Teamed review 2026: pricing, verdict & alternatives
Teamed is the EOR for teams that will graduate - contractor to EOR to your own entity without re-onboarding - from $599 per employee per month across 187+ countries; skip it if you need integrations or the lowest price.

This is an independent review by Employ Borderless, the global hiring advisory platform that helps companies choose the right EOR, PEO, or global payroll provider. We are not an EOR provider. We help you choose one.
What is Teamed?
Teamed is an employer of record covering 187+ countries, from $599 per employee per month, with contractor management from $49. It was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in London.
At $599 it prices with Deel and Atlas while covering fewer countries than either, so the case for it is not reach or price. Our verdict is continuity: Teamed will carry the same worker from contractor to employer of record to your own entity, which suits a mid-market company expanding in stages rather than all at once.
The review sets out what the $599 covers, where the staged model is worth paying for, and the integration gaps against the larger platforms. Teamed rates 4.5 on G2 from 75 reviews.

How much does Teamed cost?
Teamed pricing starts from $599 per employee/month for employer of record and $49 per employee/month for contractors. That fee is the smallest part of what a team costs. At the starting fee, a team of 5 in Germany at $60,000 each costs about $398,534 in the first year through Teamed: $300,000 in salaries, $62,594 in Germany statutory employer contributions and $35,940 in Teamed fees. Another country produces a different total, because the statutory employer costs are set locally.

What a team of 5 in 🇩🇪 Germany, at $60,000 each, costs through Teamed
The headline fee is the smallest line. Here is the estimated first-year total for the team.
| Base salaries5 × $60,000 | $300,000 |
| Statutory employer contributionsGermany employer rate, ~20.9% | $62,594 |
| Teamed EOR feestarting fee $599/mo × 5 × 12 | $35,940 |
| Estimated all-in annual cost | $398,534 |
Estimate only. Statutory rates are Germany employer contributions (2025 data) on gross salary; caps, benefits, 13th-month pay and provider quotes vary. Teamed's published fee is a starting price and the fee for Germany can be higher, so ask for that country's quote. Run your own numbers before budgeting.
Before you sign, ask Teamed to confirm in writing
Undocumented fees only bind the provider once they are on paper. Where we have found a published figure it is named below; where we have not, ask for the number.
- In writing: whether a security deposit is required, how many months, and when it is refunded.
- In writing: the FX markup applied when payroll is funded in your currency. We found no figure for it on Teamed's own pages when we last looked in July 2026.
- In writing: what offboarding or termination costs when an employee leaves. We found no figure for it on Teamed's own pages when we last looked in July 2026.
- In writing: any one-time setup or onboarding fees per employee. We found no figure for it on Teamed's own pages when we last looked in July 2026.
- In writing: the minimum contract term and what early exit costs. We found no figure for it on Teamed's own pages when we last looked in July 2026.
What this means for you
Teamed publishes a starting fee, and the fee for a given country can be higher, so ask for that country's quote. What changes most country by country is everything around it: the $62,594 of statutory contributions for this team in Germany is set by Germany, not by Teamed, and you pay it whichever employer of record you choose. Compare providers on the fee and on what the fee includes, then run the total again for each country you hire in.
Which teams should choose Teamed?
Tell us four things about your team and we will tell you what we would do in that situation. The answer comes from the same seven situations we put every provider through, so this review and the next one are judged the same way.
Cheapest compliant option
From $599 per employee per month, premium territory.
For this situation we would look at RemoFirst first. That is a better fit for what you described, not a better provider.
Should you choose Teamed?

Each pillar is scored out of 5 in half steps, from our research, customer evidence and the provider’s published data. The terracotta mark on each row is the average of the 26 EOR providers we rate, so a row that runs past it is above the field.

