RemoFirst

Overview

RemoFirst can employ international workers on a company’s behalf, avoiding the need to establish a local entity in each country. The company says its EOR service reaches 185+ countries, while contractor management and payments cover 150+ countries. It supports both worker types, including local employment contracts, payroll and tax filing, benefits administration, and visa and immigration services.

The web platform integrates with Workday, BambooHR, GoCardless, and ADP Workforce Now. RemoFirst states that it has SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001 certifications and is GDPR compliant. EOR service includes 24/7 customer support.

Key features

Employment and contractor management

EOR is the central offer for companies that need employees abroad but do not want to establish entities in each market. The stated reach is substantial, though local country requirements can change the EOR price. The free contractor tier includes onboarding, identity checks, contract generation and management, and expense reimbursement. It does not include payment processing, so companies paying contractors through RemoFirst need Premium Contractors.

AI tools and integrations

The platform describes a Global Recruiter Agent for guidance on compliance, compensation, talent availability, and purchasing power, alongside Task Manager and Payroll Agents. These tools broaden its scope beyond employment administration, but RemoHire, its AI talent-matching product, is marked as coming soon. The integrations with Workday, BambooHR, GoCardless, and ADP Workforce Now may help teams connect existing HR or payment workflows.

Pricing

RemoFirst uses a freemium model. Contractors Free tier is free and covers management, onboarding, identity checks, contract generation and management, and expense reimbursement. It is a useful starting point for managing contractor records, but not for processing payments.

Premium Contractors costs 25.00 USD per month, billed per person/month, and adds automated payments in 150+ countries with no minimum contractor count. That is the relevant tier for companies that need RemoFirst to pay contractors. RemoHealth costs 55.00 USD per month, billed per person/month, for optional medical, dental, and vision coverage.

Employer of Record costs 199.00 USD per month, billed per person/month, and covers 185+ countries. There are no minimum contract terms or employee count, and the pricing FAQ says there are no setup, onboarding, or termination fees, annual contracts, or minimums. EOR starts at $199 per employee per month, with the actual price varying according to local country requirements; budget for that variation when comparing markets.

Platforms

RemoFirst is available on the web. Its web-based delivery suits teams managing international employment from a central platform, while the listed integrations provide connections to several HR and payment services.

Who it's for

Startups and SMBs expanding internationally are the clearest fit: they can hire employees abroad through EOR without creating a local entity, and can manage contractors without a minimum count. Larger organizations are also within the company’s stated customer base. Companies whose main need is contractor payment processing should account for the $25.00 USD per person/month Premium Contractors charge rather than treating the free tier as a complete payments solution.

Pros and cons

• Broad stated reach: EOR covers 185+ countries and contractor management and payments cover 150+ countries, giving internationally distributed teams wide geographic scope.
• Flexible EOR terms: no minimum employee count, annual contract, or setup, onboarding, and termination fees lowers the commitment required to start.
• Free contractor management: onboarding, identity checks, contract administration, and expense reimbursement are included without charge.
• Payments cost extra: automated contractor payments require Premium Contractors at 25.00 USD per person/month.
• EOR pricing can vary: the $199 per employee per month starting price may rise with local country requirements, making a single headline rate an incomplete budget estimate.
• One product is still coming: RemoHire is labeled coming soon, so it should not factor into a current buying decision.

Alternatives

Compare options in Employer of Record Software if you want to review the wider category. Borderless AI is worth considering for its free HR AI agents and $29.00 USD per month Global Payroll plan. G-P offers contractor service at 39.00 USD per contractor/month, a free trial, and Android, iOS, API, and web platforms; consider it if those platform options or its contractor pricing better fit your needs.

Lano Contractor Management starts at 19.00 EUR per contractor/month and includes compliant contracts for 170+ countries, with a free plan and free trial. Plane Contractor Management has a free HRIS plan with hiring and onboarding tasks, a contractor and employee directory, custom reports, holidays, and time tracking. WorkMotion charges 31.00 USD per contractor/freelancer per month for contractor management and offers a free trial.

GoGlobal and Mauve Group are paid web-based alternatives. Native Teams offers Contractor Pay starting at 19.00 EUR per employee per month and a Remoter plan starting at 79.00 EUR per month; its Android, iOS, and web apps may suit teams seeking those platform choices.

Verdict

RemoFirst is a strong fit for companies that need international EOR hiring without local entities, especially those that value broad coverage and no minimums or annual contracts. Choose it for that combination and its free contractor-management entry point; look elsewhere if the $199 per employee per month starting price or variable local EOR costs do not fit your budget, or if you need contractor payments without a per-person fee.
