See how we compare providers
Use the global scores to make a shortlist, then check the South African employment arrangement and full cost with each provider.
What does this comparison cover?
The table shows twenty EOR providers from the supplied Top 20 scoring sheet. Ten have detailed South Africa fee profiles on this site. A place in the table does not mean we tested that provider’s South African payroll service or verified its local availability.
The fee profiles use public provider material and existing research. An advertised global starting fee is not automatically the price of a South African hire.
How do the scores work?
The Top 20 sheet scores six areas out of five. Its six region tabs feed the category averages, and a recognition adjustment affects the supplied overall result. We display the supplied values without recalculating them from the rounded categories. A dash means the sheet did not score an area; The supplied adjusted total is preserved. Missing values are not zero.
Teamed, Remote and Deel each show 4.7/5 after rounding. This South Africa table orders by the displayed total, then cost transparency and FX for ties. Teamed leads that tie at 5.0/5 on cost transparency and FX. The scores are global comparisons, not South African performance ratings. Confirm the local employer, adviser, funding, fees and contract terms for your hire.

Top 20 sheet supplied 29 September 2026. Ten providers have separate South Africa price and service notes below the table.
How do we use evidence?
Official pricing, contract and help pages establish what a provider publicly says. Customer reports help identify questions to ask, but one review does not establish a universal fee or failure rate. Unknown fees stay unpriced.
South African availability and advertised fees were checked separately from the global score sheet. The rand estimates use the cited exchange-rate reference. Request a written South African quote before comparing the full bill.