Read the pillar notes
Pricing
I found Teamed’s pricing clear and predictable, with published rates and itemized invoices that make budgeting easier. I didn’t score it higher because the EOR rates are in the mid- to high-range (not the cheapest option if cost is the main driver).
Country coverage
Teamed is in the third coverage tier (170 to 108 countries) as per our rating system, which earns 4.7 out of 5.
Compliance
Teamed handles everyday employment compliance well, including contracts, payroll filings, benefits, and terminations under local law. I’m rating the platform 4.3 out of 5.
Customer support
Support stood out as one of Teamed’s stronger areas, with real access to HR and legal specialists. The only real constraint I saw was availability, since coverage runs five days a week rather than around the clock.
Features
I found that Teamed covers the essentials well: EOR, contractors, payroll, and entity support.
I didn’t rate it higher because the platform stays focused on core employment workflows and leaves out some integrations you’ll see from larger providers.
Security
Teamed shows a solid security setup, backed by ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and regular third-party audits. It loses a few fractions of a point only because security information is framed at a high level, with less public detail than some enterprise-focused platforms.
User experience
The interface is focused on the tasks that matter, without unnecessary clutter. I didn’t rate it higher because it’s standard without deeper customization that some advanced users might expect.
Analytics and reporting
Reporting works well for tracking payroll, taxes, and employment costs. It loses a few point fractions because some deeper analytics I’d like to see are missing.
Integrations
I think Teamed is easier to use when integrations are on the lighter side. Without a clear catalog of pre-built connections, companies with layered systems will need extra work to move data around.

- Weighted review analysis - platforms with more reviews have higher impact (e.g. 2000 > 30)
- Independent - rankings are not influenced by affiliate partnerships
Built by practitioners, not publishers - so you can rely on it for real hiring decisions.
What Teamed does well
Broad international coverage
Supports employment and contractor services across 187+ countries, covering most common expansion markets.
Clear pricing structure
Publishes baseline pricing without hidden add-ons for standard services.
Fast onboarding for standard cases
Many hires can be set up quickly, especially in common jurisdictions, with guided support during setup.
Cryptocurrency payment option
Offers crypto payouts for contractors, which remains uncommon among EOR providers.
Access to local legal specialists
Provides country-level legal and HR support for employment, payroll, and compliance questions.
Where Teamed falls short
Limited integration depth
Does not offer a large catalog of pre-built integrations compared to enterprise HR platforms.
Analytics focus is narrow
Reporting centers on payroll and cost control rather than broader workforce analytics.
Coverage quality varies by country
Service depth depends on local setup and jurisdiction, especially outside core markets.
Not optimized for lowest-cost hiring
Pricing sits in the mid-range and may not suit companies prioritizing the cheapest option.
What are the features of Teamed?
3.9 out of 5field average 4.3I found that Teamed covers the essentials well: EOR, contractors, payroll, and entity support.

Teamed provides Employer of Record services in 187+ countries and supports contractor management globally. The company uses a mix of owned entities and partner networks to operate in different markets, with a strong focus on compliance.

