Native Teams EOR review 2026

Native Teams charges $99 for EOR, while some premium providers charge five or six times more.

That gap is impossible to ignore. It also raises questions.

Does the low rate come with trade-offs? Are the core services the same?

I tested Native Teams to see what that $99 actually gets you. I looked at country coverage, platform experience, support quality, compliance handling, integrations, and more.

By the end of this page, you’ll have enough detail to decide if the platform is right for you.

Native Teams brings together the key tools for managing international employees and contractors in one place.

The key features are:

Native Teams offers EOR services in more than 95 countries and covers the most common hiring markets across Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, and Latin America.

The platform uses a hybrid setup, with owned entities in key regions and partner networks in other regions.

Europe is the core focus

Europe is where Native Teams is most established. The company operates through direct entities across many EU countries, supported by local teams and region-specific employment knowledge. For businesses hiring mainly in Europe, coverage is consistent and well supported.

Coverage beyond Europe

Outside the EU, Native Teams supports hiring in major business hubs such as the United States, Canada, Australia, Singapore, and several Latin American markets. Contractor management follows the same country list, with global payments handled through the platform’s wallet and card system.

This footprint works well for standard hiring plans but leaves less room for expansion into niche or emerging markets.

How it compares

Native Teams’ country coverage is smaller than that of several large EOR providers:

• Deel: around 150 countries

• Remote: roughly 190 countries

• Hire with Columbus: about 185 countries

Native Teams charges $99 per employee per month for Employer of Record services.

The same rate applies across all supported countries. There are no country-based price increases.

What’s included

The base EOR price covers core employment services:

• Local employment contracts

• Payroll processing

• Tax filings and statutory deductions

• Standard benefits administration

• HR support

• One admin account

Contractor pricing

Contractors cost $19 per person per month. This includes invoicing, compliant agreements, global payments, and tax documentation.

This pricing works well for teams that manage both employees and contractors.

Additional costs

Some services are priced separately.

Visa and work permit support uses custom pricing. Fees depend on the destination country and visa type. Enhanced benefit packages vary by location and coverage level. Dedicated account management is included in higher tiers or offered as an add-on.

Cost comparison

Native Teams sits between budget platforms and premium providers on price.

Pricing differences become clear at scale; let’s look at one such example.

• Native Teams: $990 per month for a 10-person international team

• Premium EOR providers: $4,000 to $7,000 per month for the same team size

• Estimated annual savings: $36,000 to $72,000

On the other hand, Hire with Columbus has a higher start rate than Native Teams for EOR but offers a broader country list.

Native Teams uses a clean, minimal layout. The interface centers on core tasks. Most screens focus on day-to-day actions.

Dashboard and navigation

The main dashboard shows employee status, payroll activity, upcoming payments, and compliance items. Navigation follows a clear structure. Sections are separated by function.

Employees, contractors, payroll, expenses, and documents each have their own area.

Users can view:

• Employee counts by country

• Pending and completed payments

• Compliance status

• Transaction history

The interface supports routine administrative work. It does not include advanced analytics or deep customization.

Onboarding flow

Onboarding follows a guided sequence. Many standard cases finish in five to seven business days.

The process includes:

• Employee information collection

• Contract creation and signing

• Local registrations

• Payroll activation

Progress updates are provided during onboarding. Timelines vary by country and documentation requirements.

How work gets done

Native Teams uses assisted workflows alongside the platform. Some changes involve direct coordination with account managers. This includes contract updates and certain compliance actions.

Some companies prefer this approach, but others look for fully self-serve workflows and might be a better fit for other providers.

Mobile access

Native Teams provides mobile access for basic tasks.

Users can review payroll, expenses, and employee information on mobile. More involved administrative work is better handled on a desktop.

More on this in a dedicated section below.

Payments and finance tools

Payment tools are part of the platform. Wallets, cards, and expense tracking sit alongside payroll and contractor payments. Transaction records are available in one place.

Native Teams provides several support options, with access and response times varying by request type and region. EOR clients also receive dedicated account managers, which shapes how most support interactions work.

Access and response times

Support is available through:

• Email: primary channel, available 24/7

• WhatsApp in some regions

• Limited phone support (usually for complex cases escalated to managers)

Simple questions are usually answered within a few hours during business hours. More involved compliance requests take longer. Account setup changes and contract updates often require one to two business days. Non-urgent requests outside business hours are typically handled the next business day.

Quality and account manager support

User feedback shows mixed but consistent patterns. Many users report helpful support for standard EOR tasks, payment questions, and onboarding steps. Local, country-specific knowledge is often mentioned as a strength.

At the same time, some users report slower responses for urgent issues and uneven depth on complex cases. Communication gaps can appear during handoffs between teams.

