026 rates, so the two are priced in different currencies and the gap moves with the rate. The difference that lasts is cost clarity. Teamed absorbs currency conversion at zero markup and shows the applied rate against the mid-market reference on every invoice. Boundless does not publish the spread applied to salary conversions. Get both sets of terms in writing, model them in your own budget currency on the same basis, then decide. The point isn't the sticker. 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. Boundless owns entities in key European markets and uses vetted partners elsewhere, but it doesn't publish a clean country-by-country split, so you can't tell at a glance whether a given market is owned or partner-served.
• Can I switch from Boundless to Teamed 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: contract timing, payroll-calendar alignment, benefits continuity, and employee communications. Teamed runs phased cutovers, one country or one employee cohort at a time, so the overlap period is contained. Bring your current Boundless MSA and Teamed maps the cutover plan and the deadlines. Most switches complete in four to six weeks.
• What is Boundless's FX policy?+

  Boundless invoices clients in their home currency and provides a full breakdown of payroll costs, but does not publish the spread applied to salary conversions on its website (verified June 2026 at boundlesshq.com/faq/). If you need the FX terms, request them explicitly from the Boundless sales or account team and get them in writing before signing. Teamed shows the applied rate against the mid-market reference on every invoice and absorbs FX at zero markup on the fee.
• Is Boundless part of Payoneer?+

  Yes, since January 2026. Payoneer (NASDAQ: PAYO), the global payments company, acquired Boundless in a deal that closed on January 20, 2026. Boundless continues to operate under its own brand and with its own leadership team. The acquisition is part of Payoneer's strategy to build a complete financial stack for international SMBs, particularly in Europe. If you already use Payoneer for payments, the convergence of EOR and payments infrastructure may be a genuine operational benefit.
• When should I set up my own entity instead of using an EOR?+

  The crossover point depends on headcount and salary mix in each country. As a rough guide, EOR stays more cost-effective than running your own entity below roughly 10 to 15 full-time employees in most European markets. Above that, the cumulative per-seat EOR fee approaches the fixed cost of a registered entity, a local director where needed, bookkeeping, and annual filings. Teamed models this crossover explicitly and flags the month your own entity gets cheaper. That modelling is a standard part of the advisory relationship, not an upsell. Teamed can then set the entity up in 100+ markets on the same system with no re-onboarding of existing EOR employees. Wherever you start, Teamed advises you on the model that fits.
• How many countries does Boundless cover?+

  Boundless covers approximately 110+ countries, with the strongest depth in European markets. It owns entities in key EU and UK markets and uses vetted local partners for the rest of its coverage. Teamed covers 187+ countries through owned entities plus vetted local partners. If your hiring plan includes markets in Latin America, Southeast Asia or Africa beyond a handful of key locations, confirm Boundless coverage per country before committing. Coverage breadth within Europe is comparable, and Boundless is deeper there; the gap shows outside it.

• Teamed vs Boundless, which is better for a company hiring across Europe and beyond?+

  It depends which of two buyers you are. Boundless is Europe-first, owns entities in key European markets, runs a deeper self-serve platform, and since January 2026 sits inside the Payoneer financial stack (NASDAQ: PAYO), with a 4.8 G2 rating. If you hire primarily in Europe, want the broader self-serve product, or already run payments through Payoneer, Boundless is a credible choice. 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 (HR and legal experts on every plan, no tier to unlock), coverage breadth (187+ countries versus approximately 110+), in-country compliance (own entities in 57 countries, DLA Piper as global counsel, best in-country partners, structure published), and advice on the right model wherever you start. For a company with a global footprint or a plan to grow beyond Europe, Teamed is the stronger fit.
• Which EOR is the better fit if I already run an HRIS?+

  Teamed, by design. Most global employment platforms are built to become the system you work in, which means duplicating records you already keep, or migrating off the HRIS you chose. Teamed is a focused global employment platform on purpose. It does contractor, EOR and your own entity, and it connects outward to the HR and payroll stack you already run rather than asking you to replace it. Boundless runs a broader self-serve platform inside the Payoneer stack. If consolidating your whole workflow onto one self-serve product is the goal, that is the better answer. If you've already invested in an HRIS and want global employment that fits alongside it, that's the case for Teamed. Name the systems you run, and Teamed will confirm what connects.