Teamed pricing
4.2 out of 5field average 4.3I found Teamed’s pricing clear and predictable, with published rates and itemized invoices that make budgeting easier. I didn’t score it higher because the EOR rates are in the mid- to high-range (not the cheapest option if cost is the main driver).
Teamed pricing starts from $599 per employee/month for employer of record. Full price table and cost example
Teamed uses per-worker monthly pricing with no long-term contracts. Costs scale by service type rather than bundled plans, which makes it easier to adjust as workforce needs change.
Employer of Record services cost $599 per employee per month (£479 GBP or €560 EUR).
This covers legal employment across 187+ countries, including local payroll, tax compliance, statutory benefits, automated payroll processing, contract generation, and continuous HR and legal support.
Pricing sits in the mid-market range and comes in below several premium EOR providers, but it’s still higher than many budget options.
Contractor management costs €45 per contractor per month (about $53 USD).
The service includes the core compliance and payment functions most companies need when working with international contractors:
Localized contract generation
Compliant payments in more than 150 currencies
Tax document handling and invoice approvals
Ongoing HR and legal support
Global Entity & Employment Operations (GEMO) uses custom pricing.
This service supports entity setup in 100+ countries, payroll and benefits administration under your own entity, and managed transitions from EOR to entity employment. Final costs depend on country, scope, and operational complexity.
Comparison with other providers
The first table below shows an overview of the rates. The second table lets you compare EOR costs by employee count (use the slider to change the number of employees).
What this means for you: At $599 per employee with no long-term contracts, Teamed's per-worker model makes it easy to adjust as your team changes.
What is the user experience of Teamed like?
4.0 out of 5field average 4.2The interface is focused on the tasks that matter, without unnecessary clutter. I didn’t rate it higher because it’s standard without deeper customization that some advanced users might expect.
Teamed uses a single dashboard to manage contractors, EOR employees, and staff hired under owned entities. Workflows stay separated by function, so each screen focuses on a specific task.
Onboarding moves step by step, and contract creation stays within one workflow.
The key information is visible after logging in, and the calendar view is useful for tracking payroll and employment events.
The platform supports common administrative tasks in one place, including:
Time-off requests
Expense submissions
Document storage
Teamed does not include built-in time and attendance tracking. Companies typically submit time data separately for payroll processing.
What this means for you: Teamed offers a clear interface for core employment workflows. The platform favors focus over breadth, which works well for payroll and compliance but leaves gaps for companies that need broader HR tooling.
How is the customer support at Teamed?
4.3 out of 5field average 4.3Support stood out as one of Teamed’s stronger areas, with real access to HR and legal specialists. The only real constraint I saw was availability, since coverage runs five days a week rather than around the clock.
Teamed offers support five days a week through email, phone, live chat, WhatsApp, and Slack. Each account works with named contacts instead of rotating support agents.
From what I’ve seen across user feedback, support feels personal.
Support focuses on resolving problems rather than moving tickets along. Payroll issues, terminations, and local labor questions usually reach HR or legal specialists.
How support is structured
Support includes:
Dedicated account and operations contacts
Guided onboarding sessions
Access to local legal support for country-specific issues
What this means for you: Teamed offers human support for complex employment situations. Coverage runs 24/5, so response times can slow outside European and U.S. Business hours.
What integrations does Teamed offer?
3.6 out of 5field average 4.0I think Teamed is easier to use when integrations are on the lighter side. Without a clear catalog of pre-built connections, companies with layered systems will need extra work to move data around.
Teamed does not position integrations as a primary product feature. The platform focuses on keeping employment and payroll data accessible inside its own dashboard, with options to export or connect that data to other systems as needed.
From my review of the platform and documentation, Teamed supports data sharing mainly through CSV exports and API access.
These options allow companies to move employment and payroll data into ERP, HR, or finance systems. The emphasis is on flexibility rather than a fixed set of native connectors.
How integrations typically work
Integration support centers on:
CSV exports for payroll, employee, and cost data
API access for custom connections to HR or ERP systems
Optional cost-center mapping for finance reporting
Teamed does not publish a marketplace of pre-built integrations or list native connectors for specific HRIS or accounting tools. Companies that rely on plug-and-play integrations should confirm requirements during evaluation.
It’s also worth separating integrations from communication tools.
Slack and WhatsApp access are part of Teamed’s support model, not workflow automation. These channels provide direct access to account teams but do not sync data between systems.
What this means for you: Teamed works best for companies comfortable with API-based or export-driven integrations. Organizations that need ready-made connectors or deep system automation may need additional setup or alternative platforms.
What analytics and reporting features does Teamed include?
3.8 out of 5field average 4.0Reporting works well for tracking payroll, taxes, and employment costs. It loses a few point fractions because some deeper analytics I’d like to see are missing.
Teamed’s reporting focuses on cost visibility and payroll control rather than advanced analytics. The platform is built to help finance and operations teams review employment costs before payroll runs, not to model workforce trends.
Payroll data is organized by country, cost center, and benefit type.
Monthly invoices show itemized breakdowns per employee, including salary, taxes, employer contributions, and benefits. I’ve seen this structure used to support internal reviews and external audits without needing extra reconciliation.