EOR clients work directly with assigned account managers. These contacts handle contract updates, compliance changes, and escalated issues. This approach works best for teams managing multiple employees or ongoing changes.

Documentation and self-help

The knowledge base includes onboarding guides, country requirements, payment instructions, and FAQs. It covers common tasks well. More complex or country-specific questions usually move to direct support.

Native Teams connects with a small set of common productivity tools. These integrations focus on communication and file handling rather than deep system connections.

Supported tools

Native Teams integrates with:

• Microsoft Outlook

• Google Docs

• Gmail

• Slack

• OneDrive

• Dropbox Business

• pCloud Business

These connections support basic workflows such as document sharing, communication, and file storage.

Scope and limits

The integration list covers core use cases. It does not extend far into HR systems, accounting platforms, or specialized business tools. Teams using more complex software stacks often rely on manual data entry.

API access appears limited based on public documentation, but I’ve heard some industry rumors that it’s planned for this year. I’ll keep track of things and report back.

So, custom integrations and automated data flows are not a core strength. Larger platforms typically invest more heavily in these areas.

Native Teams offers mobile apps on iOS and Android. The app focuses on basic account and payment visibility rather than full platform control.

What the apps support

The mobile apps allow users to handle simple, day-to-day tasks. These include:

• Viewing wallet balances

• Checking transaction history

• Reviewing payments

• Managing basic expense entries

• Accessing account details

These functions work best for quick checks rather than active administration.

App quality and feedback

User feedback is mixed. Some users value being able to check balances and expenses on the go. Others point to unclear fees, slow processing at times, and gaps compared to the web platform.

Download volume and review counts remain relatively low. This suggests limited adoption rather than widespread mobile-first use.

Development pace

The apps receive regular updates. Recent releases added reimbursements, card controls, two-factor authentication, payroll-related actions, and expense features.

Based on my research, the development activity appears to be ongoing.

Where the apps fall short

The mobile experience does not match the depth of the web platform.

More complex tasks still require desktop access. The apps function as companions rather than replacements.

Native Teams provides standard reports for payroll, costs, payments, and compliance. The focus is on visibility and recordkeeping, not analysis or forecasting.

What’s included

Reporting covers the essentials needed to manage international employment. This includes:

• Payroll summaries with gross pay, deductions, employer contributions, and net pay

• Employee costs by country

• Payment and transaction history

• Expense tracking

• Tax filings and compliance documents

Reports are available historically and can be exported for accounting use.

Financial visibility and compliance records

Financial dashboards show wallet balances, currency activity, card spending, and payment history. These views help teams track payroll outflows and expenses. The data is presented clearly but without customization.

Compliance reporting stores contracts, benefits enrollment, tax registrations, and required filings by country.

These records support audits and internal reviews. The platform does not provide deeper regulatory analysis.

Where it falls short

Reporting is focused on operational views and standard dashboards rather than advanced analytics. The platform does not document custom report-building tools or predictive insight features.

Native Teams uses standard security controls to protect employment and financial data. The platform follows established security practices common across SaaS providers.

Core protections

The platform relies on widely used safeguards for data access and storage:

• Encryption: AES-256 for data at rest and TLS 1.3 for data in transit

• Access controls: Role-based permissions set by administrators

• Authentication: Multi-factor login through SMS or Google Authenticator

Together, these controls limit access to sensitive employee and payroll information.

Security certifications

Native Teams states alignment with recognized security standards, including ISO and SOC 2.

These frameworks focus on internal controls, access management, and data security processes.

Public references to these certifications are high-level. Detailed audit reports or certification scopes are not widely shared, at least that’s what I found in my research.

Native Teams handles compliance by applying local employment rules in each supported country. The platform is built for standard employment setups rather than edge cases or heavy advisory work.

Employment, payroll, and benefits

Compliance starts with country-specific employment contracts. These contracts include required terms, termination rules, benefits, and statutory language. Local legal guidance informs the templates.

Core compliance coverage includes:

• Employment contract creation and updates

• Employee tax registration and recurring filings

• Statutory deductions and social security payments

• Mandatory benefits such as healthcare, pensions, and leave

• Year-end payroll and tax documents

Payroll and benefits are updated as local rules change. These updates are handled at the platform level.

Ongoing regulatory monitoring

Compliance teams track changes to employment laws, tax rules, and benefit requirements across supported countries. When changes occur, contracts, payroll calculations, or benefit handling are adjusted. This keeps standard employment arrangements aligned with local rules.

Practical limits

Most users I talked to report smooth compliance handling for typical hires.

I’ve seen some reviews mention billing issues, delayed updates, or administrative errors that require follow-up.

Companies in heavily regulated industries or with complex structures may find the support less flexible. Documentation covers the basics but does not replace advisory-level guidance.