A practical feature here is the pre-approval layer.
Teamed flags variances and currency mismatches before payroll is finalized. This gives finance teams a chance to catch errors early instead of correcting them after payments go out. Audit trails remain visible, which supports compliance and accounting reviews.
Reporting typically includes:
Global workforce cost summaries
Payroll breakdowns by country and cost center
Itemized employee-level invoices
Compliance and audit documentation
Teamed also offers country-specific controls and workforce reports. It does not promote advanced analytics tools, custom dashboard builders, or predictive workforce modeling.
What this means for you: Teamed gives clear, audit-ready views into global employment costs. Companies that need strategic workforce analytics or custom reporting will likely need additional tools.
How secure is Teamed?
4.2 out of 5field average 4.2Teamed shows a solid security setup, backed by ISO 27001, SOC 2 Type II, and regular third-party audits. It loses a few fractions of a point only because security information is framed at a high level, with less public detail than some enterprise-focused platforms.
Teamed’s security setup matches what I expect from platforms handling payroll data and employment records across multiple countries. The company backs its approach with recognized security certifications and regular third-party reviews.
Teamed holds the following security-focused certifications:
ISO 27001 for information security management
SOC 2 Type II covering security, availability, and data handling controls
Cyber Essentials and Cyber Essentials Plus for UK cybersecurity standards
These certifications point to defined access controls, monitoring practices, and internal security processes rather than informal safeguards.
From an operational standpoint, Teamed applies role-based access controls, standard authentication protocols, and encrypted data handling.
The company runs recurring security audits and maintains incident response procedures for handling security events. These controls apply across the core platform and supporting systems used for employment and payroll operations.
This section intentionally excludes privacy and regulatory compliance frameworks, which are addressed separately under compliance.
What this means for you: Teamed offers a solid security baseline backed by ISO 27001 and SOC 2 Type II. This level of coverage should satisfy most internal security reviews and procurement checks for global employment platforms.
What compliance standards does Teamed meet?
4.3 out of 5field average 4.3Teamed handles everyday employment compliance well, including contracts, payroll filings, benefits, and terminations under local law. I’m rating the platform 4.3 out of 5.
Teamed treats compliance as an ongoing legal process, not a setup checklist. Day to day, that shows up in how employment changes are handled, not just how contracts are created.
Each operating country has assigned legal specialists who track local labor law changes and advise on how they apply in practice.
When rules shift around notice periods, benefits, or payroll filings, updates come from people who work in those jurisdictions, not generic templates.
What contracts cover
Contracts are generated locally and reflect country-specific requirements from the start. Probation terms, termination rules, statutory benefits, and payroll obligations follow local law.
Tax filings and social security contributions run through automated workflows, with human review for edge cases and exceptions.
Core compliance coverage includes:
Local employment contracts by jurisdiction
Statutory benefits and payroll filings
Monitoring of labor law changes
Audit-ready employment documentation
On the regulatory side, Teamed matches GDPR requirements and maintains registration with CNIL in France. The platform also matches NIS2 obligations related to operational resilience.
These frameworks support data protection and governance, but sit alongside employment compliance rather than replacing it.
What this means for you: Teamed handles standard employment compliance well across multiple jurisdictions. Local legal involvement reduces risk in complex or regulated environments. Companies with unusual regulatory exposure should still confirm country-specific handling before hiring.
I have not yet run a hands-on demo of Teamed. This review is based on independent research: verified pricing pages, product documentation, aggregated user feedback from G2, Capterra, and Trustpilot, and community reports from Reddit and industry forums. When we complete a hands-on test-drive, this section will be updated with the full results.
What do Teamed customers say?
Teamed is rated on 1 independent review platform that we neither run nor can edit. We read them as the record of what living with Teamed is actually like, which is a different question from the one our own score answers. Read the review counts with some care: providers can ask their happiest customers for a review, and some run incentives to get them.
| Platform | Rating | Reviews | Who is rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| G2 | 4.5 / 5 | 75 | Customers |
| Glassdoor | 5.0 / 5 | 8 | Teamed's own employees, not customers |
Across 75 customer reviews, the weighted average is 4.8 out of 5. This is separate from our score and comes straight from each platform.
What this means for you
G2 rate Teamed 4.8 out of 5 across 75 reviews. We do not run those sites and we cannot edit them. We score it 4.1. Customers rate what they live with, like whether payroll runs on time and whether support picks up. We also score what they never deal with, like whether the price is published and how many countries we checked ourselves. If the two are far apart, that is your question for the sales call.
How does Teamed compare with its competitors?
Fees are each provider's own published starting price and the scores are ours, both at our last check. A cheaper provider is not automatically the right one for you, so read the last column before the price column. The providers we would send you to come first.

A dash in the last column means we have not assessed that provider against these seven situations yet, not that we rejected it. G2 ratings carry their review count, because a 5.0 from a few dozen reviews and a 4.7 from several thousand are not the same evidence. Country counts are the ones we have verified, so a provider built for one region shows a low number by design rather than as a weakness.
